For me, brand activism means using your position, power and influence as an organisation to create change in society. It should never be just a marketing strategy, where your voice just creates more noise, it’s an opportunity to add value and give something back. Should businesses engage in social and environmental issues? Yes, I believe all businesses have a responsibility to engage in social and environmental issues, both ethically and from a business perspective - they need to have cultural fluency and be able to adapt to societal changes to remain relevant.

While Earth Day serves as a crucial reminder of our environmental responsibility, at Open Media, sustainability is a core value we champion every single day. ♻️ We're committed to minimising our environmental impact while maximising the effectiveness of your OOH campaigns. Curious about our approach? Check out our article: https://lnkd.in/er5wJHVp This article highlights how we achieve a delicate balance between impactful campaigns and positive community relationships. ⚖️ One example? Powering down our screens overnight. This simple yet effective strategy reduces our carbon footprint while maintaining high audience reach for our clients. Let's all play our part in creating a sustainable future. By adopting similar eco-conscious practices, businesses like ours can make a real difference. #earthday

As Earth Day is recognised around the world today, it is timely for those of us working in advertising, marketing and communications to recognise the role we can all play in pushing sustainable progress forward. This article in Campaign Asia-Pacific today from Sebastian Munden and Matt Bourn gives some great pointers on what we should be doing. As they say: 'Listen to the voices that challenge our industry, from within and from other industries, and make sure your work is helping to make positive progress.' We are brilliant at persuading people to do and buy things. We need to harness that energy and expertise into helping people understand what is happening to the world around them, how their actions can make a difference and how they can make better, more sustainable choices. #EarthDay

I know it's cheesy to say, but despite our differences in political, religious and spiritual views and beliefs, earth is what we all have in common. 🌍 Beyond the feel good / do good motives behind prioritizing sustainability, my "why" continues to be focused on serving and working with brands that inspire more conscious consumerism. Today and every day, I'm proud to be a 1% for the Planet Business Member and a part of the Washington B Corp Collective , encouraging others to use business as a force for good.

Happy Earth Day everyone! 🌍🍀 My way to celebrate: increase our literacy in environmental topics. Because understanding the facts helps us grow our impact. Recently, I finished reading the great book “Not the End of the World” by Dr. Hannah Ritchie. Here's what I learned on how we can maximize our impact as individuals: 🗳️ Vote for the leaders that align with your beliefs. Because policies are far-reaching. 🛒 Purchase products that promote environmental-friendly technologies. Contribute to growing the markets for these goods and leave others behind. 👩💼 Spend your time wisely. We spend many hours at jobs in companies, so pick a career in a company that amplifies your impact. While I recognize that many don’t have much choice, there is no excuse for the ones we do have. Let's continue learning every day about sustainability. #environmental #sustainability #earthday

We are very proud of our partners at Rubbish Reusables who are working with events in the Netherlands and beyond on a mission to make them more sustainable, including working with Amsterdam Pride Main Stage this year! 🏳️🌈 If you don't know about our groundbreaking new venture Rubbish Reusables yet we are excited to share the news: RR is a new collaboration we have established with some wonderful Dutch partners focused on tackling the issues that reusable packaging systems face. We call our Rubbish Reusable packaging 'The Next Generation of Reusable Packaging' and for good reason: 1. Current reusable packaging is too often made from virgin materials and goes un-recycled at end of life, not very circular... In contrast our reusables will be made with recycled material and can be closed-loop recycled back into new reusable packaging at end of life. 2. Reuse systems are too often very inconvenient for both bar companies to operate and for consumers to engage with. We want to change this so we are focused on smart infrastructure and tech enabled deposit return systems that remove the major pain points for both operators and consumers. Making reuse an easy choice. 3. Reusable products can and should be better for the environment than disposable products, if used correctly. To ensure this positive impact is achieved we use The Rubbish Portal to track the reuse lifecycle and measure its impact so it can be properly compared with the single use packaging it has replaced. Making it easy for businesses to measure and report their improved impact. So if you're interested in #Reuse, #ReusablePackaging, and #SustainableEvents then follow Rubbish Reusables to stay up to date.
