About

'IMPACT' is spearheaded by Jess Carter; environmentalist, project manager, trainer and communications specialist. Jess and her team of collaborators support changemakers - individuals, teams and communities - to measure and present their impact in a way that inspires others. We ensure that your actions for positive environmental impact are highlighted and presented with a unique combination of authenticity, entertainment and flair. We also work on a whole lot of behind-the-scenes stuff from interviewing and impact research to logistics and events to help amplify your message and build your ethical brand.

Where once you might not have known where to start when it comes to environmental best practice, we are here to support you and your team to prioritise environmental values whilst supporting you by strategically planning the best communications approach with minimal disruption and maximal impact - the clue is in the name!

Storytelling comes in all sorts of forms from data presentation to writing to speaking to supporting forums and events and of course collecting visuals and talking to people along the way. Let us capture the essence of your impactful actions and tailor them to your target audience so you can focus on the wonderful work that you are doing.

We also pride ourselves on being committed to training and development. The commercial world is quickly adapting to the green transition - we help you and your professional community to get up to speed and feel confident in communicating your environmental credentials as well as steering your progress as the race to net zero and beyond intensifies.

WORK WITH US

PROJECTS

We work hard to trial various approaches to sustainability. We have the capability to support you both in person and online. Please contact us to plan a suitable offering to fit the needs of your organisation.

Workshops -

Inspired by a talk at a Chambers of Commerce presentation, we linked up with GA Solicitors and have created a workshop that has been delivered to all 90 members of staff on the benefits of reducing single use plastic and waste in the workplace.

"I am happy to say that we were all very happy with the day and many commented on how informative it was without being 'heavy'" - David Wallis, Senior Partner

Sustainability support -

With regular meetings and an action planning workshop, we have worked together with the team at Marsha Miles Consultancy to research their supply chain, initiate sustainable packaging solutions and ensure there is a sustainability strategy that is fit for purpose as the organisation rebrands and regularly communicates sustainable progress with their supporters.

Small business support -

We co-created an action plan for sustainable success which enabled Villages in Action to trial various sustainable initiatives.

Supporting communities -

We have been commissioned by Broadclyst Parish Council to support community leaders to prioritise sustainable actions in the community. We collected survey data from the community and will be delivering an all day workshop to make a plan on how to make sustainable progress across this vibrant and diverse suburb of Exeter.

Action planning -

We are working closely with the managers of Skern Lodge to improve environmental impact. So far they have organised a water audit and saved fresh water by using grey water to wash down wetsuits, taken on an apprentice to support the sustainability action plan, started working closely with wetsuit and equipment suppliers to investigate lifecycle analysis, trialling new materials and recycling solutions and we are working closely with the senior leadership team to make smart choices for the future.

Talks and presentations -

We can often be found presenting our ideas and support packages at business forums and networking sessions including the Chambers of Commerce, Low Carbon Hubs and to students at education establishments. We are glad to have been invited to speak to Global Sustainability Solutions students at Exeter University.

Balancing your needs and positively impacting the natural environment requires effective and strategic support to capture your story and broadcast it effectively to the right people. We want to amplify your impact through visual storytelling in a way that works for you. Let us help others see your world through the lens of a changemaker. Get in touch today and we can start to make a plan!

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to support sustainability leaders through training to upskill their community and amplify their positive environmental impact by telling their organisation's story in a way that inspires changemakers of the future.

OUR VISION

Our vision is that collectively the changemakers we work with will be celebrated, their work highlighted and others will be inspired by what that they have done to create their own positive and impactful contribution for the benefit of the natural world. We hope that we inspire the confidence needed for people to clearly communicate their environmental impact.
