PURPOSE & STORYTELLING
Purpose is your sustainability strategy distilled to its essence so culture doesn’t eat it for breakfast.
We build the sustainability narrative to drive change.
Change of any kind won’t work without a narrative. Why do I need to make a change? What do I need to change? How is the change I want to make progressing? And so on. We begin with why and we call that purpose.
Purpose is how you get people’s attention and inspire them to act. It’s foundational work for all strategies. From there you need to tell stories regularly about the progress you’re making so people keep on acting to achieve your goals.
Why Purpose & Storytelling?
What We Do
Purpose statements + strategic frameworks - Easy to remember statements and frameworks so your employees and customers know what you stand for
Reporting - Fun to read documents that share your progress with all your important people
Concepts - Engaging consumer concepts that unite your sustainability efforts with category benefits and avoid greenwash
We help you create
“Pip knows her stuff as a sustainability and purpose expert but what I really love about Pip is her sharp creativity. She is an amazing idea machine, and we always get to a much better place together, no matter what. She is clear, thoughtful and passionate about her opinions and creates the perfect creative conditions each and every time we work together.”

What We Offer
We think purpose is so critical to driving sustainable action that we co-wrote a book on it that you can find here. A purpose statement may look like 5-6 words on a page, but as anyone involved in the distilling industry will tell you, you’ve got to boil through a lot of grain and juniper to get to a liter of gin.
Our purpose distilling process looks like this - we look at the people you serve, what’s true about your brand heritage, and the impact you have in the world to define a purpose that’s unique to you. Then we bring in your team to mix in the special herbs and spices before performing the final alchemy to arrive at a statement that only you can own.
BENCHMARKING & REPORTING
Let’s take you from chore to score.
We use benchmarks to future-proof strategy.
Why Benchmarking & Reporting
ESG Ratings and customer driven reporting requirements can feel overwhelming. You want to be well rated but it can feel like a tick-box exercise that no one reads or values.
We believe far from a chore, responding to frameworks can be reframed as an exercise in future proofing your strategy. We leverage frameworks and the healthy competitive nature of scoring to help you spot trends, identify growth opportunities and secure C-Suite buy-in.
What We Do
We build the business case for action through a dose of healthy competition, showing senior leaders where you rank against your industry and key competitors. Then we break down frameworks into easily digestible chunks, walking you through each step, making the most of communicating your existing programs and identifying areas of growth. We support you with high level summaries for board level viewing and discussion.
In the past we’ve helped a billion dollar consumer goods company achieve go from D to A- on the CDP score, engaging their C-Suite leaders in the process, unlocking greater commitment and investment in strategic goals.
Some of the reporting frameworks we use include:
“Working with Pip was a pleasure, she was organized, efficient and very knowledgeable about the process. She led us through a very complex B-Corp recertification and I appreciated her help navigating the details. Pip made the process so easy, explaining different concepts, creating tables and templates, and walking us through each step. I can’t imagine working with anyone else!”
