🔍 The latest edition of our .trust research focused on companies in the Balkan region reveals that while EU member states like Croatia and Slovenia lead the way, these companies overall still face challenges in aligning with European business standards. ✅ Governance communication emerges as the strongest area, with companies showing a positive performance in transparently presenting their leadership structures and management processes. 🌱 However, many companies fall short of adopting structured, measurable approaches to sustainability, making it difficult to meet growing EU expectations and regulations. 🚀 Forward-looking strategies are clearly lacking, with too few companies outlining defined paths for future growth, putting them at risk of falling behind their European counterparts.

🚀 The .trust Balkan Edition is now available! Our research delivers an international readiness test for Balkan companies, evaluating how effectively they communicate and demonstrate their sustainability commitment to drive business growth and strengthen their position in Europe. 🌍 The study assesses 40 companies from 10 countries across 9 sectors in Southeastern Europe. The findings reveal a clear need for Balkan companies to elevate their efforts and better align with European business standards if they want to remain competitive. 💡 As the European market becomes increasingly competitive, companies in the Southeastern region are under pressure to adopt stronger practices, particularly in transparency, sustainability, and governance. These elements are essential to building credibility and fostering deeper integration into the European business landscape. 📈 Congratulations to the Top 10 Performers for leading the way in the region: OMV Petrom Krka NIS a.d. Novi Sad Sava Re Axpo Group Podravka Zagrebačka banka GEN-I, d.o.o. INA Grupa Nova ljubljanska banka d.d., Ljubljana.

Is the tide turning on #greenwashing? Hmmm... very doubtful when research shows overall cases of misleading environmental communication is dropping (after surging in recent years) but cases of severe greenwashing is up 30% this year. By severe, we're talking about high-impact, high-consequence, intentional and systematic cases of greenwashing. Not what we want to see more of! How to make sense of this? Our James Osborne's take on it: With all the anti-greenwashing compliance coming into force (EU green claims directive, etc.), maybe it looks like those companies that have been "inadvertently" getting things wrong and falling into the greenwashing trap are putting in place mechanisms to avoid that; meanwhile the most egregious wrong-doers are doubling down before regulation stops their dirty game. And the other trend to watch is the ascent of #greenhushing, the practice of intentionally understating or avoiding talk about sustainability to reduce legal risks. This could result in reduced transparency and hinder progress toward genuine sustainability. Make up your own mind... https://lnkd.in/dXgjy-sG

💡Human rights communication: what opportunities can companies seize? 👉In the latest part of our workshop on human rights communication, we engaged our guests in a group activity where we stimulated the discussion starting from three questions: 1. Which human rights topics are the most relevant for your company? 2. What are the biggest challenges the company must face to communicate on the topics? 3. What would be the benefits of better communication on human rights for your company and its stakeholders? The goal was to let them experiment with the concepts we addressed during the workshop and to let them talk about their experiences. 🗣️An inspiring discussion followed, where participants shared their opinions and ideas, guided by our Director, Simona Ortelli. 🎯People enthusiastically participated in the activity. This is what our workshops are truly made for: to engage professionals in thought-provoking processes that can actually help them improve their company’s communications. Thanks again to everyone who joined us! #LundquistResearch #HumanRightsCommunication #CorporateCommunication #Workshop

✨Lundquist is proud to have been at the forefront of the 2024 CSR and Social Innovation Fair (Il Salone della CSR e dell'innovazione sociale) in Milan last week, engaging in insightful discussions on the latest trends in sustainability and corporate social responsibility. At the event we had the opportunity to interact with our clients as well as thought leaders and experts across diverse fields, each sharing their unique perspectives on sustainability related to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. Panel discussions covered a wide range of topics, including how to effectively communicate sustainability, the evolving language driven by new European regulations, and the future direction for companies in this increasingly critical area. We’re grateful to have contributed to such an important event and look forward to applying these insights to our work, helping companies enhance their sustainability strategies and communications.   #Sustainability #CorporateSocialResponsibility #Innovation #DEI #SustainabilityCommunications 

💼 How Human Rights impact your business. 📈 During our workshop at Lundquist HQ in Milan, Sasja Beslik highlighted why the subject is fundamental from the perspective of an ESG investor. 💸 A proper Human Rights policy is not only about reputation or a generic fair attitude, but can affect your overall performance, making the difference between making money or losing it, despite your efforts. 🎞️ Our senior advisor explained it in his speech through examples and case studies, giving concrete insights to our numerous guests. #LundquistResearch #HumanRightsCommunication #CorporateCommunication #Workshop
