SUSTAINABILITY NEWS CURATION · Workflow idea

Bring relevant sustainability news together and let a person verify every story before it is sent.

Gather recent public news items, identify those that appear relevant to sustainability, and prepare a concise digest with titles, summaries, and source links. Keep the original article context, mark uncertain classifications, and require a communications reviewer to verify factual summaries, claims, audience, and final wording before distribution.

The handoff

A dated digest draft with selected stories, source links, concise summaries, and clear editorial approval status.

Keep in mind

A story may be misclassified, updated, or misrepresented by a summary, and sustainability claims can have reputational impact. An editor should check each original article, date, and claim, review the digest for balance and accuracy, and approve the exact content and subscriber audience before any email is sent.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Select appropriate news sources

Set digest and subscriber practices

Choose a useful frequency and format, maintain permission-based subscriber lists, and honor unsubscribe preferences.

Assign editorial and distribution approvers

Name who verifies each article, checks the digest and recipient audience, and approves the final send.
