Part 2 of our Masterclass on the ROI of Sustainability will dive into ROI techniques you can apply to your own situation right away, accompanied by concrete real-world examples that bring said techniques to life. The session will highlight the true value that sustainability creates and explain why so much of the success of sustainability-ROI modeling hinges on identifying and quantifying ‘submerged value.’

In addition, the session will demonstrate time-tested ways to communicate the ROI results of sustainability.

And, just as in every part of this series, attendees will leave with specific resources they can put to use immediately.

What you’ll learn in Part 2:

  • How to build your ROI presentation in a way that resonates with your key audiences
  • Why most of the value of sustainability is submerged (i.e., hidden until you know where to look), and how to surface it and quantify it reliably
  • How to be wiser in choosing your assumptions and more deliberate with your language, especially when facing skepticism or hostility
