A company strategy focusing on sustainability has many benefits - it can add brand value, meet consumer demands, increase efficiency, attract valuable talent and create new opportunities. Marketing agencies have the opportunity to breach the gap between knowing and doing in sustainability as their inherent purpose of connecting with and engaging communities can help inspire not only clients but consumers to make a behavioural change. So many brands and their leaders are aware of sustainability, fewer of them have a plan in place for it and the fewest amount actually take action.
