Sustainability is now a critical part of business strategy, but communicating complex concepts such as recycling, the circular economy, and eco-friendly sourcing can be challenging. Explainer videos and infographics offer a solution, turning complex topics into simple, engaging visuals. At Custard Penguin, we help brands showcase their sustainability efforts through impactful visuals that drive action and foster deeper audience engagement.
Simplify Complex Ideas: Visualise Sustainability
We’ve all faced the frustration of staring at blocks of text and thinking, "What is this even saying?" Traditional content often falls short when explaining topics like sustainability or supply chain transparency. Explainer videos for sustainability take complicated concepts - like how recycling works or the lifecycle of a product - and turn them into engaging animations that are easy to follow. It’s like turning a textbook into a binge-worthy mini-series!
For example, you could create a short video that illustrates your recycling process or design an infographic that visualises your product’s journey from raw materials to store shelves. Today’s consumers care more than ever about how products are made and where they come from, so why not show them?
Engage & Retain: Visuals That Stick
It’s not just about understanding, it’s about remembering. Studies show that people retain 65% of visual content, compared to just 10% of what they read. If you want your audience to care about eco-friendly sourcing, recycling, or the circular economy, visuals are your key to success. Infographics can turn dry statistics into eye-catching, shareable content, while explainer videos can simplify complex data like carbon footprints or energy usage.
Visual storytelling keeps your message front and centre and motivates your audience to take action.
Compelling Storytelling That Inspires Action
What makes animated explainer videos so compelling? They tell stories. Every brand has a sustainability story to tell, and visual storytelling brings it to life in an emotional way that resonates with your audience. Whether it’s where your materials come from, how your processes reduce waste, or your commitment to greener futures, animation can transform raw facts into a powerful narrative.
Imagine this: you’re a food brand committed to ethical sourcing. A engaging animated video follows your product’s journey from sustainable farms to the consumer’s plate. Suddenly, your audience feels a connection to your story and is motivated to support your brand because they understand the value behind it.
Or let’s say you’re a waste management company. You could use an explainer video to take viewers through the entire process of waste collection, recycling, and disposal, showing how you divert materials from landfills and give them new life. By visually representing this process, you’re not just educating your customers, you’re demonstrating your commitment to sustainability. And that’s a story they’ll want to share.
Showcase Innovation with Visual Storytelling
Explainer videos and infographics are also perfect for showcasing innovation. Whether it’s turning ocean plastic into eco-friendly footwear or transforming old textiles into cutting-edge fabrics, these stories deserve to be told in a way that captures the imagination. Through visual storytelling, brands can highlight not just the process but the purpose behind their innovation, taking their audience along for the journey. These are the stories that inspire and help audiences connect emotionally with your brand.
Visualising Data & Statistics: Making Impact Clear
Environmental data, such as energy savings, CO2 reduction, and recycling rates can be difficult to grasp when presented as text. Infographics are an incredibly powerful tool for visualising this data, making it more digestible and impactful. For example, if your company is running a recycling initiative, an infographic can break down how much waste has been reduced, where the materials are coming from, and how much energy has been saved. This adds credibility to your brand’s sustainability efforts, turning raw data into compelling visual evidence of your impact.
Transparency Is Key: Show, Don’t Just Tell
Today’s customers are more informed than ever and want to know exactly where their products come from and how they’re made. Whether it’s explaining food provenance, the circular economy or breaking down your recycling practices, visuals are the most effective way to demonstrate your brand’s transparency and commitment to sustainability. Infographics can help you quickly highlight impressive statistics, such as how you've reduced your carbob footprint or how much waste your initiatives have reduced, making your brand’s sustainability efforts simple, digestible, and shareable.
