By Michelle Wicmandy

Sustainability rarely fails in the executive suite because leaders oppose it. More often, it fails because sustainability information never enters the decisions that determine risk, capital allocation or performance. The issue is less about sustainability itself and more about communication.

By Allison Carter

By Elsie Oliver
Agility PR Solutions - February 20, 2026

Negative Claims, Topical Drift, and the Governance of Generative Visibility
