Companies in all industries aspire to stay lean and make more money. Up until Gen Zs came along, very few wanted inventory in their warehouse. The case of a pioneer is that of outdoor retailer Patagonia, which was early in embracing the inefficiency in its behaviors, largely as a reflection of founder Yvon Chouinard's personal ethos. Degrowth wasn't a priority for consumers back in 1973. Each company's ability to align itself with how consumers think and live will determine market success in the current climate. According to a recent study, the sustainable expectations of consumers are shifting towards solutions that address the root cause of problems.
The bare minimum is now sustainable- branded product editions. Degrowth is here. Market dynamics within and across industries are reorganized by degrowth.
Where do we stand on sustainable development? Degrowth is positive for the environment and is necessary for social development. Growth needs a shift in how we approach it. Social mobility can be driven by business growth. This shift is supported by two degrowth strategies.
It's related to how to turn sustainable into a brand and business strength.
The most popular degrowth strategy is to create products that have longer lifespans and are locally produced. The concept of time is at the center of the value versus volume principle. Time was spent in creating desire and in producing excellence by means of materials and designs. The success of this strategy is determined by production and consumption models. The drop model has been used by Attire to grow its revenue to less than two years after it was launched. Attire's ethos is based on its vertically integrated production and local source. The core pillar of its branding is its affordability. By keeping its ethos separate from marketing assets, Attire embraces a responsible-by-default narrative. Some companies choose to make production problems happen. About 200 000 Birkin bags are maintained by the luxury design house Herms. It takes 18 hours for a crafter to make a bag. Next-gen makers are included in the professional training provided by Herms. Even during a global crisis, capitalizing on the notion of craftsmanship has been successful. The revenue of both Kering's and Herms was down in the early stages of the epidemic. The demassification equation includes rental companies. Several versions of the model have been inspired by the rental movement. There are occasions and everyday outfits. The growth model of Hack Your Closet is determined by the commitment of its customers. The company helps extend the life cycle of garments that would otherwise go to waste by renting out overstocks. HYC is creating new forms of social, cultural and economic capital by tailoring outfits for each customer. The approach works. The number of items circulating was close to 35,000 by the third quarter of 2011. They opened their second hub in France a year ago. Product design demassification encourages a shift in how customers, retail partners and competitors think about consumption.
How sustainable brands are able to win over conscious consumers.
Companies that use this strategy engage business partners and customers, strengthen their brand value, and create new ways to consume without exceeding production limits. The principle of value-chain decentralization is to delegate tasks such as trade-in and upcycle processes to local partners. This model has been used by Apple and Levi's to create new designs.
Community is one of the benefits of value-chain decentralization. Growth is dependent on short-term interactions. Products have a direct correlation to availability. Companies can form long-term connections by decentralizing their value chains. Everyone in the process of bringing a product to market contributes to the value of the product. The sales process becomes a different experience when each product is the result of a community effort.
