BlueGreen’s purpose is to maximize sustainability impacts in pursuit of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
BlueGreen is a new and joint communications brand of English Editorial Services, s.r.o., a boutique firm established in Central Europe more than 20 years ago, and of Gale A. Kirking and Associates, based in Madison, Wisconsin. Kirking and Associates is the general partner of a socially responsible private investment partnership with a life sciences focus.
BlueGreen builds upon the life and professional experience and values of its founder Gale A. Kirking. Kirking’s long career has encompassed agriculture, journalism and communications, entrepreneurship, investment research and management, international development, scientific editing, and responsible investing.
With solid foundations in both the U.S. Upper Midwest and Central Europe, BlueGreen aims to serve clientele from both sides of the Atlantic. Deep knowledge of U.S. and European business environments makes BlueGreen a very capable partner and bridge to build and convey SDGs strategy, compliance, reporting, and communication.
Extraordinary impact storytelling doesn’t just talk about impacts. It deepens and creates them. In communicating their sustainability efforts, our clients want to direct and inspire others to do – and to improve upon – what they themselves are doing. Sustainable development is a collective effort that can be most successful when people share ideas.
Successful SDGs reporting is both convincing and real. It must be integral to sustainability strategy and practice. Reporting also should fit the organization, its culture, and its products or services. According to your needs and vision, we will advise, design, write, publish, and promote your SDGs reporting.
BlueGreen Minute is our blog for sharing and promoting great ideas, initiatives, and solutions toward achieving the SDGs.
