Firm Description

#SustainablePublicAffairs is a first of-its-kind public affairs agency that only conducts business that has a positive impact on the environment.

It assists companies and organisations that go beyond current environmental standards and that want to raise those standards to gain a competitive advantage and capitalise on their sustainability lead.

It helps such “sustainable frontrunners” make their practices the market norm through EU policy, and only lobbies for cases that have climate positive impact.

Its mission is to foster policy-driven growth for sustainable business cases.

These are more than just words: #SustainablePublicAffairs is the first EU public affairs agency to have its positive impact on society and the environment certified by B Corp.

Check our #SustainableCharter on the website for more information.

We support sustainable frontrunners in the following areas: Agri-food, Sustainable finance, Sustainable Transport, Energy Storage, Carbon Direct Removals, Industry De-fossilisation, Sustainable Build Environments and Circular Economy.

With our clients and other mission-aligned actors we sit and work together to raise the bar on EU climate and environmental policy out of #SustainableHub – also known as the Permanent Representation of Sustainability to the EU.

Ownership Structure

Key Strengths

#SustainablePublicAffairs’ unique approach is based on three key pillars:

• Quality: #SustainablePublicAffairs attracts the best consultants, as today’s top talent is motivated primarily by working for a purpose.
• Impact: #SustainablePublicAffairs focusses on sustainability across the piece and only works on cases where it can have a significant positive impact. This helps transversal thinking across different aspects related to sustainability, leading to better, more creative approaches for clients – and hence more positive impact.
• Authenticity: Choosing to work with #SustainablePublicAffairs demonstrates a clear intention of its clients: they want to “walk the talk” on sustainability and avoid conflicts of interest. This integrity helps them build trusted connections with EU Institutions and other relevant stakeholders and comply with CSRD and other due diligence – and green public procurement requirements.

Thought Leadership

#SustainablePublicAffairs is the first purpose-driven public affairs agency that only takes on climate-positive cases and is guided by its #SustainabilityCharter. This pioneering (thought-)leadership has been recognised by and featured in news outlets like Politico and Le Monde, and by clients and fellow thought-leaders on several other occasions. The insights of #SustainablePublicAffairs are regularly reported on in Carbon Pulse, MLex, Financieel Dagblad, and other leading media. #SustainablePublicAffairs also takes a keen interest in academic thought leadership – an example being its contribution (as only the public affairs agency) to the Concurrences handbook on Competition Law, Climate Change & Environmental Sustainability.
