Communicating Green Project Team Member, EUGLOH (University of Szeged) & Demola Global, 06/22, The green transition is a must and a mystery at the same time. Uncertainty in consumer behavior and fear of communicating about sustainability actions is often leading to situations where companies do not dare to tell anything before the transition is ready. How should sustainability endeavors be communicated by companies when the journey has just started? What are the means, angles and depth of message in sustainability communication of today and tomorrow?
