Sustainable Consumption Institute

The Sustainable Consumption Institute (SCI) is a centre of excellence researching sustainability in the retail sector and encouraging consumers to adopt more sustainable lifestyles.

The SCI has been set up against the background of the global threat from climate change and the economic benefits of early action highlighted by the Stern Review.

The key to success will be cooperation by government, business and the consumer to understand how to move towards a low-carbon economy by consuming more efficiently and how to lead low-carbon lifestyles.
