David Haigh insights on the impact of Green Washing vs Green Hushing are very interesting. The effect on brand value is significant. However, it seems to me that many sales teams are not well-equipped to leverage sustainability as a competitive advantage. It's crucial for sales teams to understand how to compete and create value propositions centered around sustainability. Let's put an end to the silence.

Associate Partner at McKinsey I Growth, Marketing & Sales Practice I Systemic Coach
Changing firms ~1.5 years ago also meant that it took a moment until publishing our knowledge made it to the top of my prioritiy list again. All the more reason to share my newest article on green #growth in consumer industries: "Talk is cheap: How much will consumers really pay for green products?" If we would only consider what consumers 𝘴𝘢𝘺, sustainable products should be 𝘵𝘩𝘦 growth driver in #FMCG and #retail. And they can be a powerful source of growth. But there is a discrepancy between talk and action, i.e., where consumers actually put their money. In our newest article, we reveal how to overcome this discrepancy. Our pilot study shows how manufacturers of consumer products can better understand which aspects of sustainability actually encourage consumer demand - based on an auction-based insights approach. Thank you to my co-authors Yvonne Staack, Tjark Freundt, Sascha B. Lehmann and thank you Marlies Kerklaan and team for the collaboration! #Consumer #Sustainability #McKinseyGMS

KEY FOCUS: Sustainable Consultant | Developing Ethical Sustainable Organisations | Supply Chain Audits | Certification Programmes | Employee Training |
Investing in a culture change of embracing business sustainability will add value to any business and its employees. Want to know more, please make contact. Be proactive not reactive. (15/5)
I help organisations move away from conventional, outdated thinking to embrace real ethical and sustainable business practices that create people-centric cultures and leverage competitive advantage in the marketplace.
WHAT WE OFTEN SEE are many well-intentioned businesses investing significant effort into environmental aspects of sustainability without taking the time to embed a culture of sustainability throughout their whole organisation. This makes any sustainability-related gains short-lived. We also see too many examples of fancy marketing that, sadly, just don’t stack up upon investigation. Think carbon credits that allow a business to financially offset its emissions, which is a tax, rather than an investment in the business. Or the absence of supply chain transparency. Not only can these ‘Greenwashing Tactics’ create significant challenges for consumers, but they can also cause irreversible damage to a company’s brand and reputation if called out. Whether you’re just starting out on your sustainability journey or want reassurance you’re on the right track – WE CAN HELP. We can also provide the training and initial evaluation you need to unlock truly ethical and sustainable growth that ensures your people, business, and the environment flourish. We will also provide a plan to guide your team through the process.
