50 biggest companies disclosed their Annual Reports. 13 of them published the results of 2017 financial year (FY), 36 - the results of 2016 FY, and one - the results of 2014 FY. 41 companies communicated on CSR. Out of 9 companies without a CSR report, 6 are related to financial industry (banking, investment, stock exchange, e-payment), 2 - to retail (retail, e-commerce), 1 - to arms production.

Pie chart 1 - Brazilian companies without a CSR report

50% of Brazilian firms on the list are working in industries, which bring the most harm to the environment: oil & gas, chemical, iron & steel, electricity & power generation, mining, construction etc. They are obliged to follow a series of eco-legislations, but, moreover, try to do extra for nature and the community. However, it can also be classed this as “greenwashing”.

B1 Companies are numerated for convenience - “Vale” In more detail: http://www.vale.com

“Vale” publishes a separate sustainability report, which showcases company's commitment to compensate its impact on the environment.

In 2017 “Vale” went through environmental licensing procedure and developed an Environmental Manual. Company's environmental compensation included:

· Spending approximately US$ 130 million on the program;

· Creating 19 Private Reserves of Natural Patrimony;

· Planting more that 140 thousand seeding;

· Preserving 5 km2 of Archaeological Heritage;

· Restoring 13 km2 of Atlantic Forest areas;

· Creating a 200 km2 National Park.

B2 - “Petrobras” In more detail: http://www.petrobras.com.br/en/

The company decreases its impact on eco-system through reducing hazardous solid waste, wastewater and GHG emissions. It also implements certain technological procedures, which help with cutting the number of leaks and saving some fauna and flora.

B3 - “Electrobras” In more detail: http://eletrobras.com/Paginas/default.aspx

The company applies an environmental management system (based on Environmental Policy and supervised by Environmental committee) to keep track of how their business affects the environment. They reduce water, energy, power consumption, and GHG emissions.

Picture 3 - “Electrobras” Sox and Nox emissions Source: “Electrobras” Annual Report 2016

Moreover, in 2012 “Electrobras” made a public commitment to transition to low-carbon, “green” economy. The company identifies the risks concerning climate change and adopts measures to minimize them.

B4 - “Ultrapar Participacoes” In more detail: http://www.ultra.com.br

All brands of the conglomerate implement similar practices of eco-efficiency: they reduce water, energy, and power consumption.

Company's eco-efficient Service Stations use LED illumination, natural light, window film and harvest rainwater. They are also transitioning to only working with sustainable firms and provide advisory services for their partners on how to become eco-efficient.

B5 - “Braskem” In more detail: https://www.braskem.com.br

The company released a Manifesto on Climate Change. They are committed to reducing GHG emissions by applying modern technologies, using renewable raw materials, and promoting the development of “green” brands. “Braskem” also stresses that the government should prioritize sustainable business initiatives and tighten environmental legislations.

B6 - “JBS” In more detail: https://jbs.com.br/en/

A quarter of company's Annual Report is dedicated to its impact on nature. “JBS” implements best practices in animal welfare and makes them the key of its business strategy. The company also focuses on using renewable or biodegradable packaging materials. It promotes reforestation, optimizes logistics to reduce travel distances, and improves its energy and water efficiency.

Every year “JBS” expands its transparency policy and participates in global environmental initiatives.

B7 - “BRF” In more detail: https://www.brf-global.com

The company has an entire section on corporate responsibility on its website, the majority of which is dedicated to nature preservation. They implemented an Environmental Policy, which is aimed to carry out a consistent evaluation of ecological footprint and prioritize eco-efficiency; and a “BRF Volunteer program” for employees, so they can promote the importance of recycling and thoughtful consumption to the community.

“BRF” is concerned about climate change and adopted biomass-driven boilers to reduce GHG emissions. On top of that, the company decreases the consumption of water and energy. 93,2% of electricity was renewable in 2016.

The banking system plays one of the main roles in social and economical development of the nation. It can create jobs, encourage entrepreneurs, support businesses, but it can also have a negative footprint on the environment, such as waste generation and CO2 emissions. This is which mitigation commitment some Brazilian banks are taking.

B8 - “Banco do Brasil” In more detail: http://www.bb.com.br/pbb/

The bank has an Environmental Management System (EMS), which organizes and controls environmental footprint of the organization. It coordinates Eco-efficiency program (rational water, energy, and paper consumption, selective waste management, cartridge and toner reconditioning) and sets of “green” IT initiatives.

