Getting beyond sustainability reporting
Disclosing and communicating your climate change action is an opportunity to maximize the benefits of the response. But basically everybody produces a sustainability report whether they have green credentials or not. In this session we will examine the best climate change communication campaigns – who to target, how to get beyond the sustainability report and how to incorporate climate change response as part of your overall communications strategy.
-- How do you communicate beyond the sustainability report?
-- How do you mainstream your green credentials?
Chair: Tim Purcell, Chief Executive Officer
