60% of people say business is not a reliable source of environmental information. Basically, they think business says more than it actually does in terms of becoming sustainable. Such low community trust is a serious issue for any business concerned about its reputation.

Green Capital is bringing together stakeholders to constructively discuss the issues and solutions.
Our panel of business, community groups and regulators will discuss where communication on sustainability has faced difficulties or has been successful. The debate will be about discussing the solutions, for business and consumers.
