Build shared understanding, trust and commonality of purpose

We live in a greenwashing pandemic that is hampering our ability to transition to a sustainable world. Rarely intentional, greenwashing is typically due to a lack of expertise and shared understanding between marketing and sustainability teams. This accelerator is for in-house marketing and sustainability teams. It provides marketers with an introduction to sustainability and sustainability leads with an introduction to marketing. The shared workshop builds on that new shared understanding to establish trust and foundations for your successful sustainable marketing strategy
