Sustainability
What do we mean by sustainability?
In 1987 the United Nations Brundtland Commission defined sustainability as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
Unfortunately, since the Industrial Revolution, our global leaders and mega-corporations have ignored this and instead focused on continuous growth, irregardless of the cost to humanity and our natural world.
We need systemic change to shift this course.
We help business leaders take impactful action through a people-centred sustainability strategy and roadmap towards sustainable transformation.
We go beyond helping creative businesses take responsibility for their operations, team, productions, and industry by positioning them to use creativity as a force for good.
Our Solution
Our Method
Sustainability Consulting
With over 5 years of experience, our sustainability consultants take businesses on a journey of transformation.
The process to measure and improve businesses social and environmental impact includes:
-
After a free discovery call that allows us to get to know your business, we put together a principal Sustainability Proposal to help you gain an initial understanding of your journey ahead.
-
We speak to business leaders and members of the team to learn about your story and mission and understand what matters to you and your people when it comes to social and environmental impact.
-
Each business is unique, so once we learn more about business leaders and their people we deliver a sustainability roadmap (on Trello or similar) in order to track progress, engage members of the team and ensure continuous action is taken.
-
We identify your social and environmental impact using our carbon calculation partner Climate Essentials and the B Impact Assessments procedures and principles. We provide you with the tools and resources to efficiently track and measure your impact.
-
We follow a number of processes to help you improve your impact on people and the planet, these include:
Designing and facilitating team engagement workshops
Convening, designing, and facilitating internal impact groups
Providing an emission reduction plan and net zero strategy

-
To avoid greenwashing and enable your team to communicate effectively and confidently, we advise your marketing team on what to ‘speak out’ about and how to be transparent in your language and messaging across your website and social media.
-
We help you go beyond taking responsibility for your operations, team, productions, and industry and start to use creativity as a force for good by collaborating with purpose driven brands, businesses and organisations to tell new stories and have a positive influence on people and the planet.

Our experience
Our consultants believe that the creative industries can lead the climate transition.
We are not just sustainability experts, we have worked within the creative industries and we are passionate about using creativity for good.
We understand the journey businesses must go on to take impactful sustainable action. From decarbonising operations and productions and engaging the team to raising awareness on greenwashing, ethical decision making and solution-based storytelling - we are here to guide, unite and empower.
We encourage partnerships and radical collaboration as we believe that creative businesses have the platform to unite their employees and communities and the skills to call on their industry, governments and world leaders to take the action we need.
We empower businesses to move from a competitive to a collaborative mindset to foster interdependence across the industry in order to achieve radical change.
