About Superbrands ® and CoolBrands The Superbrands organisation identifies and pays tribute to exceptional brands throughout the world. The UK programme is run under license by the Academy of Chief Marketers

ABOUT SUPERBRANDS VOLUME 22

ABOUT COOLBRANDS® 2021/22

Superbrand status is awarded for quality, reliability and distinction. Only the most highly rated brands achieve this accolade.

CoolBrands® status is only given to brands that show authenticity, desirability, innovation, originality and responsibility.

To ascertain which brands are most highly regarded, a comprehensive list of more than 3,200 consumer and business-to-business brands are voted on by our independent expert panels, alongside consumers, for the Consumer Superbrands programme and business executives for the Business Superbrands programme. Votes are combined to reach a final ranking for each brand and those with the highest scores are awarded Superbrand status.

CoolBrands® is an annual initiative to identify and pay tribute to the nation’s coolest brands. Since 2001, we have been canvassing opinions to produce an annual barometer of Britain’s coolest brands. Cool is subjective and personal. Accordingly, voters are not given a definition but are asked to bear in mind the above factors, which research has shown are inherent in all CoolBrands®.

Volume 22 of the Superbrands UK publication, tells the story of many of these successful brands, exploring their history, development and achievements, showcasing why they are so well-regarded. These case studies provide valuable insights into the strategies of the brands that consumers and business professionals trust and admire.

Some brands are timeless as generation after generation falls in love with them, others are new contenders that strike just the right note. Coolness is one of those concepts that’s hard to define, and it’s also a trait that most brands would love to have, but few achieve. Even if a lot of money is spent trying to get there, the apparent effortless swagger of genuine coolness is as elusive as ever.

Superbrands, Volume 22 Research and Results Overview STEPHEN CHELIOTIS CEO, TCBA & Chair Superbrands Expert Councils

The Process Since 1995 Superbrands’ rankings have provided an overview of sentiment toward brands operating in the UK. Adopting its current methodology in 2006, the research canvasses the views of consumers, business professionals and marketing experts. This year, 3,219 brands were assessed: 1,588 business-to-business brands across 71 categories and 1,631 direct to consumer brands across 81 categories. Brands never apply to be considered, each year all the key players within each sector are evaluated to identify the most highly regarded. The business-to-business brands were assessed by an independent expert council of 26 senior business-to-business marketing leaders, alongside 2,500 UK business professionals, all with purchasing or managerial responsibility within their businesses. A nationally representative sample of 2,500 UK adults voted on the consumer brands. As a secondary, quality control mechanism, 38 leading experts on the Consumer Superbrands Council also rate the brands, with any lowly appraised effectively vetoed from attaining Superbrand status. Combining two audience’s perceptions ensures the experts’ view, typically factoring in considerations such as each brand’s purpose, positioning and distinctiveness, are combined with the opinions of prospective buyers, whose awareness and sentiment toward each brand is naturally vital. While all voters bear in mind the three criteria that must be inherent in a Superbrand when casting their votes, namely quality, reliability and distinction, the reality of a sentiment survey is that an individual’s perception will naturally be impacted by everything they have seen or heard about each given brand. Using the results to understand a brand’s equity shift requires reviewing the detailed sector data over time to uncover underlying changes in performance. A brand typically has a range within which it fluctuates in the ranking over time. This range tends to be determined by fundamentals such as the brand’s comparative physical and mental availability. Shorter-term impacts, such as levels of buzz, then influence the brand’s position within its range each year. Deviations to its medium-term range, a de-coupling of movement compared to sector patterns, or an extended period of overall and sector rank improvement or decline, reveals deeper underlying positive or negative brand equity shifts.

