Sustainability market research

From helping organisations identify where they’re falling short on corporate sustainability, to understanding consumer perceptions of a brand’s eco-credentials, and designing behaviour change models which encourage individuals to address their own environmental impact – the breadth of our market research outputs in the sustainable space is incredibly varied. As the world around us gets hotter, the topic of sustainability burns every brighter and can present both challenges and opportunities for business-facing and customer-centric organisations alike.

With a wealth of experience conducting sustainability focused market research projects for businesses across the public and private sector, as well as not-for-profit organisations, our team can deliver details insights which can drive positive change for your business and your audience.

A wide-ranging topic with single mission

Market research projects centred on matters of sustainability, and the many environmental concerns within this wide-ranging area of study, can be incredibly diverse in terms of focus and objectives. However, although organisations may view their corporate responsibilities through their own individual lens, the core principles of taking action to help tackle and reduce the causes of climate change, and supporting a more sustainable future for our planet, are common throughout.

Sustainability market research is invaluable to governments, NGOs, businesses and public sector organisations looking to understand consumer behaviour (and potential to change behaviour), gauge the demand for sustainable products and services, identify market gaps and opportunities and to develop effective strategies for improved sustainability.

Consumer awareness and demand for sustainable products and services has grown rapidly in recent years, coupled with a focus on living more sustainability and consuming less, in order to protect our planet’s resources.

Our consumer-centric sustainability projects at DJS Research have covered a broad range of initiatives including:

  • Food waste reduction.
  • Food labelling (use by and best before dates).
  • Red meat consumption.
  • Reuse and refill (as an alternative to packaged goods).
  • Single use plastics usage.
  • Recycling/digital deposit return schemes.
  • Green skills policy.
  • Circular economy.
  • Fashion with a conscience.

Our researchers in the field of sustainability market research come with decades of experience in conducting research with consumers, retailers and brands and bring that wider knowledge and expertise to each sustainability project. In addition, we work with our in-house Behavioural Science Unit when designing research concerned with behaviour change interventions, to draw on their expertise in both change modelling and human behaviour.

If your organisation is looking for insight to support your sustainability strategy, or to motivate your audience to take positive action to reduce their environmental impact, contact us today.
