16:00 PANEL DEBATE Communicating Your Green Agenda: Make sure your stakeholders know ‘and believe’ your green credentials

Why should consumers and investors believe what you say about your environmental impact and what assures them? With so many companies jumping on the green band wagon it is essential to the success of any climate change related programme not only that you effectively communicate your climate friendly journey, but that it is credible. How do they perceive your climate change message and how can you use this knowledge to drive sales and improve your company’s reputation?

  • What do your customers really think about climate change?
  • What works? What must be avoided at all costs?
  • How can you incorporate consumer feedback into subsequent climate change campaigns?
  • Winning the hearts and minds of even your most sceptical customers
