The event showcased the top trends in branding and sustainability, hosted a panel discussion and welcomed renowned speakers to share their advice and experiences. At the end of the day, AEBrand awarded prizes to the leading companies across five different categories: Social Impact, Brand Creation, Brand Repositioning, Brand Experience and Internal Branding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>What\u2019s a sustainable brand?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simply put, a sustainable brand is one that integrates all three pillars of sustainability\u2014social, economic and environmental\u2014into its mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sGR9F5AvfoU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IE Brands &amp; Sustainability Forum<\/a>, we listened to our inspiring speakers share their stories about what sustainable branding means to them and how they\u2019ve seen it successfully integrated through real-world business cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read on to find out what our speakers had to say!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>\u201cWith great power comes great responsibility\u201d<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our first speaker was Michael Birkin, CEO of kyu, the strategic operating unit of Hakuhodo DY Holdings (HDY).  kyu\u2019s purpose is \u201cto be a source of creativity which propels the economy and society forward.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Michael is an instrumental player in the world of branding, having invented the concept of brand valuation himself. During his speech, Michael quoted his favorite superhero Spiderman: \u201cWith great power comes great responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns left-image is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">He believes that a creative mindset and design thinking is vital for our sustainable future and that brands really have the power to impact how we live our lives.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Brands-Sustainability-Forum-20212.jpg\" alt=\"IE Brands &amp; Sustainability Forum 2021: A recap\" class=\"wp-image-28327\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Brands-Sustainability-Forum-20212.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Brands-Sustainability-Forum-20212-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Brands-Sustainability-Forum-20212-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Brands-Sustainability-Forum-20212-585x379.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Michael told us about some of his experiences of sustainable branding within global organizations. During his time as \u201caccidental\u201d CMO of Acer a few years ago, he was involved in their rebranding efforts. Their approach to sustainable branding was to break down the barriers between people and technology. Their new provocation was \u201cwhat if every product that we make is a solution to the world\u2019s issues?\u201d, and it was materialized through the Project Humanity initiative. The project was a success, as both the company and consumers believed in it and it permeated the whole company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns right-image is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Brands-Sustainability-Forum-20213.jpg\" alt=\"IE Brands &amp; Sustainability Forum 2021: A recap\" class=\"wp-image-28328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Brands-Sustainability-Forum-20213.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Brands-Sustainability-Forum-20213-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Brands-Sustainability-Forum-20213-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Brands-Sustainability-Forum-20213-585x379.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s more, Micheal covered his experience with Oprah Winfrey at Weight Watchers, whose manifesto is: \u201cWe inspire healthy habits for real life.\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One particularly novel branding approach that Michael highlighted is the \u201cbrand filter,\u201d a checklist which was put in place to ensure that every decision that Weight Watchers takes is measured against the company\u2019s three-year goal. Thanks to this approach, Weight Watchers has managed to eliminate 70% of its artificial colorings and flavorings from its products. Due to revised branding efforts, Weight Watchers has evolved into a highly relevant and authentically sustainable brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch the video to hear <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sGR9F5AvfoU&amp;ab_channel=IEUniversity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Michael\u2019s speech<\/a> in full!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Sustainability is no longer just a \u201cnice to have\u201d<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our second keynote speaker, Elio Leoni Sceti, joined us virtually from Italy. Elio is co-founder of Craftory Brands, former CEO of Eco Group and former director of Nomad Foods. What\u2019s more, he\u2019s currently a board member of several companies related to the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns left-image is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rather than being a product, a function or an experience, Elio likes to think of a brand as a set of values that reflects and then projects a company\u2019s beliefs onto others.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Brands-Sustainability-Forum-20216.jpg\" alt=\"IE Brands &amp; Sustainability Forum 2021: A recap\" class=\"wp-image-28331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Brands-Sustainability-Forum-20216.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Brands-Sustainability-Forum-20216-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Brands-Sustainability-Forum-20216-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Brands-Sustainability-Forum-20216-585x379.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During his talk, he spoke to us about the relationship between Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and the CPG industry. He explained that by applying ESG through CPG, the Craftory contributes to delivering good health, promoting self-esteem, helping society to progress, democratizing access and prospering sustainably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s more, Elio highlighted that the CPG industry is shifting its focus from delivering on value, performance and convenience, to more sustainability-focused drivers in order to reflect the preferences of today\u2019s new consumer generation. For example, during a survey, Elio discovered that 45% of participants stopped purchasing specific brands due to ESG concerns and many were happy to pay a premium for more sustainable products. In short, sustainability is fundamental to the long-term success of brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find out what else Elio had to say <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sGR9F5AvfoU&amp;ab_channel=IEUniversity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">on YouTube.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns right-image is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Brands-Sustainability-Forum-20214.jpg\" alt=\"IE Brands &amp; Sustainability Forum 2021: A recap\" class=\"wp-image-28329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Brands-Sustainability-Forum-20214.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Brands-Sustainability-Forum-20214-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Brands-Sustainability-Forum-20214-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Brands-Sustainability-Forum-20214-585x379.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">At IE University, many of our alumni go on to found their own businesses or become invaluable, impactful players in established organizations.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s one of the reasons why we put such an emphasis on sustainability throughout our programs.
