"I would just love to see companies take ownership of their social and environmental impact and become as transparent as possible. That's really table stakes for any brand, it's not just purpose driven ones." - Lizzie Horvitz, Founder at Finch

5 Key Highlights:

1. Power of Purpose-Driven Brands: This webinar highlights the growing trend of consumers seeking out sustainable and purpose-driven brands. Learn how brands can embed sustainability into their DNA and why consumers are gravitating towards sustainable products.

2. Understanding 'Clean' in Brands: There’s plenty of  confusion around the term 'clean' in branding. Learn how companies are defining it for their customers, and gain firsthand insight from special guests Emily Hazlett from Genexa and Lizzie Horvitz from Finch who share their experiences of creating clean medicine in their companies.

3. Greenwashing and Sustainable Products: Greenwashing is the deceptive practice of promoting products as environmentally friendly without backing up the claims—and it can definitely hurt your brand. Learn about the challenges in developing genuinely sustainable products and the importance of simplicity and transparency in product packaging.

4. Connecting Companies with Consumers: How can companies emotionally connect with consumers? Transparency and trustworthiness are critical, and retailers can do so by helping consumers understand clean and green products and the role of third-party certifications and lifecycle analyses.
