Momentum pursues collaborations and alliances at two levels: at the organizational level to extend its own influence through alliances and collaborations with like minded organizations, and at the social change level as an important mechanism to meet the sustainability challenges of this century.

Businesswriters & Design www.businesswriters.com.au
Businesswriters & Design and Momentum have joined forces to address the changed landscape of sustainability reporting. The pressure is on companies to build sustainability factors into competitive strategies so that the focus encompasses not only corporate risk, but also market opportunity. In this environment the sustainability report has assumed a new role. While it remains a vital tool for collecting and communicating information, there are new pressures to deliver a report which:

clearly articulates the business case for – and value of – the organisation’s sustainability effort; knows its stakeholders and reaches its audience; reports material issues that really matter to all stakeholders; and is integrated into a broader corporate communications strategy.

Our seminars aim to provide a ‘roadmap’ for reporting and to cut through the clutter of conflicting information and reveal new trends and practical ways to communicate the value of sustainability activities to investors, industry, government, staff, customers and the general public.
