Clichés and Greenwashing
Greenwashing gehört zu den größten Fallen, in die man bei der Kommunikation von Nachhaltigkeit tappen kann. Wie kann Nachhaltigkeit jenseits von Klischees und Greenwashing kommuniziert werden?
How can sustainability be communicated beyond clichés and greenwashing? Both clichés and greenwashing are amongst the biggest traps to fall into when communicating sustainability. A "let's save the world" claim and tacky towel policy stickers are superficial and unappealing and could be a turn-off to the small group of environmentally and socially-conscious consumers. Green certification and lengthy, detailed corporate sustainability reports may (potentially) be of interest to a small niche group of highly activist consumers, who may not buy into that type of corporate hospitality in any case. However, there is a growing number of informed travelers: Those in search of genuine wellbeing and meaningful experiences at no (or as little as possible) cost to the planet. What works and what doesn't work in communicating sustainability? Any recommendations in regard to communication entering this critical decade?
