Findings: The research conducted demonstrates that sustainable brands who promote this
concept of anti-consumerism can enhance their brand resonance by adhering to the Sustainable
Brand Stewardship Model.
Contribution: This paper is one of the few to show the connection between sustainable
fashion/anti-consumerism and brand resonance. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, the
creation of our Sustainable Brand Stewardship Model is also the first conceptualization of what
constitutes a sustainable brand and how a brand may enhance its brand resonance with no other
similar models created before this study. (Less)
