When your eco-friendly initiative fails to spark interest, amplify its reach by first reframing the proposal to highlight the direct benefits, such as cost savings, brand enhancement, or risk mitigation. Tailor your message to align with the specific concerns and priorities of key stakeholders. Use compelling data, case studies, or success stories from similar projects to build credibility. Leverage internal champions who can advocate for the initiative and create excitement. Additionally, engage with wider audiences through workshops, presentations, or media to broaden awareness, demonstrating how the initiative supports both sustainability and business growth.

If my sustainable proposal is ignored, the immediate action I'll take is to analyse the following: * is the proposal aligned with the corporate objectives? * is the proposal comprehensive enough and contains the necessary PDCA cycle? * did I approach the right people and a collective of stakeholders? Once the above have been evaluated, I will revisit and strengthen the (a) Competitive Comparison report & (b) Cost-benefits analysis, giving a reasonable timeframe, with a reasonable timeframe.

To ensure my sustainable proposal gets attention, I’d frame it as a smart business move, focusing on cost savings, risk reduction, and growth potential. Engaging people from different departments early on can help build support and credibility. I'd use clear visuals and stories to make the data relatable and show how it meets real-world demands, like regulations and customer expectations. Starting with a small pilot can prove its value and address any concerns. Getting a senior leader's backing would boost visibility, and I’d time the proposal strategically, like during key planning sessions. Persistence is key, so I’d keep refining and advocating to make sustainability a core part of our strategy.
