The results told us Felix’s demographic really wanted to shop for climate-friendly food brands, but found the sustainability information too confusing and – perhaps as a result – believed sustainable grocery shopping to be too expensive.Our strategy was clear: Give shoppers better information on the climate impact of Felix products and, in the process, demonstrate how easy it is to make climate-friendly choices when products are clearly labelled. We called it The Climate Store (Klimatbutiken) – the world’s first grocery shop in which the ‘price’ of food would be based on its carbon footprint.
- Climate Supermarket
- Climate store
- Survey showed consumers were confused by sustainability information
- consumers were left with the belief that shopping sustainably was too expensive
- One answer to simplify the complexity that was confusing people was uniform labeling of grocery products with their CO2e and a hard limit (18.9Kg CO2e) that consumer must stay under each week to meet Paris agreement
-
Customers could only pay with a CO2e currency we printed for the occasion, with every shopper given a ‘budget’ of 18.9 kg CO2e to spend – the maximum personal weekly allowance if we are to meet the goals of the 2030 Paris Agreement.
= example - gamifying system change in one area - grocery shopping - 18.9 kg was the hard limit - shoppers must keep their purchases under 18.9 kg per week to do their fair share to stay within planetary boundaries, in terms of grocery shopping
-
= creative carbon footprint labeling gamifies Paris Agreement - grocery story that did an experiment - opened a test popup grocery store in the retail district of Stockholm - where all grocery items were labeled with its carbon footprint - customers were issues CO2e currency - using IPCC guideline that - weekly grocery shop carbon footprint < 18.9 kg CO2e to be aligned with Paris Agreement - customers must stay under 18.9 kg CO2e
