How Sustainable Is Your Networking?

Julie Starr • June 26, 2024

Most people find that networking is a vital part of the process of growing a business and a career. But with so many ways to approach it, you might find yourself wondering which is the best, and how to know whether you are doing it right. One consideration here that is important to a lot of people is the issue of sustainability, so can you say that your networking efforts are sustainable, or good for the planet? Here are some of the ways you can ensure that they are from here on out.


Video Conference Meetings

Often there will be times when you are better off attending or setting up a meeting via video conference rather than in person. This is especially true if you are in a situation where a lot of people would have to fly around the world in order to get there. It is often better therefore to hold video conferences instead, and this is a much more sustainable approach in general that you would really want to make sure you are considering. It’s going to mean that your networking is so much more sustainable in general.


Business Cards

If you want to give out business cards, you should take care to ensure that they are sustainable too. Mostly this is about making sure that they are made from recycled materials, and that they are therefore going to be having much less of an impact on the planet. As long as you have made sure of that, you will feel a lot better about giving out your business cards to people, and you will be effectively networking yourself while still being sustainable, so it’s something to definitely think about as best as you can.


Go Digital

Very often, there are digital solutions to traditional networking problems, and it’s always best to opt for these rather than the old style of doing things. As we saw above, this can be true for meetings and functions, but you may find there are also lots of other situations where it’s just as true. So all in all, it’s important to make sure that you are approaching this from a digital angle if you want your networking to work as well as possible and you’ll be glad that you did if you really do care about the planet.


Don’t Overdo It

A lot of people do actually do too much networking, and the result of that is that they struggle to keep the sustainability level where it should be. So you should take great care to ensure you are going to avoid overdoing it, as this is something that is always going to be a risk here. If you can avoid overdoing it, you’ll find that you are going to have a much better approach in general to your networking and to doing your bit for the planet at the same time. It’s amazing how well this can work.

What You Call It vs. What You Do: Communicating Impact Beyond ESG Labels

As the world continues to prioritize environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals, a new technological movement is quietly reshaping how companies communicate their sustainability efforts: Web3. Web3—the next evolution of the internet built on decentralized technologies like blockchain—offers powerful new tools for ESG storytelling. At Taiga Company, we believe Web3 represents a transformational opportunity to enhance digital transparency, expand decentralized sustainability initiatives, and bring fresh credibility to corporate ESG communications. Web3 Unlocks Digital Transparency for ESG In an era where stakeholders expect greater accountability, Web3 provides an immutable, verifiable way to share ESG metrics. Blockchain technology enables companies to record sustainability data—such as carbon tracking, water usage, or supply chain emissions—directly on decentralized ledgers. This creates a new level of digital transparency that can bolster trust with investors, customers, and regulators. At Taiga Company, we help businesses translate these complex technical capabilities into clear, accessible communications. Our services bridge the gap between advanced Web3 solutions and everyday ESG storytelling , making decentralized reporting meaningful to broader audiences. Decentralized Sustainability and Regenerative Finance (ReFi) Beyond transparency, Web3 is giving rise to decentralized sustainability models. Projects in regenerative finance (ReFi) are using blockchain tools to incentivize environmental restoration, carbon sequestration, and climate-positive activities. These initiatives align with emerging ESG expectations that go beyond ‘do no harm’ and focus on regenerative impact. We work with companies to integrate these new paradigms into their sustainability narratives—highlighting how innovative approaches like ReFi contribute to broader environmental goals, align with ESG criteria, and showcase leadership in a rapidly changing landscape. A New Era for ESG Storytelling Traditional ESG reports often feel static, data-heavy, and disconnected from stakeholders. Web3 offers a dynamic, participatory model where audiences can engage with real-time sustainability data, track progress directly, and even contribute to decentralized initiatives. Our services specialize in creating communications that reflect this evolution. By combining our expertise in sustainability strategy with a growing understanding of Web3 trends, we help organizations: Translate decentralized sustainability efforts into compelling, credible stories Align carbon tracking and digital transparency initiatives with stakeholder expectations Position ESG leadership within the emerging Web3 economy The Path Forward Web3 won't replace traditional ESG frameworks, but it will significantly enhance them. Companies that start integrating decentralized transparency, carbon tracking, and regenerative finance into their sustainability communications today will be better positioned for tomorrow's expectations.  Ready to evolve your ESG communications for the Web3 era? Let's connect.
