Our commitment
to social responsibility

 

 

Our drive to cultivate sustainable business practices is rooted in our vision to create what matters. As a global creative company, we’re committed to developing and investing in our methods, creative products and operations for the sake of people and our planet. Every day, we harness our creative community’s power to fuel the social change we want to see in the world today and tomorrow.

 

Goals for a sustainable future

 

We took a close look at the Agenda for Sustainable Development, the United Nations detailed plan of action for people, the planet and prosperity. Out if its 17 goals, we identified eight which we believe our creative community has the social responsibility to uphold, and the strongest potential to impact. Here are these eight goals and some of the initiatives and partnerships we’ve engaged in as we work towards sustainability.

More initiatives we care about

 

We endorse progressive and humanist values. To truly break boundaries in the creative services world, it’s imperative that our work environments be free of them too. Everyone must feel included and respected. Everyone must have an equal opportunity to thrive.

 

 

Our team is committed to making Sid Lee a better place — one that is more inclusive, more equitable and more diverse in terms of our leadership, communications, recruitment tools and work environment.

That’s why Sid Lee was among the first agencies to join the Time’s Up Advertising initiative and has pledged to support its creation.

 

 

 

We're convinced that, in order to create what matters, all voices must be heard, and all individuals must be represented.

Sid Lee is joining Free the Bid and pledging to give women directors an equal opportunity to bid on commercial jobs. How? By guaranteeing that at least one woman will be considered at the bidding (or pitching) stage for every commercial job.

 

 

We’re always looking for new ways to make the best impact on the causes we hold dear. Feel free to reach out to us with your ideas for partnerships, collaborations or initiatives.
