Conscious Consumers Are Real — But They’re Overwhelmed
According to the 2025 Conscious Consumer Report published by Public Inc., while 76% of people call themselves “conscious consumers,” they only shop their values 38% of the time.
Why? Because most brands make it too complicated.
-
49% of people have walked away from products with confusing sustainability claims.
-
Among the most committed conscious consumers, that number skyrockets to 87%.
What Today’s Conscious Consumers Actually Want
The data shows that consumers aren’t looking for big abstract promises about “saving the planet someday.”
They want immediate, tangible benefits — for themselves and their families — right now.
Top factors that drive sustainable purchasing decisions:
-
✓ Products made without harmful chemicals
-
✓ Durability ("made to last")
-
✓ Breathable, safe materials
-
✓ Clear, honest claims they can understand without a PhD in sustainability
They care about skin safety. Body safety. Trust.

Why It Matters More in 2025 (and Beyond)
Consumers are increasingly boycotting brands that don't align with their values — and buycotting those that do.
In the last year:
-
43% changed their buying habits due to social/ethical concerns.
-
35% changed them for environmental reasons.
-
55% say they are likely to change their buying habits even more in the next year.
Sustainability isn’t a trend.
It’s becoming the default expectation.
If your brand can't meet it — clearly, honestly, beautifully — you’re going to get left behind.
