Sustainability is a growing concern for consumers. These concerns have a direct impact on their shopping behavior, including their attitude towards certain brands, which products they purchase, how they want products packaged, and more. We’ve evaluated these concerns and connected them with what consumers are actually purchasing for rich insights around environmental concerns and action, as well as insights on how these attitudes and behaviors have changed over time.
We give multinationals, local manufacturers and retailers a comprehensive understanding
of consumers´ liefestyles and concern to plan for future success
Get a deep dive into the current attitudes, behaviors, and concerns of consumers when it comes to sustainability and plastics, and see what actions they currently take to minimize their impact on the environment.
Track the impact of influencers, activists, and social media on shopping behavior across demographics, and understand if environmental messaging/campaigns have had an impact on awareness and recognition of certain brands.
Because this is an annual report, you’ll be able to compare how consumers’ ideals change over time so that you can evolve your sustainability strategies based on changes in consumer attitudes and behaviors.
Understand if different actions are required to meet consumer demands for different manufacturers or categories (eg. If home products should take different actions than beverage suppliers).
Pinpoint your next actions to meet the demands of your customers, and develop your long-term marketing and product strategies around the environment and waste reduction.
Insights into whether or not consumers are willing to pay a higher price for brands that promote environmentally friendly practices across different categories allow you to rethink your pricing strategy.
