Green Branding (PDF)

This book describes the basics and success factors of ecological and social brand management and shows how innovative corporations, family and social enterprises implement them. With the resolution of the "European Green Deal" and the "UN Environment Agenda 21" at the latest, no company can afford not to develop its business model in an ecologically and socially fair way or to start the transformation now at the latest. This results in a wide range of tasks for managing a green, innovative business model across all industries.

This book is a translation of the original German 2^nd edition, Grüne Markenführung by Oliver Errichiello and Arnd Zschiesche, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2021. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.

In the second edition of the work, the authors clarify the structural causes that make the economy increasingly green. Using current examples from different segments such as food, textiles, cosmetics, but also the financial services industry, practice-relevant success concepts are vividly described using current case studies. Concrete instructions for implementation in practice make this book an inspiring guide.
