## Sustainability story

At RoAndCo we strive to incorporate environmental sustainability into all aspects of our studio. As an organization, we work together to minimize our environmental impact, and through our client work, we use our influence to help build more sustainable brands. In addition to our Climate Neutral commitment, we have set three overarching sustainability goals for 2022 to 2023: 1. Establish a formal workplace environmental stewardship policy. 2. Provide our team with formal and informal sustainability training — topics including but not limited to design and other industry-related facets. 3. Share our sustainability knowledge and recommendations with our clients, encouraging the brands we consult with to make environmentally responsible choices.