uk.superbrands.com

The Results While brand guardians should study the long-term sectorial data, naturally individuals are keen to explore the overall winners. In that regard, the leading Superbrands are fairly consistent. In this year’s Consumer Superbrands top 20, just five brands differ from last year. Of those, Mercedes-Benz and Microsoft re-entered the leading group by reversing last year’s trend, bouncing back almost exactly the same number of places that they fell last time. BMW, like Mercedes, are also prone to bouncing in and out of the top 20 and returned to the elite group, placing 20th. Netflix entered the top 20 for the first time, moving up four to 18th, continuing its steady rise. Google, having missed out on the top 20 in the last three years, finally regained its place having been consistently in the leading pack prior to 2018. The only arguably surprise entry in the top group was first time top 20 brand, Lindt, which rose a significant 26 places. Rolex maintains its overall top position, while LEGO takes second place, up three from last year. It is the fourth time in five years LEGO has featured in the top three. An additional data point to Superbrands, introduced a couple of years ago, is the Relevancy Index, which is based on whether consumers believe an individual brand has gained or lost relevance compared with the past. This sub-index reduces the impact of longer-term goodwill and focuses consumers’ minds on current use and momentum. Netflix takes pole position in the sub-index, with Amazon remaining second and PayPal climbing two places to third. Interestingly, Samsung retains its position in the top 20, but Apple does not feature once again. At the bottom of the scale, Debenhams was ranked last on relevancy in 1,630th alongside a plethora of retailers, tabloids – The Sun and Daily Star – as well as Pontins and Brylecreem. Almost mirroring the number of changes in the Consumer Superbrands top 20, the Business Superbrands top 20 saw most entrants retaining their position in the leading group, with just six changes. As with Consumer Superbrands, of those ‘new entrants’ many are brands that are typically close to, or dip in and out of, the leading group. These include the London Stock Exchange, up just two places from last year, as well as returners JCB, Intel and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). The two big movers, which need little explanation considering recent events, were GSK’s pharmaceutical peers, Pfizer and AstraZeneca. Unlike GSK, neither are regulars in the top group, with the former jumping an unusually huge 46 places with its British peer rising an even more impressive 100 places. The research is primarily used to identify and reaffirm the leading brands in each category to award those the title of Superbrand. Beyond that, a deeper, longer-term, sectorial look at the core index and relevancy index can reveal useful insights and provide a longitudinal view of each brand’s equity change relative to peers.

CoolBrands® status is given to brands that show authenticity, desirability, innovation, originality and responsibility

Council members individually awarded each brand a rating from 1-10 and were not allowed to score brands with which they have an association or are in competition with. Brands were sorted into categories, to help individuals evaluate brands against their peers. As this is a UK orientated project, individuals were asked to consider the brands credentials in the UK only, so whether a brand is large or well-regarded internationally was not something individuals had to consider. Cool is subjective and personal, so naturally individuals only scored brand with which they were very familiar. As the perception of what defines cool and which brands are cool varies greatly from one person to the next, the expert council were not given a tight definition of what constitutes cool. We were interested in each person’s feelings about each brand,

Of this year’s top 20 only Apple, Glastonbury and Spotify featured in the top 20 in the last iteration of the research, conducted back in 2016/17, although direct comparisons are difficult due to time and changes in the methodology as well as composition of the council and list.

The Growth of a Planet-First Approach These brands are putting climate change at the heart of the way in which they operate, bringing innovation to their sectors for a more sustainable future

With climate change now being at the top of the world’s agenda, how different do you think your brand will look in the future and how far is this from its founding principles?

STEVE AGER Chief Customer & Commercial Officer Boots UK

For over 170 years Boots UK has been proudly at the heart of communities and caring for customers. To this day, we stay true to the progressive outlook and socially responsible values with which the Boot family founded the company in 1849. A respect for the world around us has always been at the heart of our brand, and it always will be. Using innovation and forward thinking we carry this legacy forward to meet the ever-changing needs of our customers and communities. For example, in 1915 we launched our first Combined Heat and Power energy centre and have been generating our own energy to help power our Nottingham support office ever since. The 1940s saw us launch our glass, paper and card recycling initiatives, and in 1977 we created our first Social Responsibilities booklet to help further educate and inspire our staff. Fast forward to more current times, the Recycle at Boots Scheme provides our customers with a place to bring hardto-recycle beauty, health and wellness products from any brand. It’s a solution that helps the environment and rewards our customers at the same time. The scheme is now available in 700 UK stores and has seen over 500,000 products collected and recycled since its launch. That’s equal to over 15 tonnes of hard-to-recycle products. Looking ahead, as the recent COP26 conference proved, climate change is one of the most important issues of our time.

