Evolving Brand Value explores the correlation between sustainability and brand strength. Using big data from 398 sources and 73 million data points, the document finds some links between sustainability processes like strong community relations, employee loyalty, and robust governance, and improved profitability measures like lower risks, better customer relationships, and predictable returns. However, it warns that the relationship is complex, with differences by industry. Standards bodies like SASB are developing industry-specific standards to better understand and manage these relationships.
