Feeling frustrated that you can’t get buy-in for sustainability?

(Even though you have the technical knowledge and a strong business case)

Answer 12 questions to find out what’s stopping your sustainability initiatives from getting the green light, and gain useful insight into the three areas to focus on next so you can build buy-in, strengthen your influence, and move sustainability forward without burning out.

How it works

Download your “Getting the Green Light Scorecard” by entering your details below. Then score yourself 1, 3, or 5 points based on which statement resonates most in each of the 12 questions, and add up your points.
We’ll then gauge what’s stopping you from getting the buy-in and suggest improvements in these three, interconnected areas:

Influence & Persuasion

Your ability to understand how different stakeholders think and decide, and engage them in sustainability.

Resilience & Optimism

Your capacity to keep going when things get tough and lead through resistance.

Finding your Tribe

Your support network and community in the sustainability space, because change is difficult to lead alone.

Why take the scorecard

As a sustainability leader, getting the green light on your initiatives is essential to advance your projects, make a difference and feel fulfilled.
When this doesn’t happen, you can experience frustration, isolation, and even burnout; your career and projects slow down, and your impact is smaller than you’d like.

This scorecard was designed by Virginia Cinquemani, an author, accredited sustainability coach and trainer with over two decades of experience in the field.

Research from Oxford Brookes and Climate Change Coaches found that 92% of sustainability professionals now rate soft skills such as communication, engagement and influence above technical skills, yet organisations are still not prioritising soft skills development. That mismatch is damaging effectiveness and contributing to burnout.

Our own work points the same way: at Green Gorilla, we recently interviewed over 20 sustainability leaders about their capacity to engage and influence audiences on sustainability, and their answers consistently showed this capacity to be deeply intertwined with their resilience levels and the support of a network of like-minded people.

Once you take the scorecard, you’ll get some immediate suggestions, tailored to your scores, on how you can improve in each of the areas above to become a sustainability leader able to influence others with ease and confidence, while steering away from burnout.
