This paper reviews extant literature on three brand attributes namely brand awareness, image, and identity; and their role in fostering companies' sustainability agenda. It discusses the intricacies of creating sustainable brand awareness, whilst juxtaposing the often neglected, yet controversial, pillars of sustainability. A conceptual framework, showing the three main elements of sustainability and their link to business performance, is also presented. The dual concepts of green marketing and green branding, as sustainability-driven concepts, were highlighted including some of the benefits firms enjoy from adopting sustainable business practices. While managerial challenges and implications of sustainable brand management were carefully considered, the paper did not entirely focus on issues faced by global brand managers. Nevertheless, achieving sustainable brand management requires challenging the status quo, dismantling existing models, and overhauling the culture of an organisation.
