Ethical Branding
Green washing...corruption

From Michelle Kidd to All panelists and other attendees: (11:15 AM)

From Jane to All panelists and other attendees: (11:16 AM)

And distroying our innards.

From Doreen Tanenbaum to All panelists and other attendees: (11:18 AM)

Sounds like all of us

From Me to All panelists and other attendees: (11:19 AM)

My City, Philadelphia, taxes sugared drinks!

From Raquel Torrent to All panelists and other attendees: (11:19 AM)

PERFORMERS NOT PRETENDERS !!! I love that !!!

From Jane to All panelists and other attendees: (11:19 AM)

Consumers are no longer accepting at 'face' value.

From Michelle Kidd to All panelists and other attendees: (11:20 AM)

Sugared drinks are taxed in the UK, I'm not sure how much difference it makes

From Raquel Torrent to All panelists and other attendees: (11:21 AM)

And it's also nice to know that consumers are getting savyer !!!

From Diane Skidmore to All panelists and other attendees: (11:21 AM)

Water. And water. And a filter for water (inexpensive). Words on the jug - Hidden Messages in Water. And water. Indeed - good to know people are learning

From Me to All panelists and other attendees: (11:22 AM)

Just the debate over the sugar drink tax has put the issue on the front page. It encourages thought and debate over diet.

From Diane Skidmore to All panelists and other attendees: (11:23 AM)

And the more you drop sugar the less you need it. Takes education first tho.

From Raquel Torrent to All panelists and other attendees: (11:23 AM)

Sometimes the problem is not ONLY on the entreprise that sells that BRAND but the legislation that doesn't really set the healthiest path !!!

From Jane to All panelists and other attendees: (11:24 AM)

So the brands are assessing themselves??

From Victoria Schwarz Schwarz to All panelists and other attendees: (11:25 AM)

David: do you have that as a directory? And would love a directory of good banks.

From Shannon McArthur to All panelists and other attendees: (11:26 AM)

@Malini, change your To: so WE can see your comments!!

From Kat Haber to All panelists and other attendees: (11:26 AM)

To all panelists and attendees.

From Kathryn Alexander, MA to All panelists and other attendees: (11:27 AM)

What would branding look like in the ‘new world’ we are trying to create? Marketing works - we see that in politics as well….

From Me to All panelists and other attendees: (11:27 AM)

@Malini, please repeat your post.

From MALINI Rajendran to All panelists and other attendees: (11:28 AM)

there was a report of high levels of pesticide  in the Coca-Cola, which led to the banning of supply to all school canteens, it also led to research into the use of pesticide in sugarcane farming in India and the excess mining of water from agriculture zones. there is no way that Coca-Cola can provide any health or nutritive value to the consumer.the biggest fraud is the diet coke.

From Michelle Kidd to All panelists and other attendees: (11:28 AM)

Yes David, We are Whole and Perfect just as We are.

From Diane Skidmore to All panelists and other attendees: (11:29 AM)

Thank you David!! We are whole as we are. Why aren't we dropping consumerism.

From Jane to All panelists and other attendees: (11:29 AM)

Once again it comes back to self awareness...nothing on the exterior of self is the medicine for happiness.

From Diane Skidmore to All panelists and other attendees: (11:29 AM)

Agree - stop pointing fingers and - STOP SHOPPING (hahaha)

From Jane to All panelists and other attendees: (11:29 AM)

Brands don't 'fix' us.

From Tiffany Stone to All panelists and other attendees: (11:29 AM)

How do we make climate justice important to people? I’ve started going on Instagram a.bit in the past year. During the pandemic people were calling out brands for their lack of diversity in models. How do we bet theses same people to also care about  the brands environmental practices?

From Diane Skidmore to All panelists and other attendees: (11:30 AM)

Or - buy what we need and check the quality (for example)

From Michelle Kidd to All panelists and other attendees: (11:30 AM)

The issue for many of us in daily life is how do we find the Time to check out all of the things we buy. Michelle 💓

From Diane Skidmore to All panelists and other attendees: (11:30 AM)

And lockdown has been lovely as - we HAD to stop shopping!!

