Introduction

The green shift is in a new phase and new companies are fighting for attention to sustainable alternatives with traditional players. At the same time, technology and changes in media habits affect the buying journey, and influence the questions and feelings the customer accumulates in the various phases leading up to making a decision. It places new demands on marketing that must help consumers in the green shift, by informing, guiding and influencing us to make more sustainable choices.
