On the program of this conference

1^st part : The barometer of the Observatoire Cetelem

A year of health crisis had greatly tested the morale of Europeans. Surprisingly, a year later, they are perked up with manifest optimism. While some signals have turned green again, such as spending intentions up significantly, other indicators of this new barometer, in particular a still high level of savings and a shared finding of rising prices, cast a shadow over the maintenance lasting of this regained confidence.

2^nd part : Circular Economy – Make way for the consumer-entrepreneur

As a carrier of alternative and more sober consumption in response to the climate challenge and the challenges of preserving resources, the circular economy has a great deal of play these days. Do its famous “3Rs” (reuse, recycle, reduce) still have secrets for European consumers? More importantly, how do they handle it in practice?

Through the adoption of new behaviors, the consumer today becomes “entrepreneur of his consumption”, what are the springs?

Faced with the rise of the circular economy and an expanding offer, which channels and players will be favored by the European consumer?

A few words about the methodology
