The Ethics & Environmental Impact of Communications
I want all that I do to be rooted in ethics and environmental sustainability. I pledge to look for the least harmful way to enjoy all life and what the planet has to offer. My content will work towards being exclusively ethically produced.
What Is Ethical Communications?
Ethical communication is a way of telling stories and helping to spread information/marketing that is true, accurate, honest, original, credited, and factual, so others can clearly understand. Ethical communications encourage equality and accessibility and are against prejudice, racism, and hate.
What Is Environmental Communications?
Environmental Communications places the environment at the heart of information and stories, helping to spread ethical information and ensure communications projects, deliverables, and initiatives are created with the least negative impact, possible.
How Do Ethics & Environemtnal Communications Go Together—Why It’s Important
You can’t have successful and long-lasting environmental communications without the ethical component. Environmental communications are about equipping people, organizations, and governments with data, stories, and connection points in the messaging, for action to be taken to lessen the effects of climate change caused by global warming. Those environmental communications pieces need to be accessible to those with a disability, as well as respect and attribute the creative aspect that goes into storytelling, marketing, and general communications.
