Our report is an essential read, detailing how in identifying a core brand purpose and reason to believe, brands and companies at large can make strategic decisions that align with their values and still effect positive change.

We were fortunate to interview some leading brands within this space for our report, to assess the real challenges that lie ahead in 2019 and beyond, and also to offer learnings and strategic recommendations. The report features original opinions from Oatly, The Body Shop, Patagonia, Levi’s, IHG, Ben & Jerry’s and Finisterre.
