The purpose is your “why”, the innermost driving force that differentiates the company in the market. Identify what is most important to you, and focus on what you are best at while exploring the world’s needs. It helps you formulate your vision and mission, review your offering and find a task to contribute to societal benefit. This creates added value and lays the foundation for your sustainability communication.

Sustainability communication strengthens the brand

Sustainable companies build strong relationships with customers and stakeholders. With an open dialogue, they determine the market’s expectations and create transparent and credible communication based on the company’s values.

Get help with your sustainability communication and start exploring customers’ needs. It provides essential insights into how relationships can develop. With storytelling, you convey your purpose and your why. What drives you, what you strive to achieve, and how you solve problems. Everything that characterizes your brand.

We help companies communicate their sustainability work in Swedish and English. For storytelling, a storyboard is created, comprising a description of the company, vision, brand, values, morals, tone of voice, themes, key scenes etc, and is used for creating different stories.

Sustainability Coach

What is the point of trying to do the right thing when it’s just a drop in the ocean? But when we all work together, an infinite number of drops are created to form an ocean.

Throughout my professional life, I have worked with communication. The clients are companies of all sizes in a variety of industries. It has given me a deeper understanding of different organizations, their challenges and opportunities.

As a writer, I am accustomed to seeing things in a larger context and quickly getting acquainted with business ideas, products and services. I write commercially and editorially and adapt texts to the recipients, depending on the channel, recipient, and message.

Vocational education in copywriting from Berghs School of Communication and journalist training from Poppius School of Journalism. Over the years, I have completed a long list of further training in communication.

I have studied Coaching Leadership at Coach2Coach Academy and Cooperative leadership, sustainability and business development with Coompanion and Affärskompetens. Through VATI of Sweden, I am a Certified Business 4SDGs Change Leader in sustainability and the SDGs according to Agenda 2030. From CirEko Academy, I have a diploma in circular business. And I continue to immerse myself in the area of sustainable enterprising.
