The Say Do Sustainability Study
In the early months of this year, we embarked on the second wave of our Say Do Sustainability Study to understand the nation’s mindset. Surveying 2,000 adults to understand their thoughts and feelings on environmental and sustainability issues.
The Say Do Sustainability Study offers pivotal insights into the UK’s current sustainability landscape. We leveraged our AI-driven tool ThoughtScape and our proprietary sustainability segmentation to deeply understand and interpret the nuanced consumer perspectives on sustainability.
In this report, we discover the evolving attitudes and actions towards sustainability across generations, genders, and socioeconomic groups, revealing a complex yet optimistic picture of the future.
