Skating Panda is a creative social and environmental impact consultancy that delivers Real Impact to its clients. We believe that, for too long, much of the work labelled ‘purpose’, has been purely cosmetic, lacking any real substance. This work, whilst giving the illusion of systemic change, fails to address the fundamental shifts that need to be made within brands and organisations, in order to reach the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. At Skating Panda we believe that it is only by tackling the core that lasting purposeful change can be made to an organisation and, in turn, we can achieve our global goals. We feel that whilst cosmetic change is about saying and sometimes even doing the right thing, core change is about being the right thing. We tackle systemic problems and issues addressed by the SDGs, including health, equity, disaster and emergency, and climate by building transformative partnerships. We work with our clients to deliver real impact through: creating impactful strategies that align the organisation on purpose delivering thriving culture through operationalising purpose and values conceiving and delivering transformative creative campaigns uniting partners to build coalitions and drive meaningful change
