CSR in the News • Despite Economic Pressures, Majority of Companies Plan to Increase Emphasis on Sustainability (Fleishman Hillard & AMA) • Survey shows 58 % of marketing and communication leaders believe their companies will place more emphasis on developing corporate sustainability opportunities in the months ahead, despite belt tightening that is happening in the business world • More marketers and communicators (53 %) define sustainability as the need to balance financial, human and natural resources for the long-term benefit of business and communities. • Few define sustainability in terms of focusing on renewable energy resources (3 %) or driving inefficiency out of the supply chain (10 %). • Employees (82 %) and customers (74 %) are more likely to be the targets of communications about sustainability than are investors and analysts (52 %). • 63% believe that the new administration's policies will further accelerate the adoption of sustainability programs. • Even the most popular sustainability programs – recycling (36 %) and electric energy efficiency (20 %t) – are extensively embraced by only a minority of businesses.

  3. CSR in the News • Sustainable Communications: An Emerging Discipline with 4 C’s • Credibility: this means no more fluff. Communications have to be underpinned by robust, verifiable technical data. • Clarity: clear, genuine, authentic messages; instead of making vague statements about being “eco-friendly”, touch points need to be tangible. • Consistency: sustainability is not a trend; messages must resonate with the company’s existing voice in the market place. • Conversation: the brands that win will be those whose consumers and other stakeholders tell the best stories- it’s a two way conversation. • Diane Verde from Clownfish
