Sustainability Communication Consulting

As a writer and former journalist, I develop “the why” in your sustainability story to reach your stakeholders on an emotional level, drive engagement and prompt them to take action. What you say is only as powerful as what you do — and I make sure that your actions and messages align to tell a powerful, authentic story.

With increased scrutiny from investors, regulators, customers, employees and other stakeholders, it has never been more important to disclose your ESG information. But to be successful in reporting, you have to have a clear strategy for effectively engaging your key audiences. I can work with you to develop a report content strategy and narrative, draft and edit copy, and provide guidance for aligning to leading reporting frameworks and standards such as GRI, SASB, UN Sustainable Development Goals, and more.

A good communication strategy is only as effective as its execution. I work with you to develop journalist-quality content, including blog posts, web copy, social copy, internal communication content, and more. If you already have a content team, I can plug in as an editor to ensure quality control for your sustainability content.

As a former journalist, I’ve been pitched a thousand times about every sustainability story under the sun. Using this experience, I partner with your communication team to develop and deliver interesting, relevant and effective pitches for media covering sustainability and climate change. I can also support with direct media outreach.

If your company is “doing the work” to advance positive social and environmental impact — but not getting credit for this — then it is missing out on a big opportunity. I work with you to develop your sustainability narrative, messaging, strategic framework and more to find your authentic sustainability brand.

Typically sustainability teams aren’t the best communicators, while marketing, sales and communication professionals lack sustainability expertise. I can work with either or both groups to improve sustainability communication skills through workshops, trainings and coaching.
