Brands for Good, Ipsos Partner to Uncover Global Insights, Trends on Consumers' Adoption of Sustainable Behaviors

(July 8, 2021)– SB Brands for Good, a multi-brand collaboration led by Sustainable Brands™, where leading global brands are working to use their collective influence to drive sustainable behavior change at scale, has announced a new partnership with Ipsos to expand its consumer research globally. SB Brands for Good and Ipsos will partner to conduct its annual Socio-Cultural Trend Research, generating insights on consumer opinions around and adoption of sustainable behaviors.

Through annual and quarterly research, SB Brands for Good measures consumers' self-reported gap in their sustainable lifestyle ambitions and actual behaviors (the “intention-action gap”) across the Nine Most Impactful Sustainable Behaviors, measuring the general population, as well as the individual brand level for SB Brands for Good partners. Each brand receives a “Good Life” score based on how well they are perceived in helping consumers achieve their own “Good Life.” The research also has uncovered insights around gender and race inequities, consumers’ mental health, and attitudes around climate and human health, at a time of unprecedented cultural change.

“Ipsos has been part of the Sustainable Brands community for some time, and it is a delight to partner with such a well-regarded research global powerhouse,” said KoAnn Skrzyniarz, founder and CEO, Sustainable Brands. “We look forward to learning from each other and are confident our collaboration will bring meaningful value to our community.”

The research to be conducted in Q3 2021 as part of this partnership will look to measure year-over-year trends on the intention-action gap, as well as focus on:

  • Assessing consumer values around environmental and societal sustainability
  • Measuring consumer perceptions of brands and brand actions towards accelerating the adoption of sustainable behaviors
  • Comparing the behaviors of consumers who use different SB Brands for Good Partner brands, giving these brands the opportunity to understand how their consumers have already adopted sustainable behaviors, and where they want or need more encouragement

“Sometimes we come across a partnership that really excites us, not just because the research subject area is stimulating, but also because it speaks directly to our personal passions,” said Natalie Lacey, Chief Research Officer, Ipsos. “The core of our partnership is bringing the voice of the public front and center to issues like sustainability and how to affect decisions taken by brands.”
