Q
[:es]¿Por qué es importante el concepto de sostenibilidad para las marcas de lujo?[:en]Why is the concept of sustainability so important for luxury brands?[:]
A
[:es]Multitud de marcas en todo tipo de industrias se han dado cuenta de que la sostenibilidad es algo que los consumidores dan por sentado. La diferencia es que hoy en día ya no son solo las ONG y los gobiernos los que están impulsando un impacto social, económico y medioambiental positivo, sino que muchos consumidores de diferentes generaciones, regiones y sectores de la sociedad están alzando la voz. La sostenibilidad ya no es una opción; un informe reciente de J. Walter Thompson Intelligence mostró que el 90% de las personas creen que las empresas y las marcas tienen la responsabilidad de cuidar el planeta y a sus habitantes.[:en]Brands across all types of industries have realised that sustainability is now an expectation. What is different today from just a few years ago is that it is no longer just NGOs and governments pushing for positive social, economic and environmental impact – voices are growing louder from consumers of all generations, geographies and segments of society. Sustainability is now an expectation – a recent report by J. Walter Thompson Intelligence showed that 90% of people believe companies and brands have a responsibility to take care of the planet and its people.[:]

[:es]¿Y en este contexto cuál es su papel?[:en]And where exactly do you come in?[:]

[:es]Siempre me ha apasionado establecer conexiones. Mi especialidad es unir marcas de lujo con personas a las que les preocupa el futuro. A la hora de establecer este tipo de conexiones, Positive Luxury cuenta con formas de examinar el compromiso de una marca con la sostenibilidad para garantizar que cumple con los máximos de innovación, gobernanza, inversión en la comunidad y rendimiento social y medio ambiente. Se trata de mucho más que cumplimiento; las marcas necesitan ir más allá de requisitos mínimos.[:en]I have always been passionate about making connections – in another life I might have been a matchmaker. Instead, I specialise in connecting luxury brands with other people out there who care about the future. In establishing these connections, Positive Luxury has all sorts of ways to examine a brand’s commitment to sustainability in order to ensure they meet the highest standards of innovation, governance, community investment and social and environmental performance. And it’s about far more than just compliance – brands need to go over and beyond the mínimum requirements.[:]
