Purposeful Shopping Can Be a Question Mark for CPGs — Is Data Transparency an Answer?
The pandemic accelerated changes already in motion. McKinsey coined “the next normal” to describe the Covid-spurred generational shift in how people live and shop and, most crucially, what they care about.

Reduce Or Offset? Do Both. Here’s How.
