Helping global brands


become sustainability leaders.
OgilvyEarth is a unique network of several global Ogilvy
companies: Ogilvy & Mather, Ogilvy Public Relations,
OgilvyOne, OgilvyAction and OgilvyEntertainment.
We work with visionary companies that want to make
sustainability a growth driver for both their brands
and the communities they serve.

We believe that sustainability is the new path to


prosperity, and in the power of communications to
change everything. Sustainability is the growth
opportunity of the 21st century. It’s not just about
being “green,” it’s about doing more with less.
And it’s the corporations—the dominant institutions
today—that hold the power to be change agents.

We help the world’s biggest brands, including


Coca-Cola, Unilever, DuPont, Environmental Defense
Fund, Kraft, IBM, WWF and the United Nations.
And we’re prepared to bring all of our accumulated
knowledge to bear on your company.

Corporations are
the change agents.

It’s not far-fetched, it’s the new reality. For better or worse,
corporations are the dominant institutions of the 21st century.
But in an era when 73% of Americans think that corporations
should be doing more, and only 1% say they trust corporations
most as a source of information,* you’ll need to craft your
communications carefully.

embrace sustainable practices, too.

What was crafted:

employee volunteers, that encourages simple behavioral
changes at work and at home (e.g. turning off lights when not
in use).

What resulted:
Company-wide consciousness and a culture shift toward
conservation with tangible results. In its initial launch phase,
the campaign attracted hundreds of employees worldwide, who
are now helping their fellow employees take on a variety of
green challenges in their company on a region-by-region basis.
