The 2024 WWF-SASSI report highlights the progress of South African seafood retailers in meeting sustainability commitments, noting that while some achieve high compliance (e.g., Woolworths at 93% by species), others lag. It identifies a growing consumer market, with seafood consumption rising to 16.7 million people by 2025, and emphasizes the necessity of a collective industry approach and Fisheries Improvement Projects (FIPs) to secure marine ecosystems.

The report identifies widespread greenwashing in the food industry, particularly among high-emission meat and dairy producers. It combines a market study of corporate claims with a YouGov survey showing that a significant portion of consumers in Germany and the UK are influenced by 'climate-neutral' labels, despite low overall trust in sustainability claims for animal products.

The survey of 3,025 USA respondents found that while initial familiarity with superhot rock geothermal energy is low, support increases significantly after viewing an explainer video. Post-video, nearly 60% of respondents support the technology, and nearly 70% view it as better than other energy sources. Key priorities for low-carbon energy include cost-efficiency (43%) and community health, safety, and environmental impact (38%). Support for the technology and the role of government in supporting energy innovation is high across Democrat, Independent, and Republican affiliations.

The report tracks the sustainability commitments of major South African seafood retailers and suppliers for 2020-21, noting a general decline in progress due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It highlights the vulnerability of coastal populations and fisheries to ocean warming and acidification, while advocating for nature-based 'blue carbon' solutions. Consumer data from 2021-22 indicates a rising demand for sustainable seafood, with hake, calamari, and prawns remaining the most consumed items in South African restaurants.

The report finds that an estimated 6.8% of Chinese outbound travelers purchase ivory while abroad, with Thailand, Japan, and Hong Kong SAR being the most popular destinations. Mail is the most common method for transporting these products back to Mainland China. While most travelers recognize the illegality of cross-border transport, many are misled by local guides and sellers who suggest that small items are safe to carry. The study highlights a specific 'planner' segment—typically high-income, highly educated females—who intentionally seek out ivory markets.

The Union of Concerned Scientists conducted a poll of 1,000 GM owners in March and April 2020. The findings indicate that GM's lawsuit to revoke the authority of California and other states to set vehicle pollution standards significantly damaged its reputation, with favorability dropping from 93% to 44%. The poll found that 87% of GM owners believe the company should support stronger pollution standards. Consumer support for the lawsuit decreased when participants were informed about GM's low environmental performance ranking, the closure of the Lordstown, Ohio plant, and the projected $160 billion cost to consumers through 2050. Consequently, the number of owners considering another brand rose from 30% to 67% after learning about these corporate activities.

A December 2019 poll of 1,000 Toyota owners indicates that the company's decision to join a lawsuit against vehicle emissions standards significantly damaged its brand favorability and customer loyalty. While initial favorability was high, 81% of owners believe Toyota should support stronger pollution standards. After learning about the lawsuit and the fact that Toyota's fleet emissions worsened from 2012 to 2017, favorability dropped from 98% to 66%, and the percentage of owners who would definitely purchase another Toyota fell from 78% to 47%.

The report evaluates the fashion industry's transition to responsible viscose production, noting increased engagement from brands and some progress by producers toward EU Best Available Techniques (BAT) standards. While some European brands are leading in transparency and policy, many others—including several luxury and US-based brands—remain laggards. The document emphasizes that voluntary self-regulation is insufficient and calls for government legislation to ensure industry-wide compliance with environmental standards.

The report evaluates the environmental performance and transparency of 91 clothing brands and several major viscose producers. It finds that while some European brands and producers like Lenzing and Aditya Birla Group are moving toward EU Best Available Techniques (BAT) standards, many others—particularly US brands and the Chinese viscose industry—remain laggards. The document argues that voluntary initiatives are insufficient and calls for mandatory government regulation to ensure a sector-wide transition to closed-loop production.

The survey reveals a strong consumer demand for transparency regarding environmental commitments and supply chain locations, though a significant majority find it difficult to identify ethical brands and distrust company-provided sustainability information.

A survey on secondhand clothing in India indicates that buyers are predominantly young females motivated by low prices and environmental impact, though hygiene and garment condition remain primary barriers to adoption.

The document examines the necessity of transitioning from unmanaged electric vehicle (EV) charging to smart charging (VGI) to prevent grid overloads and better align with solar generation. Based on a survey of Honda EV owners in the US, it finds high interest in VGI programs driven by environmental and financial motives, though significant concerns persist regarding data privacy and battery life, particularly among BIPOC, lower-income, and female respondents.
