Good Article to read: Quote Perhaps the most common gripe among CSOs this year is hiring from a limited talent pool in which candidates claim to have mastered a complex and constantly changing field after going on a six-week course. Sure, everyone bigs-up their CV. But there are few sectors in recent history that have produced so many overnight experts. This is a particular concern in Asia, where industry-watchers say people have been promoted too quickly into senior roles with very little sustainability experience, leaving them exposed in board meetings when they are asked to justify their existence.  Unquote This point I really agree. Some ppl have "sustainability" in the their title, but not in their life style. “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.” https://lnkd.in/gmbC4jXg

#ESG : A business challenge is also always a communications challenge! What should #publicrelations professionals do in such situations? Hiding behind others' lack of progress is not a solution, nor is kicking the can down the road—even getting called out for #greenwashing. For #communcations consultants, this situation creates an opportunity and a risk: #opportunity - become a trustworthy partner for your clients on this journey, playing devil's advocate and staying on course in terms of telling true stories of struggle and resolve (the most traditional way of #storytelling), making it less abstract and humanizing the issues #risk - get strong-armed by clients to massage the truth or trying to burry the situation by distracting with smoke and mirror stories Where do you and your communications approach sit?
