How COVID-19 is prompting retailers and customers to do more with less
Summary
Satisfying practical needs for convenience ‘For busy weeknights’ and the desire for social kudos, ‘Impress your guest,’ HelloFresh offers customisable weekly boxes. Revisiting the issue earlier this month, Four Corners reported that the global plastics industry has deflected attention by perpetuating the narrative of recycling, regardless of how effective it really is. The first National Plastics Summit held in March attracted interest and pledges from major retailers across multiple sectors, including grocery, fast food and discount department stores. Hyundai was quick off the mark to offer customers free extensions to warranties set to expire in March, helping those who may have had limited access to vehicle servicing during COVID-19 restrictions. While the move was followed by Mercedez-Benz, Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche, Hyundai was fast to act and reinforced its global brand of C A R E. This wasn’t just a one-off demonstration of care, but one of several initiatives, including ‘Pay per kilometre’ car insurance, which those commuting less would appreciate.
