连续十七年发布的《世界品牌500强》(The World's 500 Most Influential Brands)，其评判依据是品牌的世界影响力。所谓品牌影响力(Brand Influence)，是指品牌开拓市场、占领市场并获得利润的能力。按照品牌影响力的三项关键指标，即市场占有率(Market Share)、品牌忠诚度(Brand Loyalty)和全球领导力(Global Leadership)，世界品牌实验室对全球约15000个知名品牌进行了综合评分，最终推出了世界最具影响力的500个品牌。

Based on global influence, World Brand Lab’sWorld’s 500 Most Influential Brands listing is in its 17th consecutive year. Brand influence refers to the ability of a brand to enter a market, capture market shares and earn profits. Following three key indicators of brand influence, namely market share, brand loyalty and global leadership, World Brand Lab tracked more than 15,000 leadingbrands around the globe and to pioneer the World’s 500 Most Influential Brands list.

2020年《世界品牌500强》排行榜入选国家共计30个。从品牌数量的国家分布看，美国占据500强中的204席，依然以较大优势占据保持世界品牌第一强国位置；法国、日本、中国和英国分别有45个、44个、43个和40个品牌上榜，是世界品牌大国的第二阵营；德国、瑞士和意大利是品牌大国的第三阵营，分别有27个、18个和15个品牌入选。由此可见，即使受疫情影响欧洲经济出现历史性衰退，但欧洲国家的超级品牌依然坚挺。

The 2020 World’s 500 Most Influential Brands list includes brands from 30 countries. Judging bybrand distribution, the United States represents 204 out of the top 500, retaining its position as the global brand superpower. France, Japan, China and the UK boast 45, 44, 43 and 40 brands, respectively, to establish a strong footing as the second camp among across the globe. Germany, Switzerland and Italy make upthe third tier of brand powerhouses, with 27, 18 and 15 selected brands, respectively. This shows that even if the European economy has experienced a historic recession due to the pandemic, the super brands in European countries are still strong.

今年《世界品牌500强》共覆盖了50个行业。其中，汽车与零件行业共有35个品牌入榜，排名继续保持第一;食品与饮料行业今年有32个品牌上榜，排名第二；传媒行业受到印刷媒体不景气的影响，相比去年减少了2个，今年共有28个品牌上榜，和能源行业并列第三。其他入选数量排名靠前的行业有互联网（24个）和零售（23个），分别位列第五和第六。

A total of 42 brands are new to the list this year. Among the new brands on the list, the highest-ranked is T-Mobile from Germany, in the 213th position. T-Mobile boasts109 million users worldwide.

Brands in the food and beverage industry earned the title foroldest brands, contributing28 brands over the age of 100.

世界品牌实验室和超级财经(Superfinance)的联合团队研究发现，品牌价值和ESG绩效关联。对此，即将出席12月22日举行的世界经理人峰会暨世界品牌500强发布会的哈佛商学院工商管理教授乔治·塞拉芬（George Serafeim）认为，“以前很少有投资者关注环境、社会和治理(ESG)数据，包括公司的碳足迹、产品安全、劳动政策、董事会构成和其他类似主题的信息。如今，这些数据被投资者广泛使用，并日益成为许多国家、行业和公司竞争力的决定性因素。在一个越来越多地以ESG表现来评判公司和品牌的世界里，必须寻求更基本的驱动力，特别是战略，来取得真正的成果并因此获得回报。企业领导者需要一种新的管理模式，考虑将ESG因素嵌入到战略和运营中”。

The joint research team of World Brand Lab and Superfinance found a relationship between brand value and ESG performance. In this regard, George Serafeim, Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School, who will attend theWorld Executive Summitand the World’s 500 Most Influential BrandsConference on December 22, believes that, until recently, few investors paid attention to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data (information about companies’ carbon footprints, product safety, labor policies, board makeup, and other such topics). Today suchdata is widely used by investors and increasingly defining issues for the competitiveness of many countries, industries and companies. In a world that is increasingly judging companies and brands on their ESG performance, they must look to more fundamental drivers—particularly strategy—to achieve real results and be rewarded for them.?Our research points to the need for a new management paradigm for corporate leaders, one in which ESG considerations are embedded in both strategy and operations.

