From Insight to Impact: Using Consumer Research to Drive Sustainable Behavior Change
Creating sustainable products is only half the battle. The real challenge? Getting consumers to embrace eco-friendly behaviors and make lasting changes to their daily routines. By understanding the psychology behind sustainable choices, marketers can develop more effective strategies to drive meaningful behavioral change.

Motivation Triggers: What truly drives consumers to make sustainable choices?
Friction Points: Which barriers prevent the adoption of green behaviors?
Social Influences: How do community norms impact sustainable choices?
