Buyer Survey Support

Measure to Improve’s (MTI’s) Buyer Survey Support allows clients to respond accurately, completely, and confidently to buyer sustainability information requests.

By developing systems and training client team members, MTI creates processes that allow staff to complete surveys more efficiently and utilize what they learn to solve business problems, improve operations, more closely align with buyer sustainability programs, and tell their company’s sustainability story to both buyers and consumers.

 

Retailers such as Walmart, Costco, and Kroger are collecting information from their suppliers to understand and market the sustainability of their products. Some buyers are even beginning to make purchasing decisions based on supplier responses. These requests are driven by growing consumer demand for sustainable products.
