One in three still say corporate DEI stances make them more likely to purchase

The number of Americans is rising who will make a purchase because of corporate DEI policies, according to the Ipsos Consumer Tracker

The Ipsos Consumer Tracker asks Americans questions about culture, the economy and the forces that shape our lives. Here's one thing we learned this week.

Chart showing that many Americans say corporate DEI policies make them more likely to purchase


Why we asked: The term DEI and the policies of diversity, equity and inclusion remain divisive. Brands are struggling to address (or not) the topics in both communications and policies

What we found: Since we last asked a year ago, support among shoppers remains split. Just as many (34%) say they are more likely to support brands with strong commitments to DEI. However, more now say they are much more likely. At the same time, slightly more also say they are less likely to support a brand with a commitment to DEI. But a plurality still say it has no impact on their support.
