In 2023, achieving sustainability goals is one of the biggest determinants of a brand’s success. Businesses are facing the demand to meet global regulations, the need to implement meaningful sustainability strategies and appeal to ethically conscious consumers, all while remaining commercially competitive.
So, as globalisation increases, how can brands expand their sustainability impact worldwide? Can the role of PR and communications raise the benchmark for social responsibility? And how do businesses make a mark amidst economic and political disruptions?
On 26th May at 12 pm GMT, we’ll be co-hosting a virtual panel event with sister company The Work Crowd on Sustainability Made International: How Brands Can Drive Global Impact.
Chaired by Alice Weightman, CEO at Hanson Search and co-founder of The Work Crowd, our panel of experts will include Ryan Menezies, Associate Director and Head of Sustainability at Coreus Group; Iain Patton, Director and Strategic Communications Consultant at Ethical Team PR, and Edurne Gil de San Vicente, Sustainability and Program Director at Water Alliance UAE.
Join us to discuss:
- ways brands can amplify their global impact, individually and collectively
- ‘green-washing’ and ‘greenhushing’, and tackling scrutiny
- sustainability’s commercial impact
- How global initiatives like B Corps could make a difference
- setting, measuring and achieving sustainability targets in 2023
