Sustainable marketing is an effort by companies to run their business to serve the customers of today while preserving the world for the customers of tomorrow. Companies are increasingly following an ESG, or environmental, social, governance, structure to bring transparency to their sustainability efforts. Sustainable marketing uses the main drivers of traditional marketing such as customer satisfaction, but it considers a broader set of impacted groups. There are myriad benefits to sustainable marketing as it relates to brand equity, financial measures, and government compliance. Purpose-driven brands stand for something more than what they sell, and they build their organization around that stated purpose.
