SINGAPORE and SAN DIEGO, Feb. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Organisations can now ensure their sustainability initiatives are not vulnerable to embarrassing allegations of greenwashing, through Hong Bao Media's new sustainability communications advisory service.
The 'Greenwash-proof your Sustainability Communications' program helps organisations sharpen the way they publicise their sustainability initiatives, as investors, regulators, NGOs and the media subject them to intense scrutiny for greenwashing.
In partnership with San Diego-based Beyond3020, Inc., Senior Leadership Teams and Boards of Directors receive an audit of their existing Sustainability Report, along with guidance on reframing their disclosures where necessary. The outcome is a solid way of communicating demonstrated and quantified sustainability initiatives that meet the United Nations' requirements for "demonstrated integrity, radical transparency and third-party accountability".
"Many of our media training participants already seek to communicate their sustainability initiatives. Our new service offering aims to sharpen these messages to ensure they withstand legitimate scrutiny from all stakeholders," says Mark Laudi, Managing Director of Hong Bao Media.
"Our work in SDG implementations includes conducting forensic analysis of sustainability reports for signs of greenwashing, relentlessly editing them, and closing the gaps for process improvements where possible" added Dr. Brooke Newman, CEO of Before3020, Inc., a Public Benefit Corporation.
"This course offering is best compared to a corporate sustainability "hackathon"; we find the vulnerabilities in the sustainability efforts and communications to save you from embarrassing and potentially costly allegations of greenwashing", noted Robert van Zwieten, Before3020, Inc.'s fractional COO/CFO, and a Board member of Hong Bao Media.
"The need to sharpen communications around sustainability initiatives is acute. Investors are increasingly jaded, as an un-standardised mishmash of disclosures and analyst commentary do more to obfuscate than to clarify," Laudi concludes. "Organisations that greenwash-proof their sustainability communications can gain a significant competitive advantage over those that continue with qualitative feel-good messages that do little to fight climate change and risk public censure."
