Overview.
Welcome to the November 2021 data release. This month we tracked attitudes to 33 social and environmental issues to see how Australians are feeling about the issues we face as a society and dug into a handful of issues more deeply to interrogate current consumer attitudes and behaviour and consumers expectations of businesses in addressing these issues.
The report and data release covers:
- Issue tracker – identifying the issues Australians are most concerned about right now.
- Expectations of Industry – which issues consumers expect specific industries to address.
- Climate Change – people’s beliefs about our ability to meet 2050 emissions goals post-COP26.
- Investing for the future – willingness to choose ethical investing over better returns.
- Housing Unaffordability – with one in ten Australians believing housing is affordable.

We hope that the data sparks intrigue, creates conversation and give you ideas for moving your own business forward.