The bank stresses that it operates under Environmental Guidelines (forest and biodiversity, water, climate change, electric power, mining, transportation etc.) It also supports “ABC program” on GHG emission reduction and combating deforestation.

B9 - “Itau Unibanco Holding” In more detail: https://www.itau.com.br

Brazil's largest bank is deeply concerned about nature preservation and heavily promotes its eco-activities to the public. 10% of their Annual Report is dedicated to the ways the bank reduces its bad impact on the environment through cutting energy, water, paper, and electricity consumption, as well as setting even more ambitious eco-goals for the future.

Picture 4 - “Itau Unibanco Holding” eco-performance Source: “Itau Unibanco Holding” Annual Report 2017

The bank also donates 30% of their management fees to support 9 projects developing initiatives, related to forest restoration, waste management, sustainable agriculture, and climate change.

Another indicator of bank's “green” branding is their special “Environmental & Social Form”, which both private and corporate clients have to fill out in order to be approved to get a loan from “Itau Unibanco Holding”. However, few sectors are restricted from credit granting: extraction of woods from native forests, fishing, slaughterhouses, and manufacturing of firearms.

B10 - “Banco Bradesco” In more detail: https://banco.bradesco

The bank has a separate website dedicated to its sustainability policy, which includes contribution to society's ecological and social needs. “Bradesco” is making its transition to “green”, low-carbon economy. They created an eco-efficiency plan on water, electricity, paper usage, and greenhouse gas emissions reduction. The bank has been participating in “Carbon Disclosure Project” about climate change since 2008. They also launched a number of environmental products to decrease their indirect impact on nature.

Picture 5 - “Banco Bradesco” environmental products Source: “Banco Bradesko” Annual Report 2017

Reviewed companies implement “green brands” strategy in their business agendas, which creates real additional value to their customers. It is more noticeable in food processing and banking industries, even though the latter is not obliged to commit to specific environmental legislations. Harmful industries, however, give back to nature far less, than they take.

Overall, Brazilian companies set very high standards in communicating on CSR. The majority of firms are trying to make a positive impact on the environment, as well as invest in their future through being “green”. Jay Levinson and Shel Horowitz stressed in their study that being eco-friendly is very profitable for a company in a long run. In more detail: J. Levinson, S. Horowitz “Guerrilla marketing goes “green”: winning strategies to improve your profits and your planet”

R5 - “Rosseti” In more detail: www.rosseti.ru/

The company considers minimizing negative impact on ecology to be a significant part of its business. Company's Ecological policy includes increasing the number of eco-cars in their motor pool, recycling transformer oil, setting 15 000 bird-protecting devices. “Rosseti” is also planning to construct transmission lines above tree canopy to minimize deforestation.

The company spent 457 million rubles on nature preserving activities in 2016.

R6 - “Inter RAO” In more detail: https://www.interrao.ru/

The company publishes a separate report on ecological responsibility. Among the standard activities on waste management, the reduction of water and energy consumption, “Inter RAO” also combats noise pollution and performs the withdrawing of old ecologically ineffective equipment.

The company spent 2 billion rubles on the environment in 2016.

R7 - “Sberbank” In more detail: https://www.sberbank.ru/

Company's ecological impact management is based on minimizing negative influence on the environment. Their “green office” concept is a representation of “green brands” strategy: LED lamps, motion sensors, eco-efficient office equipment, electronic workflow instead of paper, contactless tap to reduce water consumption. On top of that, “Sberbank” tries to provide eco-efficiency of their buildings.

R8 - “Bank VTB” In more detail: https://www.vtb.ru/

The bank reduces the proportion of old properties and moves their offices to eco-efficient business-centres. Bank's motor pool is being modernized to higher eco-class cars. And the main environmental activities include switching to eco-saving lights, cutting excess water and power consumption.

R9 - “Magnit” In more detail: http://magnit-info.ru

“Magnit” has an Ecological policy, which is integrated in company's business activity. Apart from recycling, the eco-efficiency of resources, and waste management, the company promotes “green” lifestyle among its employees. Workers often participate in projects aimed at nature preservation and receive ecological education from company's management.

