Hjørring Municipality in Northern Denmark is engaging with their citizens and companies in new ways. They have invited everybody on a climate journey intended to translate complex climate actions plans into a shared regional conversation on climate change. We help develop the vision behind the green mindset transformation.

arctic lives
We take a deep interest in everyday lives and local lifestyles. With the Nordic Council of Ministers we have served as operators of the Arctic Opportunity Explorer - a dynamic program that supports the health and well-being of children and gender equality by engaging youth at Arctic universities to further innovation and the creation of new insights for the benefit of whole societies.

less is action
Sustainia partners with DROBE and founder Kim Balle serves as creative director on all our productions in unison with our sustainability teams. Together we ensure that any complexity results in a clear message that engages people. Kim Balle has more than ten years of experience creating engaging content and brand videos for international organisations, such as Amazon, Microsoft, Porsche, Pandora, Grundfos, Danmarks Nationalbank, Visit Denmark, Radisson and many more. His work has resulted in over 2.000 productions and content captured from 14 countries.
“It is a joy working closely with clients that prioritize sustainability and appreciate beautiful content. Today, it takes an extra effort for businesses to avoid greenwashing and this is why our sustainability experts and content producers work in tandem.”
Kim Balle, Creative Director
Example: EcoTree is a company specializing in the ecological and economic development of forests and biodiversity. EcoTree needed a main communication package, and Kim and DROBE created a main communication narrative from where the storyline was built.

Sometimes an explainer video is what does the trick. We make all sorts of animations and graphics to convey your message in the best possible manner.
Learning about sustainable solutions can be fun and engaging. With Disney & Pixar artist David Tart we developed an animation series starring an imaginary professor and his assistant as they explore the world of “Sustainia”.

Biodiversity
Flora, fauna & finance
Biodiversity
With more than half of the world’s total GDP depending on natural capital assets, biodiversity stewardship presents immense opportunities with far-reaching implications
Regulatory opportunities
Despite the growing focus on biodiversity loss from both society and regulators, many businesses continue to demonstrate limited awareness of their impact on biodiversity.
In fact, businesses are now required to measure and disclose biodiversity-related information through well-established frameworks like the Global Reporting Index (GRI), Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), and the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TFND)
Market opportunities
Forward-looking businesses recognize that the biodiversity crisis presents unique opportunities. By actively supporting biodiversity, companies can reduce costs, enhance operational efficiency, explore untapped markets, and cultivate a positive company image
Sustainia simplifies Biodiversity
In our Sustainia simplifies X series we often cover biodiversity. We invite you to reach out to increase the value of biodiversity in your communications, production, and supply chain alike

A solid foundation makes you stand out and help deliver on the Global Goals.

ESG
Win hearts & minds
ESG
We help you increase buy-in of CSRD & ESRS implementation or other ESG disciplines by communicating with both precision and compassion
How do you frame new regulations?
CSRD
Compliance with CSRD in 2024 will be based on 2023 ESG management processes, policies and performance data. Why not start with a roadmap to CSRD compliance that includes a gap analysis, compliance checklist, and communications materials that put you in the front?
Norwegian Transparency Act
Human Rights
Larger enterprises located in Norway or with business activities in Norway are legally required to openly disclose their human rights impacts and efforts for decent working conditions. We have helped companies navigate, disclose and communicate actively on the Act, and can help you too
Communicating ESG performance
