How on Earth to focus on sustainable business behaviour change
Sustainable business models are ‘about opportunity’, says Corporate Culture’s John Drummond
Corporate Culture has launched How on Earth, an offshoot of the communications agency that will deliver behaviour change campaigns and sustainable business strategies for businesses. Corporate Culture emphasises the growing commercial imperative of developing long-term sustainable business models.
29 November 2013 – New brand ‘How on Earth’ has launched today in response to continued growth in the market for services that promote sustainable behaviour change by businesses, consumers and citizens.
‘How on Earth’ is the new sustainable behaviour change arm of Corporate Culture – one of the UK’s leading agencies for behaviour change, strategic marketing, sustainable business and corporate responsibility programmes. Corporate Culture operates nationally and internationally from offices in London and Liverpool.
“We’ve built a track-record for helping deliver high-profile public campaigns such as Love Food Hate Waste, Recycle Now and Love Every Drop, which have changed the behaviours of millions,” said Corporate Culture Chairman John Drummond. “For example Love Food Hate Waste helped reduce food waste by 21 per cent, saving UK consumers GBP13billion between 2007 and 2012 and local authorities £85million in landfill taxes in 2012 alone.”
“We’ve also worked with businesses such as ASDA, BT, Sport England and big pharma brands on groundbreaking projects. More and more companies are looking to develop sustainable business models for long term success and, as a part of this, behaviour change is not only a social imperative but a commercial one too. This is an exciting evolution in which innovation can thrive – and innovation leads to new revenue streams. This is more than managing risk. It’s about opportunity.”
‘How on Earth’ was developed after an extensive round of consultation with existing clients and marketing practitioners. It has also been informed by insights from the national Motivating Millions research survey of leaders in sustainable behaviour change including marketing and communication heads, conducted with partners Guardian Sustainable Business, Business in the Community and ComRes.
“Motivating Millions confirmed the growing demand for evidence-based marketing and communications that focus not just on what people know, but on their specific barriers and motivations,” said John. “‘How on Earth’ is designed to build on our reputation as the UK’s leading sustainable behaviour change agency, and to accelerate our visibility as the go to business for helping companies deliver commercial and social impact.”
‘How on Earth’ will focus on delivering behaviour change campaigns, sustainable brands and sustainable business strategies for clients across the private, public and third sectors. The Corporate Culture name is being retained, operating alongside ‘How on Earth’, but focussed on facilitating internal transformational change for businesses and organisations. It already provides services for clients such as Aggregate Industries, AstraZeneca, Biffa, National Grid and others.
Concludes John: “The Corporate Culture brand has been built over 25 years and is incredibly strong. Our expertise in employee engagement, organisational change and stakeholder communications is in demand and retaining the Corporate Culture name, within a new Corporate Culture Group structure, will ensure that we remain at the forefront of this interconnected market.”
