Sustainability Leaders | A World 50 Group Community’s Post

Really good event that’s well worth attending if you’re able to be in Belfast on 21 March and interested in all things sustainability. Also a chance below to have your say on what you’re most interested in. V quick survey. #sustainability

Knowledge and awareness are at the start of anything. Our sustainability week builds on this understanding. We created many workshops, webinars and opportunities for exchange on sustainability for our colleagues. And it’s been great to see an increased interest: We had about 38% more participants than last year! Amongst other factors, our communication activities are starting to pay out - yet, I am looking forward to seeing even more colleagues join next year. But most importantly: I hope that those who joined, were inspired and able to take something away for their work and personal routines. #sustainability #ESDW #teamwork

🔎 Great occasion in #Stockholm to meet and learn from other Sustainability leaders in order to create a more sustainable future for your organization and for society as a whole #sustainability #leadership #ESGstrategy

*INSERT ATTENTION SEEKING HEADLINE HERE* (sorry, we used all our creativity for the carousel) As time is flying by and we are busy with our 'side hustle', our university studies, the date of the Erasmus Sustainability Days is quickly approaching. So we thought its time for a kind reminder, where we could put, the well know expression [ACTION REQUIRED❗️]. If you are interested in industry leading companies, such as PwC, Philips or ABN Amro and you would like to get the chance to connect to their colleagues, then signing up for their events via the link is just the perfect activity for you instead of scrolling through your LinkedIn feed and looking at the pompous posts of others. (we put the link to the end of the post, but here is a cute seal so you forgive us 🦭) If you want to position yourself as an antagonist to traditional companies, then we suggest you check out the programs with the World’s first Floating Farm 🐄 or with The Ocean Cleanup 🐳. Our friends at the Erasmus Sustainability Hub were so successful, that in our post we cannot even cover all the events and companies participating in the ESD, so we advise you to check out their LinkedIn page and website as well. 👀 Don’t forget, some of the events have limited spots available! https://lnkd.in/d6fhPEKG

Did you know in travel, health and beauty, the multi-ethnic consumer spends on average 25% more than any other AND diversity in advertising is 3x times more important to them (24%) than white consumers (8%)*? In celebrating the official launch of Greenpeace x Everyday Plastic's The Big Plastic Count this week, here's a breakdown of the top 3 key takeaways I shared after we screened the TBPC behind the scenes short doc, #DoGooders, as part of Enviral x Fanclub PR's 'Future of Sustainability Campaigns' event in London. 👥 1. COLLABORATION IS KEY TO EXPANDING BEYOND LIMITATIONS What expertise or capacity do you not have internally and what could a meaningful partnership look like? What is a unique offer you can make to a potential partner that addresses their needs and your goals? Who isn't in the room, and what would you need to be able to bring on the right people? By addressing capacity needs and clearly understanding your internal expertise (and gaps!), the hope is that you then start strategically growing with this represented internally, and eventually able to give them increased authority and decision-making power to bring these changes into fruition. 📈 2. EQUITY-LED AUTHENTICITY DRIVES ENGAGEMENT As authentic representation is three times more important to multi-ethnic consumers than white consumers, if you aren't attracting the diversity you desire you may not be embedding the authenticity that is required. While equality is all about equally sharing the same resources and opportunities, equity recognises the various circumstances and factors at hand, and appropriately allocates with this variation in mind. Although consumers are savvy and brand loyalty won't happen overnight, never underestimate the value of taking people along your journey and embracing transparency throughout. And sometimes it means doing the things the public may not even explicitly know – for #TheBigPlasticCount 2022 we embedded various elements to build authenticity into it, such as inviting our cast members to bring their real life family photos, other personal cultural ornaments or traditional trinkets for the household home scenes. Ultimately, making the production feel even more like home and providing a more personal delivery that connected to and engaged 1 in every 250 households across the UK. ⚡ 3. BE BOLD WITH LIVING YOUR VALUES What are you really in business for? What are you willing to do to ensure your actions reflect your values? The sustainability movement doesn’t need anymore false promises or greenwashing. It needs true progressive campaigns that boldly reflects and reimagines what we need to see more of. If you’re not making decisions that push your area of comforts, chances are you can be bolder. Laws are regularly changing, and if you're struggling with a tricky client remember to utilise resources available via certifiers or auditing bodies to back up your more progressive points. *The Black Pound Report (2022) #greenmarketing #tips
