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?

Response Workshops


Workshop 1

Lessons Learned in Designing and Implementing Climate Strategy

The workshop will provide a series of insights from case studies working with companies on how to assess their value-at-stake under carbon constraints, including the key regulatory, market, and reputation drivers. It will explore successful organizational approaches to managing carbon issues and ensuring that there is a sustained approach to managing the issue over time. (Corporates only)

Workshop Leader: ICF Consulting

 

Workshop 2

Engaging Employees in Climate Change

This will involve looking at why it is important to involve employees in making changes if companies really want to make a difference.  Delegates can expect to hear about the techniques we use to engage employees, and the results we have had to date.

Workshop Leader: Global Action Plan
