Decoding the Purpose-Driven Generation

Reliable sustainability data to support your next big decision. Actionable, behavior-anchored insights revealing what today’s purpose-minded consumers believe, expect, and do—delivered through our interactive dashboard so your team can explore, segment, and export with confidence.

What the Syndicated Study Covers

We decode how sustainability values influence buying, messaging, and retention—turning purpose into a business advantage at a fraction of traditional costs.

Purpose, claims & behavior

We connect beliefs and message resonance to the behaviors that drive growth—so you can close the say–do gap with confidence.

Generational & parental influence

Gen Z and Millennials lead, with younger Gen X rising—plus strong parental transmission of environmental values.

Packaging & label impact

Which on-pack claims move the needle—e.g., Plastic-Free, Recyclable, Plant-Based, Certified Carbon Neutral—and which read like greenwashing.

Corporate responsibility & trust

How transparency, supply-chain accountability, and EPR expectations shape brand trust and retention.

How We Measure Sustainability

Our view spans environmental and health dimensions that shape real-world choices.

Climate & Environment

Climate change beliefs, extreme weather experiences, and attitudes toward emissions and fossil fuel extraction.

Chemical Safety

Awareness and avoidance of BPA, phthalates, PFAS, VOCs, microplastics—across food, personal care, and home.

Circularity Behaviors

Recycling, composting, waste reduction, and preferences for reusable, refillable, and recyclable packaging.

Sustainable Consumption

Willingness to pay, organic/local buying, and the role of certifications in building consumer trust.

Corporate Responsibility

Expectations for commitments, transparency, and accountability (e.g., Extended Producer Responsibility).

Health–Environment Link

How personal wellness and environmental stewardship connect in choices about materials, ingredients, and labels.
