Positioned at the intersection of business and society, marketing is a critical function in driving change in production and consumption, attitudes and aspirations, beliefs and behaviours, and narratives and norms.
Sustainable marketing is a purpose-driven practice that works to orientate businesses, brands and society towards a sustainable future. Often confused with the practice of simply marketing the sustainability credentials of an organisation, sustainable marketing creates awareness, aspiration, adoption and action across economic and sociocultural systems by taking necessary accountability for its impacts and opportunities. In doing so, it acts in service of long-term wellbeing for all.
