ESG and Sustainability Comms Consultancy
Sustainability comms is about evidence-based storytelling. Many businesses quite understandably operate in a default PR position of amplifying positive results. But credible ESG, sustainability and impact communications is about presenting successes and strengths, risks, progress, direction of travel and areas that need more focus. Getting that balance right will mean greater credibility and better engagement.
Yes, messages need to be clear and simple – but in this case, we need some nuance. Credibility and trust are built on performance, transparency and accountability – this is what your stakeholders are really looking for.
