Banking on Agentic Commerce A Narrow Window for Consumer Intent and Impact Data to Future-Proof Just and Sustainable Commerce
The Yale Center for Business and the Environment and the Yale Center for Environmental Justice, in collaboration with Doconomy and Exponential Roadmap Initiative, have released a joint white paper: “Banking on Agentic Commerce: A Narrow Window for Consumer Intent and Impact Data to Future-Proof Just and Sustainable Commerce”.
Backed by a unique consumer survey gathering input from 11,000 respondents across the US, UK, EU, China and India, the white paper outlines a critical, time-sensitive opportunity. As e-commerce rapidly transitions toward autonomous AI agents capable of evaluating, selecting, and executing purchases on behalf of consumers, the authors urge the industry to establish open, standardized social and environmental impact data protocols before closed commercial algorithms default strictly to price, speed, and margin.
