Virtual Group Lab Session: The Green Space Is Gray

Although the concepts of sustainability and ESG may feel commonplace, these movements are still relatively new, with the term ESG being coined less than 20 years ago. Purpose-driven organizations are essentially building and implementing programs while this ESG space is still developing.

Meanwhile, sustainability experts have to navigate these uncertainties, while also being tasked with defining and tracking science-based targets and creating programs of impact to satisfy consumers.

So, how do you navigate the green space when it feels like such a gray area? We invite you to join us for a FREE Virtual Group Lab Session to:

    • Brainstorm strategies for navigating the uncertainties faced by ESG professionals
    • Compare frameworks for strategically tracking sustainability and ESG goals
    • Learn easier methods for creating programs of impact to satisfy your consumers and shareholders
    • Understand how to share about initiatives in consumer-friendly language and incorporate them in on-packaging messaging

As a working session, attendees will have the unique opportunity to connect and network with like-minded individuals navigating the sustainability space.
