ESG X Bright8
Environmental Bright8 also believes in our ability to tread lightly on this earth and being mindful of our carbon footprint and impact. Where possible, we’re paper-free. We enjoy a workplace with large windows to draw in natural light and warmth. We provide EV charging to employees with electric cars and a cycling allowance. We’re big on recycling glass, cans and plastic. We’re not big on providing bottled water—especially when the water from the tap is of high drinking quality!
Social Our goal at Bright8 is to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. Beyond serving our clients well, we look for opportunities to give back to society through various charitable donations and social return projects. In fact, we dedicate 10% of our available resources to social return projects.
Since 2020, we have supported projects in Curaçao working with disenfranchised communities. We have recently committed to supporting Tur Mucha Mester Kome (All Children Should Eat), an organisation working to provide school children with daily meals that they may have missed out on due to poverty. Closer to home, in Amsterdam, we actively support HVO-Querido with its local food programme, StreetSmart. This programme works with local hospitality businesses to lend a helping hand to the homeless and families who are finding times hard.
Bright8 upholds DNA-based, personalised cancer research through donations to Stelvio for Life Foundation as well as to the KWF Dutch Cancer Society. Engaging in these initiatives allows us to make a dent in bettering the lives of cancer patients and their families.
Governance Bright8 is an equal-opportunity employer and we believe in talent-retention through upskilling and frequent checks to ensure the team is in tip-top shape. More than 70% of our team are women, capable, multi-talented and strong. We also support a hybrid work environment and ensure that our workplace is welcoming, bright and filled with greenery that we all try to keep alive!
We’re intentional with opening our doors for interns and new graduates to be a part of our team—recognizing their need to discover their world and grow, particularly when surrounded by high calibre PR and Marketing team members.
