ESG webinar 4: Sustainability reporting and communications – best practice for co-ops and mutuals

The 2024-25 BCCM ESG Community of Practice (CoP) Program and workshop series is open to ESG CoP Alumni and BCCM members.

Workshop Webinar #4 – Sustainability reporting and communications – best practice for co-ops and mutuals

This session led by the global sustainability and communications expert – Heidi Hauf – will discuss the latest best practices around sustainability reporting and communications.  This session will not be about the specifics of the upcoming climate reporting legislation – but will rather focus on case-studies, tips and techniques to maximise the effectiveness of your organisational communications around sustainability.

Heidi will draw upon her many years of experience in developing sustainability and communication plans for the different sectors she has worked in – both in Australia and further afield.  This includes reporting, but also other other ways in which co-operatives and mutuals communicate on climate, greener products and services, impact reduction and community action. We will also touch upon the latest legal requirements and advice in avoiding green-washing and social-washing, an issue which has gained a higher profile in Australia and many other markets around the world with people becoming increasingly savvy around what is a meaningful message.
