Sustainability Conversations ... Snake Eagle Thinking

What does sustainability really mean for your business?

It is your way to say why and how your business is acting responsibly.
Your viewpoint should:

• Reduce barriers: Reduce consumer confusion around sustainability by describing positive values and impacts of buying your products
• Create benefits: Create an emotional connection by helping consumers feel they are contributing to a better world and are part of a solution when they buy from your company.

“I believe that each person has a story to tell and my life is informed and shaped by the stories I experience and witness around me. Alongside my love of story, both my personal and professional worlds are shaped by a life-long fascination with the study and teaching of the creative process and the possibilities it unlocks for transformative encounters with ourselves and each other. My career as singer-songwriter and facilitator of creative and social empowerment processes has been a reflection of the above”. - Eugenie Grobler

Something to think about:

Paul Hohnen wrote in his blogpost the other week that "where a decade ago there was still optimism that things could be turned around on issues like climate change, deforestation and over-fishing, people [sustainability professionals] are now openly saying that it is too late. Humankind will have to experience a profound crisis before it understands that the "doom and gloom" and "limits to growth" fraternity were right after all".

Have a wonderful week!
