Storytelling in sustainability communication

From fact overload to emotional impact

This training is held in German.
How do you create credible sustainability communication that touches and convinces - without falling into the greenwashing trap? In this workshop, you will learn the basics of storytelling along all ESG facets and how to take the requirements of the Green Claims Act into account. You will learn why pure facts rarely work, how to use emotions in a targeted way and how to develop stories that reach people. Using structured methods, psychological know-how and best practices, you will create your own sustainable story - authentic and strategically integrated into your communication channels.
