 Chapter 14: Psychographics: Values, Personality, and Lifestyles



1. Values


A new trend that has been gaining steam in the last decade has been sustainability. As the warning of imminent changes due to climate change, millennials and Gen Zers especially have been changing consumption patterns, placing a high value on sustainability and ethical practices from the companies they shop at.

Nordstrom made a one-time donation to GrowNYC to celebrate the partnership to support zero waste programs around NYC.
