Sustainability at H+K
We provide expertise in social and environmental brand communications. Whether you’d like H+K to help build your strategy or you’ve already identified an issue or a cause that’s authentic to your purpose, our consultants will work with you to build campaigns that make a real difference.
Our approach is holistic and inclusive, so your consumers, employees and stakeholders are part of the process and share in creating a positive impact on people and the planet.
We recently launched Better Impact™, which is a performance strategy to empower businesses and brands to have a better impact on people and the planet. Framed around the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the new offer includes a Better Impact™ Score, which identifies which of the seventeen goals most align with a business’ performance, stakeholder values and purpose. This enables H+K’s Better Impact™ Consultants to build strategies to ensure a brand’s communications are credible and authentic.
By identifying the SDGs that most align with a brand, and providing an ongoing benchmark, the Better Impact™ Score empowers companies seeking to do their part to progress the UN’s agenda to 2030.
