The Beekly: Beyond the Spin Cycle. What to Say (and Do) in ESG & Sustainability Reporting Today
Webinars in this series are <30 minute long, with the rest of the hour bookmarked for Q&A.
Description:
In today’s polarized environment, many U.S. companies are debating whether to publish ESG or sustainability reports at all—let alone what to say. The political heat is real. But so is the business case. Stakeholders still expect transparency. And the future still demands action.
Join Beehive and Sam Hartsock, Cofounder and Strategy Lead at qb. consulting, for a practical, clear-eyed conversation on ESG and sustainability reporting in today’s charged environment. qb. has supported companies like New Relic, Bumble, Upwork, Red Wing Shoe Company, and Verizon in navigating internal alignment, stakeholder expectations, and messaging that holds up under scrutiny.
We’ll skip the theory and get into what actually works—especially when publishing a report, talking about climate, or even saying “ESG” feels politically risky. From investor comms to board conversations, we’ll cover the moves that build trust, drive action, and keep your strategy future-focused.
This webinar is for leaders navigating that tension. Whether you’re rebranding ESG, learning to communicate climate risks, or trying to get your teams aligned behind evolving sustainability goals, we’ll help you cut through the noise—and avoid the traps.
What you'll learn:
• How to move from ESG commitments to credible, measurable actions
• Strategies for aligning internal teams on sustainability goals
• Tips for communicating climate risks and opportunities to investors and boards
• Common messaging traps—and how to avoid them
• Real examples from companies doing it right (and tales of companies doing it wrong.)
If you're wondering what to say, what to show, or whether to publish at all—this conversation is for you.
This session includes an open Q&A where you can ask Sam and the Beehive team your burning questions.
Who Should Attend:
ESG leaders, Investor Relations professionals, General Counsel, sustainability teams, and anyone responsible for crafting climate or sustainability reports.
