Ethical Consumer Markets Report 2018

Government changes to taxation and subsidies have caused the collapse of two key green markets. Falling sales for solar panels and energy-effcient cars accounted for the slow growth seen by the ethical market overall which, at +2.5%, was outstripped by inflation in 2017.
