Redefining Value
Overview
As consumers increasingly look to sustainability as a priority filter for purchasing decisions, marketers are presented with a unique opportunity as well as responsibility to communicate accurately and transparently on impact. The role of marketers in introducing sustainability concepts and shifting consumer mindset and decision making is evolving at pace – and goes much further than simply delivering communications on the topic.
Learnings

- How are marketers balancing long-term corporate objectives on sustainability, and the need to deliver more immediate, marketing-led growth for organisations?
- The sustainability agenda exposes marketers to a much wider range of stakeholders than their end consumers. Marketers of today have a role in doing what’s right for customers, as well as shaping and implementing effective corporate sustainability strategies and creating a strong employee value proposition.
Post Event Actions

- Understand that purpose-driven marketing has the potential to steer policy and employee engagement and provide an impetus for the brand to live up to it – in addition to simply communicating it.