R10 - “X5 Retail Group” In more detail: https://www.x5.ru/

“X5 Retail Group” stresses that environmental care is not just a part of their CSR, but an opportunity to improve business practices. In 2017 the company launched a project to reduce the cost of garbage collection and an Energy Consumption Accounting System. Company's transportation division is used to transport plastic, cardboard and other domestic waste for recycling. One of the most significant eco-initiative is switching to new higher eco-class trucks and their regular maintenance in order to increase efficiency and reduce harmful emissions.

Russian companies willingly communicate on their sustainable marketing activities. However, the majority of those are connected with compensating for enormous ecological harm. It may be difficult for the consumers to associate oil & gas or power generation industries with “green” brands; and it is certainly questionable whether such companies' ecological initiatives actually contribute to people's wellbeing or promote eco-friendly life-style.

Nevertheless, firms from non-harming industries, whose environmental sustainability revolves around minimizing potential negative impact, make up some interesting projects and receive customers' approval and loyalty. They create that extra “green” value for people and are associated with ecological concerns.

I9 - “HDFC Bank” In more detail: https://www.hdfcbank.com/

Nevertheless, “HDFC” tries to make its clients' experience the most comfortable, while striving to create a sustainable ecosystem through encouraging recycling, using modern power sources and preserving water and energy.

I10 - “Bharti Airtel” In more detail: https://www.airtel.in/

The company releases a separate business responsibility report and discloses relevant information on company's eco-activities. Protection of the environment is integrated into corporate policy. This principle stresses that the company must respect, protect, and restore ecology. “Bharti Airtel” optimizes its energy consumption, controls its GHG emissions, and switches to modern technologies, such as “green” mobile towers, which consume less power.

Overall, it is obvious that Indian companies are not keen on disclosing information about their environmental activities. Almost 50% of Top-50 firms do not communicate on environmental responsibility. As it has been mentioned in the previous chapter, Indian government is desperately trying to solve county's ecological problems through promoting “green” life-style among the population, encouraging businesses to take environmental actions, and implementing eco-legislations. However, none of the methods are proving to be effective, even though India reaches out for help to foreign countries, which have successfully integrated “green” attitude into their lives.

C7 - “China State Construction Engineering” In more detail: http://english.cscec.com

As the largest construction conglomerate in the country, the company integrated eco-concepts in its work, which are published on the website.

1. “Green” design: pollution and energy consumption reduction, materials recycling throughout the life cycle of buildings.

2. “Green” procurement: company's suppliers are environmentally evaluated and certified.

3. “Green” construction: low-carbon economy, environmentally educated employees, and eco-friendly technologies.

4. “Green” office: the application of eco-efficient concepts and minimalistic design in their office facilities.

C8 - “Ping An Insurance Group” In more detail: http://www.pingan.cn/en/index.shtml

The company releases a separate CSR report.

“Ping An Insurance Group” is a low-pollution and low-energy consumption company. However, it applies environmental managing technologies to its work. Company's main focus is to create “green office” spaces for its employees, educate them on ecological awareness, and encourage them to become “greener”. “Green” finance principles are also integrated into company's work.

To conclude, half of China's largest companies heavily invest time, money and resources into contributing to the community and the environment. The other half, on the contrary, does not communicate on CSR. The reason for this could be government's strict environmental legislations, whose fulfillment seems to be enough for some organizations.

Reviewed Chinese companies' “green brands” genuinely create the additional eco-value for their consumers. On top of that, they evoke the desire to become “greener” in customers, reflecting a successful implementation of eco-marketing.

Chapter 3. Results

3.1 Statistics review

Several tendencies were discovered over the course of the study.

1. 50 Brazilian, Indian, and Chinese largest companies publish their Annual Reports in a timely manner. 49 Russian largest companies publish their Annual Reports, 1 company releases its brief financial results.

2. 45, 41, 26, and 25 companies from Russia, Brazil, India, and China respectfully communicate on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of GRI 3.1 or GRI 4.0 standard. Russia and Brazil have a high 90% and an 82% rate of disclosure on CSR. India and China have a rather low 52% and a 50% rate of disclosure on CSR.

