Summer Sustainability Sizzle Webinar: Green Hushing to Green Shouting
Research shows that customers, especially Gen Z, care deeply about climate action, and that businesses are still acting, investing, and innovating on sustainability. At the same time more and more companies are choosing silence, paralyzed by fear of backlash, legal scrutiny, or saying the wrong thing at the wrong moment. How do we move from so-called “greenhushing” and how can your business continue to speak up on climate action and sustainability, responsibly? Hear from communication experts on why silence can be a strategic risk, how to maintain your brand’s visibility and communicate your company’s sustainability initiatives accurately without overclaiming.
