stakeholder engagement
fishing for compliments
Integrated seafood producer, Espersen A/S, is one of Denmark’s best-kept secrets. With modern production plants in Denmark, Lithuania, Poland, Vietnam and the United Kingdom, with representation offices in UK, France, Germany, Sweden and Denmark.
Truly a game-changer in its industry, sustainability is core to the company’s strategy – and Espersen’s actions speak far louder, in fact, than its words.
For its 2023 report, Espersen called upon cylindr to help craft the narrative from start to finish. We assisted the internal team with structural advice, acted as a sounding board for foundational elements in the narrative, and provided copywriting and proofreading services to ensure a highly professional report.
SUSTAINABILITY COPYWRITING & JOURNALISM
Sustainability storytelling isn’t as easy as it used to be. Today, the practice is dominated by concerns about regulatory compliance, greenwashing, science-based targets and more. And the role of corporate finance is steadily increasing – which can easily result in your company’s most worthwhile stories simply disappearing under an avalanche of data.
We can help you to maintain or boost the power of your sustainability stories, wherever you are in your sustainability journey. We can provide guidance in using the best language and terminology, and we know just how to connect your sustainability efforts to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and other relevant standards.
