In a time when environmentally conscious branding<\/a> is paramount in marketing circles, the overall adoption of \u201cGreen\u201d initiatives should be, first and foremost, a fundamental decision. Where choices are made based on what\u2019s right instead of what\u2019s convenient. Often, technologies advance so rapidly that legislation is caught playing \u201ccatch-up\u201d. It is during these times that brands face the decision of doing what is the scientifically proven best choice for the environment or shelving this choice because of marketing obstacles.<\/p>\n

Often the final decision comes down to the corporate integrity of the brand and personal devotions of those brands leaders. The \u201cwhy do we do what we do?\u201d question. Do you implement environmental measures because it is the right thing to do, or do you implement them because it may improve your bottom line?<\/p>\n

For example: Novartis is an international company who has made a corporate commitment to pay a \u2018living wage\u2019 to all employees worldwide. This means that they are often paying above legally required minimum wage because they understand that minimum wage does not provide for basic human needs. They implemented this corporate directive, not because it improved their immediate bottom line; but because their corporate moral standing includes a belief that an appropriate standard of living should always be respected in the course of business.<\/p>\n

This is a specific example about human rights issues, and environmental rights follow the same path. Many companies are in business simply to make money for the shareholders, while others hold themselves to a higher standard or social cause, whether that is human rights, environmental issues, legislative involvement or truth in advertising. When your brand faces these tough decisions, it is much like a refiner\u2019s fire where the true moral standing of your brand shines through. When all is said and done, those companies that tout their environmental accountability through the integrity of that decision and not the convenience that it offers will be clearly recognized by the consumers as brands with integrity and moral.<\/p>\n
