EthicMark® goals and criteria raise the ethical bar: showcasing communications which reinforce healthy lifestyles and behaviors for consumers, youth and community. The product AND the company or organization must meet high standards of truth, integrity, responsibility, transparency and fairness, while respecting diversity and refraining from greenwashing, instilling fear or misusing brain science.
Hazel Henderson says “Advertising drives media content—often mis-educating and misleading public opinion and choices. The EthicMark® Awards call markets to higher standards. Today, we all live in mediocracies and their attention economies, whatever our form of governance. Truth and trust are vital to all markets and societies.” Henderson founded the awards, as a “carrot rather than a stick” with Rinaldo Brutoco, President, World Business Academy, our co-sponsor.
The 2019 EthicMark® Awards winners will be announced at the 30th annual SRI Conference on Sustainable, Responsible, Impact Investing, November 13-15, 2019, The Broadmoor, Colorado Springs. The EthicMark® Awards, are a service of Ethical Markets Media; co-sponsored by the SRI Conference; the World Business Academy; ESPM, Brazil’s premier college for communication and marketing; GlobeScan; TBLI; Sustainable Brands; and Goodvertising.
