Understanding the Green Consumer

Green consumer research maps the attitudes, intentions, and actual behaviours of consumers toward sustainable products, eco-labelling, and environmentally responsible brands. Meraki Research helps organisations understand what sustainability means to their customers — and what it takes to convert green intent into green purchases.

The Intention-Action Gap

Most consumers say they want to buy sustainably. Far fewer actually do. Our research quantifies this gap for your category and identifies the specific barriers — price sensitivity, convenience, trust, information overload — that prevent conversion.

Willingness to Pay for Sustainability

We use conjoint analysis and pricing research to determine the real premium consumers will pay for sustainable attributes in your product or service — accounting for hypothetical bias and category-specific dynamics.

Eco-Label & Certification Research

Do consumers notice your sustainability certifications? Do they trust them? We test recognition, comprehension, and purchase influence of eco-labels and sustainability claims across categories.

Sustainable Packaging Research

Packaging is often the most visible sustainability touchpoint. We evaluate consumer response to sustainable packaging materials, designs, and messaging — balancing environmental credentials with shelf appeal.

Frequently asked questions

The green intention-action gap is the well-documented difference between what consumers say they will do (buy sustainable products) and what they actually do at point of purchase. Our research quantifies this gap and identifies the barriers — price, convenience, trust — that prevent good intentions from converting.

We use conjoint analysis and pricing research to isolate the premium consumers will genuinely pay for sustainable attributes — controlling for hypothetical bias through incentive-compatible designs.