That’s why we’re supporting the British Retail Consortium Climate Action Roadmap commitment to becoming net zero carbon by 2040. We’ve made some important steps towards this with a focus on reducing waste and energy. Almost all of the energy used to run our stores is from renewable sources and last year we diverted 99.4% of waste from landfill. We’ve also pledged to halve the impact of our new ownbrand products by 2030 and we’re committed to creating one million agents of change by 2025, who will take tangible action to make more sustainable choices across both team members and customers. I’m proud to be our Executive champion for sustainability and to help Boots keep our planet, and our people, healthy. Just as we have done for 170 years.

SEAN DOYLE Chairman and CEO British Airways

The last 20 months have been the toughest in the aviation industry’s history. Despite the immense financial challenges we’ve all faced, as the industry re-builds, we’re all committed to a sustainable recovery. There is no greater priority. For years, British Airways has been an industry leader in climate action and last month we made a further commitment to put sustainability at our heart with the launch of our new BA Better World programme. BA Better World is without question, our most important journey yet. We can’t change the way we operate overnight. It will take time. And we need the support of our industry partners and effective Government policies. But we’re determined to lead the industry’s efforts to tackle climate change. We already have a track record of leadership and two years ago, as part of our parent company International Airlines Group (IAG), we committed to net zero CO2 emissions by 2050. We’ve built a roadmap and a series of short, medium and long-term initiatives to decarbonisation. In the short-term this means improving our operational efficiency and introducing carbon offset and removal projects. In January 2020 we became the first major airline to commit Image credit: CanO Water

Promotional Supplement Distributed by Academy of Chief Marketers to voluntarily offset all emissions from our domestic flights and we’re flying more fuel-efficient aircraft. In the medium to longer term, we’re investing in the development of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), zero emissions hydrogenpowered aircraft and investigating carbon capture technology. IAG was the first European airline group to commit to powering 10% of its flights with SAF by 2030 and we have a number of partnerships that will see us power some of our future flights with SAF as early as next year. We’ve been connecting Britain with the world and the world with Britain for more than 100 years, and to ensure our success for the next 100, we must do this sustainably. We’re making a long-term commitment to tomorrow and every day after that. It is our most important journey yet.

JOSH WHITE Co-Founder CanO Water

CanO Water was created by three friends from London as an alternative to plastic bottles of water. The idea was born after a trip overseas which opened our eyes to the plastic problem. Why don’t consumers have a choice? There must be a more recyclable and recycled solution for when you’re on-the-go or when you forget your reusable flask? Recognising the benefits of aluminium packaging, we created the world’s first branded can of water, a journey powered by purpose and passion. Our founding principles have always been to educate and innovate. With growing brand awareness and changing consumer perspective, we hope to root these principles at the core of everything we do. By educating consumers on products that benefit our planet we feel as if the future generations will think more carefully when purchasing. The future for us is to keep raising awareness. As a brand that was founded on helping people choose better for the planet, we will continue to create a movement of forward thinkers and achievers who will challenge brands and corporates to be truthful and deliver on their promises. Ditch the bottle and choose CanO Water. Be part of OUR solution.

PETER ROBB Marketing Director Continental Tyre Group Ltd

Sustainability has long been one of the key drivers of innovation at Continental, in particular when it comes to emission-free mobility and climate protection. We have set ourselves some ambitious goals in this respect. Four focus areas are at the heart of the action. Firstly, 100% carbon neutrality along the entire value chain. Secondly, 100% emission-free mobility and industry. Thirdly, 100% closed resource and product cycles driven by a circular economy, and fourthly, 100% responsible sourcing and business partnerships. Our goal is to be the most progressive tyre company in terms of environmental and social responsibility by the year 2030,

and this ambition applies to every single stage in the value chain. By no later than 2050, we want to produce our tyres from 100% sustainable materials.

collaboration. Innovations in digital technology will help to accelerate this, by enabling more efficient operations and supply chains to build a truly sustainable global economy.

Earlier this year, we announced that we are enabling the use of recycled PET bottles in our tyre production as of 2022. In partnership with OTIZ, we have created a new sustainable polyester yarn that will be used in the construction of tyre carcasses. Recycling is becoming increasingly important in the design, development and production of premium tyres.

Working with young people to educate them on the importance of sustainability is also critical for tackling climate change. TCS is involved in many education programs to engage younger generations in sustainability. For example, our Sustainathon problem-solving competition is open for university students in the UK to devise innovative solutions that can help corporations overcome their critical sustainability challenges. Participants are given access to masterclass webinars with leading academics to help realise their ideas, and the winners were rewarded with sustainable prizes and the opportunity to showcase their concepts at our Innovation Forum on 16th November which took place at the Design Museum in London.

