Signature Speaker2020 marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. Since the first Earth Day in 1970, consumer awareness of environmental issues has increased significantly, and according to Nielsen, a monstrous 81% of global respondents feel strongly that companies should help improve the environment.
TemperPack is a company that was founded as a response to excess waste in packaging. Therefore, it’s no surprise that when it comes to marketing, which can be a wasteful endeavor, TemperPack tackles it with the same shrewd approach.
In a business-to-business world, how do you market environmental sustainability and responsibility to corporate partners seeking growth? Is it a wasteful endeavor or can you drive the bottom line in an environmentally responsible way? What points of differentiation build into marketing that will be noticed in a crowded field, while avoiding greenwashing? Join AMA Richmond to hear TemperPack’s talk, where they will share:
- How sustainability itself can be wasteful
- How we get the most out the resources we have
- How we’re using COVID to get smarter
