Create a lasting, different and better consumer sustainability proposition that is brought to life across
each of the retail partnership brands
The brief
![Page 9: Q2 national network meeting slides](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061206/5481d44eb4af9f16338b46a3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• To shape and stretch the sustainability plan for the business overall
• Define the behaviours and ways of working to be adopted by Musgrave,
our retailers and their people
• bring sustainability to life in a manner which consumers would grasp.
In essence, our aim was to create a single compelling vision for the future
of sustainability in 2020 and beyond, the objective of which was to:
• Identify the common pillars that make up that vision, outlining what that
means for the business
• Identify the key short, medium and long term implications and
opportunities.
• Embed these requirements in the Commercial/Brand Plans
The project aims and objectives

Findings for Ireland
• One in four adults at Level 1 (some at management level)
• Almost another third at Level 2.
• The literacy skills of half the adult population are inadequate for day-to-day activities in today’s society.

What is plain English?• Plain English is a way to write and present
information so a reader can understand and act on it after a single reading.
• Plain English means:– writing accurately and clearly for the intended
reader; – avoiding jargon, except for people who will
understand it; and – using clear layout and design so the information
is easy on the eye.
![Page 29: Q2 national network meeting slides](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061206/5481d44eb4af9f16338b46a3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Benefits of using plain English
It gives everyone a fair chance to access essential services.
It improves the general standard of writing. A Princeton University study showed that people regarded writers
who used unnecessarily complicated words and typefaces as less intelligent than those who used everyday language and clear fonts.
It improves accountability and compliance.
![Page 30: Q2 national network meeting slides](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061206/5481d44eb4af9f16338b46a3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Benefits of using plain English
• BT cut customer queries by 25% by using plain English (PE).
• The Royal Mail saved £500,000 in nine months by redesigning one form in PE.
• When Arizona’s Department of Revenue rewrote one letter in PE, it got about 11,000 fewer phone calls than it
had the previous year.

A few basic PE principles
• Think of whom you are writing to and why.
• Be personal and direct.
• Keep it simple and define any essential jargon and abbreviations.
• Keep sentences to an average of 15 to 20 words.
• Use a font such as Arial or Verdana and use 12 point as standard.
![Page 35: Q2 national network meeting slides](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061206/5481d44eb4af9f16338b46a3/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
How is your business communicating with
customers on a daily basis?
