The 2023 ANA B2B Marketing Conference will shed light on practical applications and strategies along with a foundational approach to addressing these challenges, such as adapting to ever-changing buyer behaviour, achieving differentiation, and implementing creative marketing strategies.
Laurence Newell, Managing Director, Brand Finance Americas and Alfred DuPuy, Brand Finance North America's Valuation & Strategy Director will be presenting The Sustainability Gap: Greenwashing vs Greenhushing.
Ever wondered about the financial implications linked to sustainability perceptions for top global B2B brands? Join us to uncover the astonishing truth: millions of dollars hang in the balance for the world's largest B2B brands if sustainability perceptions stray from their actual performance. We'll dive deep into the intriguing paradox of greenwashing, where brands tiptoe on a tightrope, risking the overstatement of sustainability claims while preserving consumer trust. Additionally, we'll explore the lesser-known concept of greenhushing, where brands potentially hide their commendable sustainability efforts. All of this is designed to unravel the multifaceted world of sustainability and provide you with actionable strategies to flourish in this ever-evolving landscape.
