Sustainability marketing skills gap: interview with CIM
The Chartered Institute of Marketing launches new courses to help business to communicate green credentials. Maggie Jones, Associate Director of Qualifications and Partnerships, at the Chartered Institute of Marketing, joins Learning News.
A report from the Chartered Institute of Marketing shows how businesses are struggling to communicate their sustainability credentials and that a significant skills gap exists for those involved.
Marketers and those tasked with communicating sustainability are often wary of fully embracing the task for fear of their company being accused of greenwashing and many lack the skills needed. Yet consumers expect companies to do more and increase communications around the sustainability of their products and services.
Maggie Jones from CIM worked on the report and joins Learning News to explore the report's findings and present CIM's new courses and qualifications in this area.
