Mid-Weight Reporting Designer

Salterbaxter overview

Not a comms agency, not your standard management consultancy.

We are a creative consultancy at the service of sustainability, on a mission to accelerate progress to a sustainable future. We do that by harnessing the combined power of deep ESG expertise and creative courage.

We are about Progress, not promises. We help businesses set a path for a 1.5° future, unlock circular innovation, contribute to ecosystem resilience and ultimately, create value for All.

We create ambitious ESG strategies that capture hearts and minds, thus accelerating progress, innovation and growth. We set the strategy and then help activate it in a way that changes behaviours and brings everyone along – whether that’s through reporting, stakeholder engagement or consumer campaigns.

For close to 25 years we have been collaborating with clients to imagine new futures and deliver transformational sustainability strategies that are both creative and credible. We work with businesses such as P&G, Lego, Ford, Logitech, Subway and many more.

We are proud of the Progress we have achieved to date and excited for what’s next.

It takes a certain type of person to challenge the status quo and always ask ‘what if?’.
