KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The values of your business are a big part of your brand.

• If you want to create a strong brand be transparent about your values and stand by them. 

• When you act outside of your stated values, people notice, and it damages your brand.

• If you want to attract decent people you need to be very clear about what you stand for and what you don´t.

• In some companies employees are pressuring their employers to do more for the environment.

• Many companies are so driven by helping the environment that they are doing things that make it harder for them to compete in the market. Patagonia is an example of this.

•  Some companies do things they know are wrong or illegal because they can make more money. Yet, studies show that it’s the honest, ethical companies that make higher profits over the long term.

BEST MOMENTS
