Sustainability has been a hot issue for more than two decades. This issue arises because there is a lot of criticism about environmental damage in various parts of the world which continues to increase yearly.  Sustainability knowledge and sustainability awareness are the main focus in promoting the use of sustainability products. Sustainable behavior begins with knowledge and awareness possessed by consumers, both men and women. This study aims to determine the difference between sustainability awareness and sustainability knowledge regarding gender perspective that focuses on Generation Z. This research is quantitative.

The data analysis technique was carried out with a t-test difference test using SPSS version 26.
