Doing good together

By partnering with us, you’ll be sure of working with the leader in our field committed to helping brands minimise both their social and environmental impacts. 

We hold ourselves to ambitious Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) targets, and have received the EcoVadis Platinum Medal since 2021. 

And through our smart technology and local network of expertise, we make it easier for you to seamlessly embed sustainability practices into marketing execution.  

Some of the highlights of our initiatives include:

Partnership and education

We’re rolling out sustainable practices throughout the supply chain, educating suppliers and our teams on how to assess, quantify, and reduce their impact on the environment. We work tirelessly, too, to protect and promote human rights.

Ambitious targets

We’re focused on achieving a variety of bold, measurable objectives. These range from ensuring all packaging are reusable, recyclable, or certified compostable by 2030, to maintain our status of living wage employer this year and ensuring that over 95% of the spend we manage is placed with suppliers with valid ethical audits by 2030

Emissions reductions

We’re committed to the Science-Based Targets initiative and have submitted emissions reduction targets aligned with the Paris Agreement and achieving net zero emissions by 2040. To support this, we’re creating innovative solutions, such as our sustainability calculator. 

This is a bespoke tool to measure the environmental impact of products, including raw materials, packaging, logistics, product usage, and end of life. It allows us to assess how sustainable a product is, with quantifiable metrics for CO2 emissions, water consumption, and more. We partner with global brands who leverage our sustainability tool to assess the environmental footprint of their retail marketing and packaging.

We also work collaboratively with our strategic supply chain partners to identify how they can reduce their emissions, while all our offices globally are powered by renewable energy. 

Our promises to the planet

For over 30 years, we’ve delivered value and sustainable growth by making the right decisions for the long term. We’re proud to be awarded a Platinum Medal from EcoVadis, the renowned sustainability ratings provider.

But we’re not stopping here. We’re committed to the highest standards of corporate governance and business ethics and have a Steering Committee to review, monitor, and guide our sustainability progress. Our Global Chief Sustainability Officer updates our Board on a monthly basis on our ESG programme. We’re driven to:

Lead through

technology

We help clients build sustainability into campaign planning. Our sustainability tool is a bespoke solution which quantifies the environmental impact of physical products from design through manufacture, usage, and on to recycling. All our people are trained on the tool, which significantly enhances the sustainability of our clients’ marketing execution activities. 

Lead through

partnership

Our Assure programme is designed to instil ethical and sustainable best practices throughout our global supply chain. We invest time and resources to upskill suppliers in these areas while educating them about reducing emissions, human rights, and much more. Our suppliers sign up to our Code of Conduct to ensure integrity throughout the supply chain.

Lead through

example      

We’ve set ambitious targets across a range of areas. We are committed to the Science-Based Targets Initiative and have submitted both our near-term and long-term Science-Based Targets with the commitment of achieving net zero by 2040. Our Planet pillar will play a leading role in achieving this goal by educating our teams on sustainability, helping us to design more sustainable products, and to provide more sustainable solutions to your marketing execution requirements.
