As Black Friday approaches and the pre-Christmas rush gets underway FraudSMART has issued an appeal to?consumers?to be extra vigilant and to inform themselves of the simple steps that they can take to prevent falling victim to fraud. A new report published recently by FraudSMART, the fraud awareness initiative led by Banking & Payments Federation Ireland (BPFI), shows that fraudsters stole nearly €45 million through frauds and scams in the second half of 2021. This marks a jump of 37% on the same period the previous year.
Irish?consumer?sentiment fell marginally in November as conflicting factors made for a more uncertain outlook. According to the latest?Credit Union Consumer Sentiment Index, budget support measures and comparatively favourable developments in the Irish economy combined with mild weather may have taken some of the immediate sting out of cost-of-living pressures. However, rapidly increasing concerns about?job losses in the tech sector and a related caution about spending plans have proven slightly more influential drivers of consumer thinking?of late. As a result, Irish?consumer?confidence was slightly lower in November than in October.
Nestlé's?Nespresso?coffee?business is launching paper-based compostable capsules to attract customers put off by the Swiss packaged food giant's metal ones, which despite being recyclable often end up in landfill. Nespresso?CEO Guillaume Le Cunff told Reuters that not all customers were aware that its aluminium capsules are recyclable, and may be more comfortable with the compressed paper pulp pods. "The objective is not to replace all the aluminium pods with paper, but to give the consumer more choice. It's an alternative for sustainable options," Le Cunff said in an interview. "You can compost the paper capsules or recycle the aluminium ones. We let the customer choose," he added.
