Planet Pledge

A plan to make marketing part of the solution

Companies across a multitude of sectors are taking action to address the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

But our industry as a whole has a conundrum to reconcile. Traditionally seen as a ‘consumption driver,’ is marketing at odds with sustainable life? Or can instead be a catalyst for more sustainable thinking and behaviours?

Planet Pledge is a CMO-led framework designed to galvanise action from marketers to promote and reinforce attitudes and behaviours which will help the world meet the challenges laid out in the UN SDGs.

Why a Planet Pledge?

The WFA Planet Pledge is a CMO-led framework designed to galvanise action from global brands in order to make marketing part of the solution.
