Event

Communicating sustainability is complex for many reasons. Most typical is the often simplified discussion on greenwashing and information overload. However, many other themes play an important role. For instance diverse audiences, the multifaceted topic, jargon and technical language, and of course regulatory requirements as well as the uncertainty and long-term nature of the sustainability matters. Therefore, any communicator will face a number of pros and cons, opportunities and risks that should be balanced when communicating in this space. 

This event provides an overview from academics, professionals and practitioners on how to navigate the complex communication dilemmas associated to this. 

You will enjoy participating, if you want to: 

• stay on top of current affairs of sustainability, 
• listen to an exciting case on how to strive with your communications efforts, 
• and discuss communicating sustainability with experts and peers. 

There will be refreshments for the event and a networking reception at the end.