3. 54% of Russian firms work in harmful to the environment industries, such as oil & gas, chemical & petrochemical, iron & steel, non-ferrous metals, electricity & power generation, mining, and construction. 50% of Brazilian firms work in harmful to the environment industries. 40% of Indian firms work in harmful to the environment industries. 26% of Chinese firms work in harmful to the environment industries.

Diagram 1 - The percentage of firms working in harmful industries

4. 49% of companies, which work in financial sector (banking, investment, insurance) across BRIC countries, do not communicate on CSR.

5. 53% of retailers (retail, e-commerce) across BRIC countries do not communicate on CSR.

The more companies there are in a country working in harmful industries, the higher is country's ecological CSR disclosure ratio. Companies from non-harmful industries communicate on CSR in half of the cases.

3.2. “Green brands” strategy review

The way that a company implements environmental marketing into its business agenda depends on the country, specific legislations, the industry, and the size of the organization.

Based on Russian companies' deep integration into nature-harming industries, firms' eco-actions revolve around compensating for damage caused. Brazilian and Indian companies are concerned about their environmental credentials, as nature in their countries is being destroyed by unsustainable businesses. Therefore they apply the principles of eco-efficiency to both their manufacturing and office work. Chinese companies have to follow tight government ecological legislations, so half of them do not feel like they have to “go the extra mile”. However, the other half tries to find ways to stand out and initiates dozens of programs on natural preservation.

It is crucial to stress out once again that “green” marketing is an evolved version of standard marketing; and “green” branding is a part of sustainable marketing. Therefore, company's usage of the “green brands” strategy is a modern display of competitive advantage on the market, especially when it comes to competing on such large markets, as BRIC countries.

This research study has demonstrated that “green” brands help reviewed companies to show their superiority in the marketplace, receive consumers' loyalty through creating additional eco-value, and, consequently, generate higher success. Otherwise, these companies would not have made it to the tops of international and in-countries ratings.

Conclusion

Summarizing the work that has been undertaken, it is important to note that the goal of the study has been achieved through the accomplishment set tasks, namely:

· The evolutionary process of marketing has been studied;

· The peculiarities of eco-friendly marketing and branding have been studied;

· The differences between BRIC countries attitude towards “green” brands have been identified by the means of PESTEL-analysis;

· Top-50 largest companies in each country have been reviewed on the grounds of Corporate Social Responsibility;

· 10 companies in each country have been reviewed on particular “green” marketing activities;

· The statistics has been described, the tendencies have been identified;

· The differences between BRIC companies' usage of “green brands” marketing strategy have been concluded.

The main hypothesis that large companies communicate on ecological Corporate Social Responsibility, which contributes to their “green” image, was partially confirmed. As it turned out, large companies, which disclose their “green” activities, are primarily involved in nature-harming industries. Although, half of the companies in non-harmful industries across BRIC countries communicate on ecological CSR in order to enhance their eco-friendly image among customers and competitors. The other half does not disclose ecological CSR reports.

In conclusion, it is crucial to state the most valuable points of this study.

Sustainable marketing is an example of marketing that meets the requirements of a modern world. It should be implemented by every company, which strives to become or remain successful in the marketplace. “Green” marketing not only benefits an organization in a long-term perspective, but also serves much greater purpose, which is preserving the environment for the future generations. Time, when business was only about gaining profit by any means, has passed. Nowadays, consumers are willing to invest their loyalty in conscious companies, which provide better quality products and services, while promoting ecological awareness.

“Green” brands stand out among ordinary ones with a unique selling point. Their value proposition revolves around environmental concerns, eco-efficiency, or the usage of natural raw materials and non-harmful production technologies. “Green” brands reach out to customers' emotions on contributing to the fate of nature with their actions.

With regard to empirical research on companies' usage of the “green brands” strategy on the markets of Brazil, Russia, India, and China, it is worth mentioning that, even though companies have somewhat different reasons behind the implementation of eco-marketing practices into their work, they realize the link between sustainable marketing and higher profit.

However, there is an unpleasant trend among companies, which work in harmful to the environment industries across BRIC countries. They only apply “green” marketing as a cover for enormous ecological damage caused.

On the contrary, some companies in the industries, which do not harm nature, still advocate environmental awareness through their brands.

Lastly, one should mention that “green” marketing is a relatively new scientific sphere, therefore it lacks theoretical framework. This research paper can make a contribution towards encouraging future, more in-depth research on the matter.
