ATLANTA, Georgia and LONDON, U.K. June 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq: DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, released findings from its 2023 Home Delivery Sustainability Report: Consumers Expect More! survey, which examined consumer sentiment of retailers’ sustainability practices around their delivery operations. The survey found that only 43% of consumers felt retailers were doing a good job of using sustainable delivery practices. Over 60%, however, indicated they were quite/very interested in environmentally friendly delivery methods. Additionally, 59% said they are willing to act if they’re not satisfied with retailers’ sustainable delivery efforts.
