Replay - "Online commerce and social responsibility" live conference

On Wednesday June 16, a live conference was held on the theme of " How to combine online commerce and social responsibility? "organized by Bpifrance Le Hub and Usbek & Rica.

Online consumption exploded following the two confinements and the closure of shops. According to PwC's Global Consumer Survey 2020, 86% of people who increased their online purchases during the pandemic intend to continue using e-commerce when stores reopen.

As a result, people are buying more and more online, but they also want more and more transparency: to know where the product comes from, how it was made and transported, the company's values... Yet a certain contradiction is palpable: consumption is frenetic, it's a race to find new things, new offers, new purchases...

So can online shopping and responsible purchasing go hand in hand? How can companies reinvent themselves to meet this growing consumer demand? Or do we need to educate compulsive buyers? What relationship will we have with our consumption tomorrow?

To explore these questions, Cyril Besse - CEO of Univers Retail - was invited as aretail expert, accompanied by :

  • Timothée Richard - Co-founder of Choose

A mobile application that puts the spotlight on beautiful brands that have meaning, values and are thinking about tomorrow's world.

  • Aymeric Déchin - Co-founder of Faume

Faume provides a white-label technological and logistical solution for brands wishing to launch their second-hand offer.

The company contributes to limiting the environmental impact of the production of technological devices by marketing reconditioned products.

A TOTEM moderated by Florie Debailleux, Journalist at Usbek & Rica.
