©Copyright 2012 B Lab. All rights reservedAbout Thinkshift Communications
Thinkshift creates communications programs that build credibility for clean tech and sustainability-focused businesses and nonprofits. They tell their clients’ stories in a way that moves the people they need to reach—and gets them the attention they deserve. They believe that businesses should not only do no harm, but actively do good.
We became a B Corporation to join a community of businesses that share that belief and hold one another accountable to it. By sharing resources with fellow B Corporations, learning from them, and promoting them, we can help change the way people think about business.
Our future—and our society’s future—rests on achieving sustainability in all aspects of life, from resource use to the economy to social structures. That’s why they’re dedicated to helping clean, green, and otherwise world-improving clients succeed.
The Change We Seek®
Thinkshift’s mission is to help sustainability-oriented businesses and nonprofits achieve their goals by communicating about their work in ways that motivate action. Ultimately, they aim to help create a more just, sustainable world by supporting enterprises dedicated to clean technology, resource-conserving products and services, management for social benefit, and environmental conservation.
Thinkshift aims for sustainability in every sense of the word: in communications strategies that sustain clients’ growth, in tactics clients can sustain over time and materials produced sustainably, and in their own operations. Their commitments include:
• All their clients are managed sustainably and/or provide products or services that advance sustainability.
• When choosing suppliers, they favor sustainable and local options.
• They minimize their resource use by telecommuting; always using public transportation or carpooling; favoring teleconferencing over travel; reducing waste and recycling and composting when possible; using green products; and using energy carefully.
• As members of 1% for the Planet, they donate 1 percent of their annual revenue to environmental organizations.
