Sustainability Sells: Stories that Shift Consumer Behaviour

​Presented by the UBC Sauder Centre for Climate and Business Solutions | Part of #PNWClimateWeek

How do we turn climate action into something consumers care about—and act on? This event explores how businesses can use sustainability metrics and authentic storytelling to engage consumers, build trust, and drive sales, without falling into the trap of greenwashing.

​Join us for a conversation on what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to communicating climate impact. Learn how companies are aligning their sustainability performance with brand strategy to meet the growing demand for climate-conscious products and services.

Featuring a research presentation from 🎤 Dr.Kate White, Professor of Marketing and Behavioural Science, UBC Sauder School of Business and Co-Author of the Elusive Green Consumer, People say they want sustainable products, but they don’t tend to buy them. Here’s how to change that (Harvard Business Review).