From Katie Winer to All panelists and other attendees: (11:31 AM)

How do we as consumers try to impact companies like Kinder Morgan who are oil/gas and drilling pipelines through our green spaces and neighborhoods despite being sued by thousands of people?

From Shannon McArthur to All panelists and other attendees: (11:31 AM)

they taught me all that in Business Management school 30 years ago. Still status quo.

From Mary Thorp to All panelists and other attendees: (11:32 AM)

We are disrupting the status quo

From Diane Skidmore to All panelists and other attendees: (11:32 AM)

Totally - Raquel - governments support economy - profit over people!! Grrrrr - that's why we need system change!!

From MALINI Rajendran to All panelists and other attendees: (11:32 AM)

Tetra pack cannot control what the product manufacturers print. they have to follow the legislation for that product. but what Tetra pack has started doing is investing in post consumption packaging recycling.

From Kathryn Alexander, MA to All panelists and other attendees: (11:32 AM)

The ‘we the people’ approach requires all actors to be of good will. that is not reality, so what structures/processes need to be in place to make sure there is consistent honesty?

From Mary Thorp to All panelists and other attendees: (11:33 AM)

We need to change the system/legislation not wait for it to be changed.

From Doreen Tanenbaum to All panelists and other attendees: (11:33 AM)

Amen David!

From shawne mitchell to All panelists and other attendees: (11:33 AM)

What a great presenter! Philosopher. Objective. Understands business. Leading-edge thinker.

From Tiffany Stone to All panelists and other attendees: (11:33 AM)

Do any of you have sustainable brands you can recommend?

From Doreen Tanenbaum to All panelists and other attendees: (11:34 AM)

Spiritual notion of being responsible

From MALINI Rajendran to All panelists and other attendees: (11:34 AM)

for advertising it's called the hook. and they need to stop using kids in their advertising. because kids demand a specific product and parents usually give in.

From Shannon McArthur to All panelists and other attendees: (11:34 AM)

We MUST remove ourselves from the marketplace as best we can, seems.

From Raquel Torrent to All panelists and other attendees: (11:34 AM)

David, what you're saying it is sooo true !!! We consumers have the power to "educate" Brand enterprises BUT like with any other Transformation we do need trespassing the breach.  Sooo, how do we pass the Rubicon? How do we do until the brands hear our screams for change3 ???

From Shannon McArthur to All panelists and other attendees: (11:34 AM)

Brands for Good.  hmm

From Michelle Kidd to All panelists and other attendees: (11:34 AM)

I find it difficult to buy food groceries in Supermarkets that aren't packaged in plastic

From Diane Skidmore to All panelists and other attendees: (11:34 AM)

@Katie Winer - oil and fossil fuel businesses are part of the battle between good and evil. Common sense (and that could be governments if they had the interest of the planet at heart) says stop doing pipelines but - it's maybe (hopefully) the death throes of the old world. It's changing. Gradually.

From Liliane Mavridara to All panelists and other attendees: (11:35 AM)

One thing to consider is that 80% of the population is not at this level of deciding and choosing because of basic needs and struggle to make ends meet. And we can also say that 40% of us as Cultural Creatives we influence this new branding/marketing movement.

From Lane Maser to All panelists and other attendees: (11:35 AM)

Buy local, buy independent.

From Doreen Tanenbaum to All panelists and other attendees: (11:35 AM)

Love it David!

From Diane Skidmore to All panelists and other attendees: (11:35 AM)

@Michelle - aim to avoid supermarkets xxx
@Lane exactly

From Michelle Kidd to All panelists and other attendees: (11:36 AM)

The local shops package in plastic too

From shawne mitchell to All panelists and other attendees: (11:36 AM)

Yeah . . .

From Raquel Torrent to All panelists and other attendees: (11:36 AM)

Yes Ç!!!

From Dehanna Rice to All panelists and other attendees: (11:36 AM)

Brilliant! 2030 Goals in filtering our remembrance

From Kathryn Alexander, MA to All panelists and other attendees: (11:37 AM)

Brands for Good  - is it a ‘certification” process? that could be useful!!!

