Consumer understanding of sustainability is growing, moving toward increasing sophistication in the links they see between a range of related issues.

As we emerge from a year defined by a global pandemic and growing concerns around social justice, political turmoil, and climate change, previously abstract environmental and social well-being concerns are becoming increasingly more tangible.

Sustainability 2021: Environment and Society in Focus, part of The Hartman Group’s foundational Sustainability syndicated study series, updates long-standing data sets and provides new insights on what sustainability means to consumers today, how they incorporate it into their everyday lives and prioritize it in their purchasing, how they think about specific sustainability topics (e.g., plastics and packaging, agricultural methods or social justice), and who should address these important societal challenges and how to address them.
