Nearly nine out of ten consumers experience the impacts of climate change first-hand in their daily lives and more than 40% of Europeans take environmental considerations into account when making purchasing decisions. Managers of large investment funds are focusing on ESG strategies and the public sector in Western Europe is initiating "green procurement". Sustainability is thus becoming an essential factor for growth, regardless of sector, business strategy and target group. This is according to the findings of the Prologis 2025 Supply Chain Outlook Report.
