This handbook makes it easy to choose the best global certification and labelling schemes. The book is targeting companies wishing to document their efforts in the field of sustainable development and to avoid greenwashing.The certfication and labelling schemes have been selected according to a systematic method - The Butterfly Model - which has two wings: credibility and market value. Each scheme achieves a score based on 36 well-defined criteria. After reading the handbook it will be possible to assess all kinds of certification and labelling schemes and select the most suitable ones.The book will help the readers to distinguish between the credible labelling systems from the less credible on the market. The method of assessing individual certification schemes has been developed by the authors of the book: certifications and labelling experts Jakob Zeuthen and Lars Ludvigsen.The book has established a common international ‘grammar’ to understand the value of all kinds of certification and labelling schemes that support sustainable transition. In 2018, the model was applied to the 51 leading schemes on the Danish market and was published in a Danish book. Now, the model is published in a further developed English version focusing on brands with global coverage. As a further development, each of the schemes are also assessed against the seventeen SDGs developed by the UN.All 18 labelling schemes represent credible and recommendable schemes, although they achieve a different score. The schemes that do not meet the minimum criteria are not included in the book at all. Thus, the book can be considered a current Hall of Fame for global, sustainable certification and labelling schemes. The book is 100 pages.
Kommunikationsstrategier kan gøre en forskel, når det gælder om at skære ned på verdens overproduktion! I en ny bog viser Karin M. Laljani og Lars Ludvigsen, hvordan bæredygtig kommunikation ikke bare er smukke ord og pyntefjer, men en fundamentalt anden måde at tænke på virksomheden som en brik i et kæmpe puslespil - og tage sit ansvar for klodens fremtid alvorligt. Provokerende? Ja! Modigt? Ja! Nødvendigt? Endnu mere ja!Virksomhedernes kommunikations- og marketingafdelinger må tage en stor del af ansvaret og sætte en stopper for virksomhedernes kortsynede fokus på næste kvartal og deres brugen af "greenwash" og kommunikationsvask.Laljani og Ludvigsen har skrevet den første bog om bæredygtig kommunikation på dansk, fordi de er trætte af at være vidner til kynisk kommunikation (fx guerilla-markedsføring, product placement og undercover-kommunikation), som kun har til formål at promovere virksomhedens produkter og nå kvartalsresultatet. De argumenterer for, at fremtidens kommunikation skal være båret af syv principper, bl.a. etisk, transparent og faktabaseret. Virksomhedernes kommunikationsafdelinger kan på den måde gå foran i kampen for en mere bæredygtig fremtid.Bæredygtig kommunikation indeholder både analyseværktøj og strategier for, hvordan virksomhedens kommunikationsfolk både kan kommunikere virksomhedens bæredygtige forretningspraksis og hjælpe den med at blive realiseret. Karin M. Laljani har siden 2003 arbejdet som Senior Vice President i den europæiske direktion for InterfaceFLOR og er medlem af bestyrelsen for tve (Television for the Environment). Lars Ludvigsen er grundlægger af PR-Partner og kommunikationsrådgiver for danske og udenlandske virksomheder. Begge har arbejdet med bæredygtighed i mange år.
