🤩 Adam Gordon, Fractional Marketing Executive and #OPFAcademy graduate, shares how his enhanced sustainability expertise is helping him to drive climate action with his clients… “One of the key elements in marketing companies that are going through the process of carbon accounting… you need to learn to speak the language of carbon accounting. That was a tremendous boost in my career from the OnePointFive Academy. So much so that I've been able to secure several clients just through the education. For instance, the company that makes this little feet packaging, this is a recycled paper version of plastic bubble wrap, actually has better shock protection than plastic bubble wrap because I was able to tell their story more accurately and better across social media. In 90 days, we increased their social reach by 8700%, and that was a direct result of the education I got at OPF.” 🔔 Thinking of applying to OnePointFive Academy?

Neil Yeoh got fired up about how the consumer & fashion sectors should tackle environmental impacts beyond carbon emissions through innovative strategies like… 👀 👇 1️⃣ Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Modeling: Assess product-level environmental impacts across the supply chain. 🔥 Hot-take: Calculating Scope 1, 2, & 3 emissions alone won't drive significant change. 2️⃣ Green Engineering & Chemistry: Integrate sustainability into product design. 🔥 Hot-take: Relying on recycling indicates a failure to embed sustainability from the start. Key takeaways: ▶️ "You cannot reduce what you cannot measure." ▶️ "If we focus on recycling, we've failed in circular thinking." ▶️ "Beware of unfounded sustainable marketing claims." ▶️ "Educate yourself to avoid being misled by brands." 💬 What innovative strategies do you think are crucial for driving sustainability beyond carbon reduction?
