Communications Hub a loud Success at Futuresource

The Futuresource 2010 Communications Hub, run by Sauce Consultancy in partnership with Chartered Institution of Wastes Management (CIWM) and the Associate Parliamentary Sustainable Resource Group (APSRG), was a resounding success again this year, with a series of hard hitting debates around key communications challenges facing the industry.

With a strong line-up of industry insiders, journalists and politicians, the debate sessions tackled a wide range of topics from public engagement to bad science and building ties with protest groups.

The result was truly exciting and dynamic exchanges with robust participation from the audience which provided the opportunity to go behind the press releases and newspaper articles and hear what the experts really think of the issues facing the sector. It proved that informed discussion and engagement with the public are the building blocks for the future of the environment sector. Read more »

Are you being greenwashed?

May 13th, 2010

Sauce Consultancy’s John Twitchen worked with Which? (consumer magazine) along with other experts to investigate the green claims made by a number of household products including toilet cleaner, washing tablets, baby wipes and nappies. Of 14 household items surveyed, including laundry tablets, toilet cleaners and nappies, almost half were marketed with green claims that could not be supported by convincing evidence. John says: “Products targeting green consumers have a responsibility to be green and unambiguous. While claims may be scientifically proven, the evidence has to be accessible to the average consumer.”
