An online survey was conducted among the Swedish generation Z, between the ages of 19-29, using a snowballing and convenience type of sampling. 322 responses were then analysed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient together with multiple linear regression.

Green place and attitude showed a weak, yet positive, relationship towards purchase intention, and environmental concern were found to have a very weak insignificant positive relationship towards purchase intention.
