Study consumers’ perceptions of sustainability claims

ACM commissioned a study on consumers’ perceptions of sustainability claims. The study shows that consumers react skeptically to sustainability claims, but understand specific and more-nuanced claims better than absolute and vague claims. Consumers think they understand incorrect claims, but are sometimes insufficiently critical of the claim. The incorrect sustainability claims presented sometimes create a more sustainable product image, making consumers more likely to buy the product.
