Generation Z

Gen Z is an innovative, creative, and motivated group of people
born between 1997 and 2012. These consumers seek pleasure
and excitement but also want products that connect with their
ideals. They actively promote their environmental and social
agendas through product purchases. Health is a key focus, too,
with holistic mind and body wellness is taking center stage as we
emerge from the pandemic.
As a result, they are driving demand for plant-based, climatepositive, healthy products that radiate joy through bold and
vibrant colors.
