According to Deloitte's 2025 research, B2B buyers are prioritizing sustainability like never before. And it's not lip service. Buyers are now factoring environmental and social impact into procurement decisions—even in traditionally price-sensitive industries.
Why This Shift Is Real:
- Trust Is Tied to Values: Suppliers demonstrating transparency and sustainability scored higher in renewal and satisfaction.
- Compliance Pressure: ESG regulations are filtering down from enterprise to vendor.
- Millennial & Gen Z Procurement Teams: Purpose-driven preferences are influencing every shortlist.
How to Respond:
- Highlight real sustainability metrics—not vague goals.
- Embed purpose into content narratives, not just the footer.
- Collaborate with ops and product teams to verify claims.
Our Take
At Pineapple View Media, we advise clients to treat sustainability as a strategic moat—not a marketing checkbox. In commoditized markets, values win deals.
