Conscious Consumerism:

According to Diane Ridgway-Cross, EVP and managing director of MarketELLE, there is a disconnect between women’s values and their buying behaviour – and that needs to change. Ridgway-Cross spoke to this point at a sold-out TEDx Montreal Women conference on May 30. She stressed that consumers and companies need to be more responsible, and that marketers have an important role to play in affecting change.

Today conscious consumerism is important because there are so many things we have to change in this world like global warming, animal welfare, women’s right issues, etc. We need to reward the consumers who are doing the right thing and hold accountable those who aren’t.
