Ecoflation: The Cost of a Changing Environment

A future scenario study by A.T. Kearney and the World Resources Institute

Soaring prices for commodities has brought renewed attention to the scarcity of natural resources and the economic impact of these shortages. Rattling Supply Chains: The Effect of Environmental Trends on the Fast Moving Consumer Goods Industry, is a new study from A.T. Kearney and the World Resources Institute that examines the effects and the challenges of environmental changes on business. The research indicates that failure to adjust to changing conditions could cost fast moving consumer goods companies up to 47 percent in earnings over the next 10 years. Businesses will have to remain profitable while also protecting the fragile environment upon which they depend. Our findings suggest that the winners in this new world order will be those firms that understand the consequences and transform their business models to meet environmental needs.
