Sustainable brands, green communication - the fine line between green hushing and greenwashing:
Saturday, 27.07.2024, 11:30-12:00 / Sunday, 28.07.2024, 14:15-14:45

There are currently two major trends in the area of sustainability: greenwashing, the attempt to achieve a green image through marketing or PR, and greenhushing, the withholding of sustainability information out of fear of criticism. Mimi Sewalski, Managing Director of Germany's largest online marketplace for a sustainable lifestyle, Avocadostore, explains why it is still worth opting for sustainability, how sustainability is still a convincing purchasing argument and what trends exist in this area.

Sunday, 28.07.2024, 13:30-14:00 / Monday, 29.07.2024, 14:15-14:45

What does sustainability actually mean in relation to my shop? Can I make my shop window sustainable? What is the benefit for me? Or am I perhaps already doing this? Pamela Kler, founder of the label Glückliche Händchen and the creative workshop Bunsenstrasse 2, shares experiences, provides examples and offers space for discussion.
