How luxury brands can manage corporate reputation and ESG risks

October 27, 2022

More than most sectors, luxury businesses stand or fall on perceptions of their brand.

Anything that taints those perceptions can cause customers to lose faith and the brand to lose value.

In our social media age, adverse publicity can travel fast and make it difficult to regain control.

It’s a concern that’s rising up the corporate agenda. In our recent Reputational Risk Readiness survey, which included luxury retailers, 83% said reputation was in the top five in their risk register.
