"We are honoured to have won the 2008/2009 Emerald/EMRBI Business Research Award for Young Researchers. It is an important first milestone of achievements in our new academic career. The paper is about ‘building brand equity with societal communication’. It is the first one of a long series of research projects regarding societal communication and ‘greenwashing’. We are proud that this paper gains visibility as we are convinced topics related to sustainability are of major importance nowadays. We would like to thank the Institute of Research in Management from the University of Créteil (France), and specifically the ANR program entitled ‘Regulatory Potential of CSR’ for their financial support. We also gratefully thank Emerald Group Publishing Limited, as well as EMJB Editor, Professor Demetris Vrontis for his involvement in the selection process.”