In 2018, we opened the Taraxagum Lab Anklam, to research the use of Russian Dandelions as an alternative raw material source for natural rubber. Since the opening, we have released the popular Urban Taraxagum bicycle tyre, the first mass production product with Taraxagum. Although still in its development stage, Taraxagum, in the future, will be used in car and truck tyres. At the IAA in Munich this year, we debuted our Conti GreenConcept tyre. The tyre uses current and emerging technological approaches to engineer a sustainable tyre for passenger cars. The goal of our integrative and sustainable concept is to minimise the consumption of resources throughout every stage of the tyre’s value chain. Of all raw materials used in the making of the Conti GreenConcept, more than half are either from renewable sources or recycled.

YOGESH CHAUHAN Director Corporate Sustainability TCS

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is part of the Tata Group, a multinational Indian company founded in 1868 on the principles of excellence in manufacturing and customer satisfaction. TCS was founded exactly one hundred years later and has evolved to become one of the largest multinational digital services and consulting companies in the world. We are proud of our rich heritage and are conscious of the many changes that have taken place in the last half-century, especially in how businesses operate and their impact on the Earth’s natural environment. Natural disasters such as droughts, floods and heatwaves, as well as demands from the general public, have pushed climate change up the corporate agenda, with many organisations now striving to reduce their carbon footprint, improve their Environmental Social Governance (ESG) scores and meet the ambitious net zero targets of the European Green New Deal. We take climate change very seriously and have committed to becoming a net carbon zero emitter by 2030; however, we also believe sustainability is about more than meeting global emissions targets or ticking compliance boxes. Sustainability is imperative, not only for business success but to preserve the natural environment of planet Earth. We believe the best way to mitigate climate change is for business leaders to work together in a more holistic and collaborative way with governments, public sector organisations and regulators, with a clear focus on people and the planet. Although this is not an entirely different approach from the principles of positive teamwork that TCS was founded on, traditional ecosystems will need to be transformed by removing the barriers between organisations and industry sectors. Just as business leaders and stakeholders put aside their differences to work together in a coordinated approach to overcome the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, the sustainability journey will require persistent cross-industry

TCS will continue to refine its business model and mitigate environmental impact with the support of our Board and the talented people in our workforce. We are committed to providing excellent customer satisfaction as part of our brand’s principles and maintaining our focus on becoming a truly sustainable business in an effort to tackle global climate change.

NICOLA MATTHEWS Countess of Cocoa/ UKI Head of Marketing Tony’s Chocolonely

At Tony’s Chocolonely we exist to make 100% slave free the norm in chocolate. That mission means that social impact deliberately comes first for us. But, responsible farming and respect for the environment are also essential in achieving this goal. Cocoa farmers are directly affected by climate change and feel its effects drastically. A good climate also ensures better harvests, thus a better income for cocoa farmers and therefore less risk of slavery and child labour which is widespread in Ghana and Cote D’Ivoire where 60% of the world’s cocoa comes from. As a chocolate company, ultimately we are bringing more products into the world so we want to do that in the most responsible way possible. We have been carbon neutral since 2019 and are clued up on our carbon footprint. We make every effort to reduce it whilst compensating for the rest through organisations like JustDiggit, who regreen dry land in Africa, or Good Shipping who ensure all of our ocean freight is transported using CO2 neutral bio fuel. We know what causes the most emissions in our production (milk powder), what bar is the most environmentally friendly (dark almond sea salt) and the least environmentally friendly (white). We also think that the ‘cost’ of carbon emissions should be included in the cost price of a bar, so we incorporate carbon costs into our production costs. Packaging is also a big consideration for any consumer packaged goods company; we use as much recycled material as we can and maximise what is 100% recyclable. Maintaining quality, freshness and shelf-life in the food industry is more difficult (and expensive) without plastic but we are committed to removing the small amount of plastic remaining in our supply chain as soon as possible. We’re proud that Tony’s fans and stockists hold us to the highest standards when it comes to eco-friendly packaging and we look forward to seeing true innovation in this area as it’s a huge opportunity to reduce vast amounts of single use plastic from our food chains.
