How Do People Perceive Your Sustainability?
Sustainability is not only about actions – it’s an experience, emotional in nature, and it has a strong impact on behavior and business.
This perception that covers especially the ESG elements (environmental, social, and governance) is an increasingly crucial part of employee, customer, and citizen experiences.
Poor sustainability experience leads to a loss of employees, customers, reputation, and trust – also to financial losses. It can be a death sentence for brands. However, at best it is the source of wellbeing, loyalty, growth, and success.
If sustainability experiences are not understood, people's reactions can't be anticipated – and your own actions will be too late.
To truly make a difference to people, environment, and business, sustainability requires empathy – the ability to place oneself into the shoes of employees, customers, and citizens.
