Branded outlines the ability of NGOs to affect corporate markets. It shows how the development of certification systems for corporate social and environmental practices has created some intriguing questions: * Why are retail giants paying premiums for ethically-produced products and not overcharging their customers? * How have NGOs gained such power and credibility? * What are the challenges of these new modes of corporate accountability for both NGOs and corporations? * What are the unexpected opportunities for newly accountable corporations? Branded! is a "must-read" book for corporate executives, NGOs and concerned consumers. It is rich with vignettes of firms, NGOs, campaigns, failures, successes, memorable personalities and hard-fought battles.
