Isoimmat sosiaalisen median kanavat, kuten Facebook ja Twitter, tulevat luultavasti olemaan käytössä vielä pitkään. Kuitenkin esimerkiksi Faceboo- kista tiedetään jo hyvin, että osa sen entisistä käyttäjistä on lopettanut sen käytön.

  • Conscious Brands 100
    Conscious Brands 100 © WOLFF OLINS AND HALL & PARTNERS 2021 INTRODUCTION CONSCIOUS BRANDS 100 2 WELCOME TO THE CONSCIOUS BRANDS 100 The 2020s have already disoriented us all. They’ve shocked us, bored us, inflamed us and driven us to do things very differently. Global events are changing not just how we all feel and behave, but what we fundamentally value. Over half of consumers (57%) believe that brands need to do more to positively impact society. The Covid crisis has revealed inequalities at a new level, been a catalyst for social and political unrest, and changed the way many see the world. Plenty of brands can feel the boat rocking. But who has the tools to navigate all this change? Many of our clients are now entering a period of reflection and renewal. Some are shifting their sense of purpose. Some are focused on climate action. Others are leading on diversity and inclusion. But how do you know what matters most in the eyes of global citizens? And which brands are showing the way forward (and should you follow their example)? We felt it was time to create a new benchmark for brands - to help provide some answers and create a springboard for change. Thus the Conscious Brands 100 was born. What is a conscious brand? “INTELLIGENCE IS THE ABILITY TO SOLVE PROBLEMS, WHEREAS CONSCIOUSNESS IS THE ABILITY TO FEEL THINGS SUCH AS PAIN, JOY, LOVE AND ANGER. THROUGHOUT HISTORY, INTELLIGENCE ALWAYS WENT HAND IN HAND WITH CONSCIOUSNESS.” —Yuval Noah Harari Today, we see that there is a clear need for brands to act more responsibly – to become more ethical, sustainable and prepared to make tough calls on moral and social issues.

Boise and the federal lawsuit Orange County Catholic Worker v. County or Orange, et al.; the settlement of the latter requires cities to, at a minimum, provide shelter beds for 60% of their homeless popula- tion before they can enforce “anti-camp- ing” ordinances. Basically, according to the law, cities can’t criminalize poverty. These legal requirements have prompted cities in north Orange County—most recently Placentia, Buena Park, and Fullerton—to open “navigation centers” that are homeless shelters with wraparound social servic- es, with the ultimate goal of getting peo- ple the help they need and into perma- nent housing.
