The Brand Value Circles. A toolkit for Sustainable Brand Innovation
The Brand Value Circles is a toolkit that helps anyone who wants to challenge the status quo and work towards a more sustainable and regenerative world. It guides the user from A to Z with the aim of creating true Sustainable Brands.

How the toolkit works
The toolkit includes exercises that support the different parts of the journey, from initial idea to engagement. The exercises are grouped into canvases. In total, there are 15 canvases organized into three interconnected circles: Imagine, Create, and Engage.
Brand Value Circles are designed to support the development of:
-
A rich Value Proposition
-
A Sustainable Business Model Canvas
-
An engaging Brand and Message Strategy
The arrows within and between the circles symbolize the iterative nature of the process, where answers from one tool can inform and supplement others, and in between assumptions and ideas are tested and validated.

DISCLAIMER: A true Sustainable Brand should be understood as genuine, in the sense of being truthful, i.e. not promising more than can be keept, while at the same time doing an effort to transform both business operations and customer expectations through rising the bar. Sustainability is relative. Some products, services or behaviours can be more sustainable than others, but to be absolutely sustainable, a company must not contribute to consuming more of the earth's resources than it can regenerate - and still it might not be 100% sufficient. Sustainability is more than the environment. The transformation to a Circular Economy as embraced by the definition, is just one step on the way. There are many more steps to be taken, of which we are far from knowing all yet or even which way to walk. But this only makes the path even more exciting.
