Better Futures Thrive 2024

For 15 years, the Kantar Better Futures Report (delivered in partnership with SBC) has been the reference point for understanding NZ consumers’ perspectives on sustainability and the issues that are important to them. Off the back of this year’s results, ‘Better Futures Thrive’ will provide NZ businesses, in greater detail, with an up to date understanding on ‘the S in ESG’.

In order to understand why, it is useful to understand three different perspectives of NZ consumers & citizens regarding the varying dimensions of social sustainability:

  1. How it impacts purchase decisions
  2. How NZ’ers feel about issues relating to diversity, equity and inclusion
  3. How it is seen as an ethical responsibility
