Sustainability and Social Responsibility Keynote Speaker
Avoid the Bud Light
Blunder
Do a lot of good – and do very well – with values-aligned sustainability and social responsibility.
Social Responsibility Keynote
Values drive customer decisions more than ever: people today expect the brands they support to reflect their values. In fact it’s safe to say we live in the Values Economy now. But the road of good intentions can be a perilous one. Just ask Budweiser, whose social responsibility efforts caused outrage across their customer base. Dangerous corporate missteps like this will always be known as “Bud Light Blunders” after the number one beer in the USA dropped to number two as a result of their values-alignment mistake.
