SXSW 2024
How to decarbonize creativity and create clean
Description:
We want to introduce the movement to shift creativity away from working with major polluters and into a creative climate-positive future. Greenwashing for polluters can harm clean tech companies and clean brands, and impacts the ability to recruit diverse young talent. However, there is a growing movement inside the ad, PR, and creator industries to support the climate transition - and it is making a major impact.
In three fireside chats, we’ll talk with creative leaders about how taking real action on the climate crisis is integral to their creative work, and building stronger businesses.
