From Charity Action to Brand Value: How FUSH Reshapes Corporate Social Responsibility Through Donation Services

Résumé : In today’s society, the way companies participate in charity is no longer limited to the traditional donation model. Clothing manufacturer FUSH has demonstrated innovative practices of corporate social responsibility through donation services. This article will explore from 10 perspectives how FUSH’s charity actions can be combined with its product characteristics to bring a win-win situation for corporate brands and society. By analyzing two charity events supported by FUSH – the “Potpiši Prodiši” clean air campaign and the Belgrade Marathon “Bez Barijera” initiative, it reveals how companies can enhance brand influence, enhance customer trust, and promote sustainable development through charity actions.

1. Charity Innovation: From Donation to Donation Services

Traditional charity is mainly based on financial donations, while FUSH chose to donate clothing products and services, reflecting the flexible use of corporate resources. For example, providing customized T-shirts for the “Potpiši Prodiši” and “Bez Barijera” events not only met the needs of the events, but also strengthened brand exposure.

Argumentaire : Donating goods or services can solve social problems more directly, while reducing resource loss in the middle.

2. Combination of environmental protection concept and product characteristics

FUSH supports the “Potpiši Prodiši” clean air campaign, which is highly consistent with its own environmental protection goals. The company plans to achieve 100% solar power supply, and the charity event further highlights its commitment to sustainable development.

Argumentaire : When corporate charity actions are linked to core business, they can more effectively convey brand values.

3. Raising public environmental awareness

The three key points of the “Potpiši Prodiši” campaign (banning raw lignite, combating the black market, and raising environmental awareness) are consistent with FUSH’s environmentally friendly product concept. Through participation, FUSH indirectly educates consumers to pay attention to environmental issues.

Argumentaire : Research shows that consumers are more inclined to support brands with environmental awareness.

4. Supporting people with disabilities: Barrier-free sports

Argumentaire : Inclusive charity projects can expand corporate influence and attract diverse customer groups.

5. Cooperate with large IPs to expand brand exposure

FUSH cooperates with the Belgrade Marathon, Guerrilla and Red Star Football Club to increase brand awareness through large-scale events. Referees and players wear T-shirts printed with “Bez Barijera”, which invisibly brings advertising effects to FUSH.

Argumentaire : The combination of sports events and charity can significantly increase brand exposure.

6. Charity marketing: low cost and high return

The cost of donating T-shirts is much lower than traditional advertising, but through the media dissemination of charity activities, FUSH has gained a higher brand reputation.

Argumentaire : The ROI (return on investment) of charity marketing is usually higher than that of pure commercial advertising.

7. Enhance employee identity

Participating in charity can enhance employees’ sense of belonging and pride. FUSH’s donation action makes employees feel the company’s emphasis on social responsibility.

8. Establish long-term partnerships

Through cooperation with charity organizations and sports institutions, FUSH has accumulated high-quality social resources and laid the foundation for more cooperation in the future.

Argumentaire : Long-term charity partnerships can bring stable brand value-added.

9. Differentiated competition strategy

In the clothing industry, FUSH distinguishes itself from its competitors through charity actions and shapes the image of a “warm brand”.

Argumentaire : Consumers are more willing to pay for brands with social value.

10. Charity actions promote product innovation
