Guide: Building confidence in sustainability communications

By Sally Pritchett

Your shortcut to confident, compelling and trustworthy sustainability comms.

Sustainability comms is one of the hardest things to get right.

Say too little, and people won’t know about all the great work you’re doing. Say too much, and you could risk being accused of greenwashing. The stakes are high, but the opportunity is huge – when you get it right, you build trust, inspire action and create real change.

This guide is here to help you do exactly that.

Whether you’re a communications professional tasked with telling the sustainability story – or a sustainability lead trying to get people to listen – this practical manual is designed to help you communicate with clarity, honesty and impact.

What’s inside:

  • Why sustainability comms is uniquely challenging – and how to overcome the common traps
  • How to communicate honestly without greenwashing – or greenhushing
  • Tips for choosing the right words, tone and visuals
  • Insights on how different generations engage with the topic of sustainability
  • Real-world examples, do’s and don’ts and easy wins you can start using right away
  • Cut through the noise. Say what matters. And say it in a way people trust.
