The data you’ve collected for your Sustainability story can become a bank that’s constantly mined to save resources and enhance your storytelling. There may well be rich communication opportunities, for more audiences, beyond the immediate reporting requirements. You’ve put a lot of effort in. Get the most out!

Your mine of data can be repurposed for many different audiences and media to:

  • reinforce your internal culture with positive environmental or community or health and safety stories

  • enhance your consumer brand by seeding media with human interest stories built around the same core data but tweaked to suit the channel

  • incorporate into your mainstream advertising and marketing, where appropriate

  • shift perceptions about you with influential special interest groups such as Greenpeace or unions

  • bolster government relations strategies or lobbying tactics

  • help ambient perceptions within local communities

  • suggest shifts in corporate strategy thinking, activities or capital allocation

  • At the heart of all these ideas is the notion that you now have a rich resource that can be mined with the right interpretative skills and a good communication eye for positive market interface.
