7: Motivate and mobilise the public to advocate for broader change

 8: Support dialogue with leadership and policymakers to enable wider industry sustainability

Key Takeaways:

1️⃣ Authentic Storytelling: Consumers resonate with authenticity. Craft narratives that genuinely reflect your brand’s commitment to sustainability, fostering a deeper connection.
