February 2023 - We support the nationale climate transition
Our CO2 footprint as a brand consultancy is still quite manageable. Nevertheless, we wanted to make a small contribution and have offset 15 tonnes of CO2 for 2022 together with our energy partner Stadtwerke München GmbH.
The #compensation is done via efficient charcoal cookers known as Gyapa, which replace inefficient basic cookers popularly known as coal pots in Ghana. In this way, greenhouse gas emissions are significantly reduced and savings are made on charcoal fuel, which is the main cooking fuel for families in urban and semi-urban areas of Ghana.
Furthermore, together with Stadtwerke München, we promote the maintenance and expansion of renewable energy plants in Germany. Thus, in addition to international CO2 offsetting, we are making an additional contribution to the national energy transition and emission avoidance in Germany.

SEPTEMBER 2019 - ACTING IS DIFFICULT - THE DIETRICH IDENTITY SUSTAINABILITY STUDY
Studies show that companies have become very conscious of sustainability.
Imagine there's a climate crisis and nobody is doing anything. Global warming, melting ice, CO2 emissions: not a day goes by without hearing about the climatic changes on earth. The subject has long since entered our consciousness. But living according to it is (still) difficult for us. This is confirmed in a current study by the Munich-based branding consultancy DIETRICH IDENTITY on the subject of "Relevance of sustainability in companies".
WHAT’S YOUR STORY - BRAND MANAGEMENT OF INDUSTRIAL COMPANIES
Thank goodness at least that hasn't changed ... Your customers still make decisions based on their needs. They are not interested in what sales channels companies consider relevant or which marketing campaigns are being implemented. Your customers want to get the products, service, and information they need. That makes them happy.
ABOUT VALUES IN THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT
Over the years, the framework conditions for companies have changed fundamentally. In times of globalization, markets are saturated and services and products are interchangeable. Finance is not spared from this development either. Brand values flow into purchasing decisions and shape employees in the company. Raiffeisen INSIDE spoke to value developer and brand consultant Stefanie Schatz about the basics of values and their importance in finance.
RENAISSANCE OF GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Interactive media, devices that can communicate with each other, artificial intelligence, agile working methods, sharing economy, digitization is accelerating our working world dramatically. Not everyone can find their way around this new world easily. The changes in values and society cannot be ignored.
In this environment of change, the leaders of companies today have to pay special attention to employee and customer orientation. You may be wondering not only which values have made your organization strong, but how these values will continue to exist tomorrow.

HOW TO NAME YOUR INNOVATION?
Innovations wherever you look. You need a name that stands out and is remembered. As an unmistakable identifier, a “product name” condenses positioning, brand values or message in a unique linguistic expression. In addition to the creative and artistic process of finding a name, it is important to bring a whole range of other different requirements in line with each other.
Munich, Cologne January 2018
The book “Strategic Management of Humanitarian NGOs” describes the increasing professionalization of humanitarian non-governmental organizations (often also called non-profit organizations). It shows how powerful convictions and modern corporate management, how mission and management combine to create effective and successful action – especially and above all in humanitarian crises and disasters.
Our article “Non-Profit Branding” deals with precisely this increasing professionalization in the area of branding. Whereas NGOs used to define themselves based on the self-image of their social commitment, which did not need to further justify their right to exist, today they are thinking about a stronger market orientation and a self-image that can be communicated. After products, goods and services, market and branding has arrived at cultural and social benefits. Non-profit branding – brand management in non-profit organizations – has become the latest marketing discipline.
The 18 contributions come together – quite critically and self-critically – to form an up-to-date overall picture of the strategic management of humanitarian NGOs
A NEW ATTITUDE FOR THE SUPPLYING INDUSTRY
The German automotive and supplier industry will finally change now. The reason for this, of all things, is the consumption and emission problems of internal combustion engines. At the upcoming IAA 2017, concept vehicles from the supplier industry will be presented, which should take into account the forecast growth rates of over 100 percent for the new technology. Nevertheless, there are growing concerns as to whether the German automotive industry will be able to cope with the change. Much too late, the company jumped on the electromobility train. Displeasure, irritation and fears shape the landscape.
GROWING WITH A SYSTEM
"The change from a product to a system provider holds great potential for companies."

THE BRAND AS A RELATIONSHIP TOOL
One result of this year's study among our customers provided a particularly interesting finding. The respondents stated that the most important characteristics of a brand are credibility and a high level of differentiation. Not really new. But: The greatest challenges lie in the development of brand values and differentiating positioning.
FROM THE INSIDE TO THE OUTSIDE
Even non-profit organizations (NPO) now have to convince the population of their right to exist. Regardless of their size, they need a brand that defines their own understanding of values and makes their services clear. Determining what you stand for is an important process that cannot be outsourced.

THE BRAND AS GUIDING FIGURE - SERVICES NEED A STRATEGICPLAN.
In comparison to consumer goods brands, it is much more difficult for services brands to establish themselves with their profile and positioning in the consciousness of consumers. There is only one services brand among the TOP 10 of the most valuable brands in Germany, SAP. Still, a McKinsey study shows that service brands are on the rise. Not only the number of service brands in Germany, but also the relevance of the brand in the decision-making processes of customers has been increasing continuously since 2006. Brands serve customers as anchors of trust and have an orientation role, thus enabling growth potential for the service industry.