From Lane Maser to All panelists and other attendees: (11:37 AM)

@Michelle - same here; plastic is increasingly wrapped around EVERYTHING, even organic lettuce. I will not purchase and let the management know why. 😊

From Diane Skidmore to All panelists and other attendees: (11:37 AM)

The HR session that came from somewhere in the UK had a similar website - sustainable products

From MALINI Rajendran to All panelists and other attendees: (11:37 AM)

@Raquel. how many on this call read the labels on the products they buy at the supermarket, and if they do how many  understand the goobldegook on the label. which is some times so cleverly worded you need a PhD in chemistry to unravel the mystery. we need to make product education a basic part of school education.

From Shannon McArthur to All panelists and other attendees: (11:37 AM)

From MALINI Rajendran to All panelists and other attendees: (11:39 AM)

producer liability is a mandatory part of our environmental laws, product lifecycle is another mandatory declaration.

From Kathryn Alexander, MA to All panelists and other attendees: (11:40 AM)

@Malini nice to see how far along India is!!

From Raquel Torrent to All panelists and other attendees: (11:41 AM)

Who do you teach all these wonderful principles, David? Would you please tell us some of your clients?

From Tiffany Stone to All panelists and other attendees: (11:41 AM)

@Lane yes, that is the best. We’re able to buy local/independent for almost everything where we live, thankfully.

From Victoria Schwarz Schwarz to All panelists and other attendees: (11:41 AM)

Wouldn’t it be great to have coaches who come to our homes and point out what is obvious to them about things that can be improved in our own homes re choices, systems

From MALINI Rajendran to All panelists and other attendees: (11:42 AM)

that's the slip between the cup and the lip. the laws are in place -are they implemented -well that's a point to research.

From Kat Haber to All panelists and other attendees: (11:42 AM)

From Raquel Torrent to All panelists and other attendees: (11:43 AM)

I would be interested to attend if it is virtual!

From Yasmina Groenstein to All panelists and other attendees: (11:46 AM)

Circular innovations are not yet being adopted at scale by manufacturers. However there are great initiatives in place,  there is a lack of financial vehicles willing to take the risk investing in new innovations and a lack of expertise to assess these innovations...why? Because the old paradigm of our current economy...

From Raquel Torrent to All panelists and other attendees: (11:46 AM)

Wooow !!!

From Dehanna Rice to All panelists and other attendees: (11:46 AM)

So true! The enormous amount of recycling packages

From Raquel Torrent to All panelists and other attendees: (11:46 AM)

From MALINI Rajendran to All panelists and other attendees: (11:47 AM)

In 2006 when I was working with US counties, I was told that all the waste paper is shipped off (sold)to China, where it's processed and converted into fresh cartons the largest importer being Amazon.

From Me to All panelists and other attendees: (11:47 AM)

While I'm thinking about augmented reality, I have to post this short video featuring my daughter as the presenter: https://youtu.be/CqxF2Vdkyxw

From Raquel Torrent to All panelists and other attendees: (11:47 AM)

What level power have those "conscious innerpreneurs" to really change the scene of the Brand???

From Kat Haber to All panelists and other attendees: (11:47 AM)

Does Blackrock also do a great deal of greenwashing, @David?

From Dr. Carroy (Cuf) Ferguson to All panelists and other attendees: (11:47 AM)

For those who are concerned about where their next meal is coming from (food insecurity), in what ways, if any, can branding be used to constructively deal with issues like food insecurity?

From ChangJi (DDMBA) to All panelists and other attendees: (11:48 AM)

The amazing thing is that we call things we don’t want “waste”, perhaps we should reexamine our definition of “waste” in order not to be driven by the unexamined assumption of “there is an away for things/people” that do not fit in our lives"

From Michelle Kidd to All panelists and other attendees: (11:48 AM)

💓 Great question Cuf

From Yasmina Groenstein to All panelists and other attendees: (11:48 AM)

YES! The need WILL forward the movement to change to sustainable practices!
