8 participants aged 16–261-week online immersion2 home visitsHalf-day co-creation workshop

The challenge

Oatly wanted to understand young eco-activists. Chinese millennials and Gen Z have a distinctive sense of social responsibility and ways of taking part.

Our approach

Participants completed text, photo and video tasks. Our ethnographers and film team visited homes and hang-outs, and we closed with an expert interview and a co-creation workshop.

The result

Realistic, practical actions for Oatly to grow beyond a niche lifestyle symbol into an environmental pioneer.