同样即将出席世界经理人峰会的欧洲工商管理学院营销学教授皮埃尔·尚登(Pierre Chandon)也对“品牌向善”表示关注，“世界各地的人们越来越多地要求采取有利于可持续发展的行动，并自己做出重大改变。在世界范围内，新冠疫情只会加强对可持续性的兴趣。这种转变也带来了商机。一项对36个消费类别的研究发现，在过去5年里，以可持续发展为营销理念的品牌尽管只占16%的市场份额，但增长率达到了55%。这种增长已经转化为品牌价值。事实上，近年来，品牌价值与其环境、社会和治理（ESG）表现之间的正向关联性不断增强，尤其是对于表现优异的品牌。为了在对抗全球疫情的过程中实现双赢，品牌应该借助一切可以利用的手段”。

Pierre Chandon, Chaired Professor of Marketing at INSEAD, who will also attend the World Executive Summit, also expressed his attention toward “Brands for Good”: People around the world are increasingly demanding action in favor of sustainability and making big changes themselves. Around the world, the Covid-19 pandemic has only intensified interest in sustainability. This shift has opened business opportunities. A study of 36 consumer categories found that sustainability-marketed brands have accounted for 55% of categor growth in the past five years despite representing only 16% of the market. This growth has been converted into brand value. In fact, the positive association between the value of a brand and its ESG performance has increased in recent years, especially for top performing brands. To achieve a win-win in the fight against the global pandemic, brands should draw on all available means.

世界经理人集团首席执行官、世界品牌实验室专家团成员丁海森认为，品牌不仅仅要对消费者负责, 还需要对利益相关者负责。新冠疫情已加速了消费者的价值观转变，他们不仅希望品牌为自己提供价值，而且希望品牌在ESG（环境、社会和治理）的问题上有自己的立场。品牌需要根据消费者目标的变化，转变其价值框架, 从而进行“品牌向善”方向的营销创新。自2003年开始，世界品牌实验室就对世界60个国家的8万多个主流品牌进行跟踪研究。作为全球领先的品牌咨询、研究和测评机构，世界品牌实验室(World Brand Lab)由1999年诺贝尔经济学奖得主罗伯特·蒙代尔教授(Robert Mundell)担任主席，全资附属于世界经理人集团。世界品牌实验室致力于品牌估值、品牌战略、品牌保护，专家顾问来自哈佛大学、耶鲁大学、麻省理工、牛津大学、剑桥大学等世界一流学府，其研究成果已成为许多企业并购过程中无形资产评估的重要依据。

Haisen Ding, CEO of the World Executive Group and member of the World Brand Lab expert panel, believes that brands need to be accountable not only to consumers, but also to stakeholders. Covid-19 has accelerated the shift in values among consumers who want brands not only to provide value for them, but also to take a stand on ESG (environmental, social and governance) issues. Brands need to change their value framework according to the change of consumer targets, so as to carry out marketing innovations in the direction of “Brands for Good.” Since 2003, World Brand Lab has tracked more than 80,000 major brands in 60 countries. This leading brand consulting, research and evaluation firm, is chaired by Professor Robert Mundell, the 1999 Nobel laureate in Economics, and is wholly owned by World Executive Group. World Brand Lab is dedicated to brand valuation, brand strategy, brand naming, brand design and brand protection. Its experts and consultants come from world-class universities such as Harvard University, Yale University, MIT, Oxford University and Cambridge University. World Brand Lab’s significant research findings have been applied by many enterprises as important references of intangible asset evaluation in mergers and acquisitions.
