The Ethical Agency
Brand Development undertaken by The Ethical Agency
Foundation
What & why: Why your brand exists, where it's going, what it does daily, and the principles that govern how it behaves.
PURPOSE
We exist to help organisations that care about people and planet communicate their work to the wider world – clearly, effectively, and with the quality their missions deserve.
VISION
Within ten years, every major environmental and sustainability organisation will have access to world-class creative communications that match the urgency of their mission. We exist to provide them.
MISSION
We help organisations that care about people and planet communicate their work to the wider world through design, digital and video.
THREE VALUES
Transparent by default ‣ We share our reasoning, our costs and our constraints openly. No surprises.
People and planet weighed first ‣ Before we recommend a platform, a format or a supplier, we ask what the impact is on people and the environment.
More work than the brief asks for ‣ We treat every deliverable as if our name is on it ‣ because it is.
