Meaningful Brands is the first global analytical framework to connect human well-being with brands at a business level. It measures the benefits brands bring to our lives. It’s unique in both scale – 700 brands, over 134,000 consumers, 23 countries - and scope. It measures the impact of the brand’s benefits alongside its impact on 12 different areas of well-being (such as health, happiness, financial, relationships and community among others) for a full view of its effect on our quality of life.

Global findings

• The Meaningful Brands Index outperforms the stock markets by 120% - an out performance on par with the top hedge funds.
• The majority of people worldwide wouldn't care if 73% of brands disappeared tomorrow.
• Only 20% of brands worldwide are seen to meaningfully positively impact people's lives.

Market findings Germany

• In Europe, this disconnection is higher: people would not care if 93% of brands disappeared and only 5% of brands contribute notably to improve people’s quality of life.
• Unmet expectations and a general sense of disillusion can explain this:
• In Germany, 71% of people agree that large companies should be actively involved in solving social / environmental problems
• 62% think that companies and brands should play a role in improving our quality of life and well-being.
• Only 22% think that brands work hard at improving our quality of life and well-being.
• Just 23% of Germans generally trust brands – an absolute low compared to the 41% European average or the 45% Global average.
• Brands need to radically reinvent themselves to reconnect with people, play an important part in people’s lives and avoid getting commoditized.
• Meaningfulness varies across categories: In Germany, Retailers, Consumer Goods producers and car manufacturers are the best valued; whereas Finance & Insurance, ITC and Oil & Energy brands are usually at the bottom of the list.

Sector and brand findings Germany

• Germany’s Top 3 Meaningful Brands are DM, Nivea and Lego.
• A brand that is greatly improving its MB index is Lego.
• Other growing brands are RWE and Telekom.
• Brands relating to consumers – especially retailers, local car makers, toy producers and cosmetics companies are seen as being more meaningful than other sectors. 
• At a time when overall life satisfaction in Germany is substantially higher than in much of the developed world, brands need to make a difference to stand out – enriching consumers’ well-being and advancing collective outcomes.
