Brands for Better believes that the biggest and most impactful change is created when brands unite their power; their resources, ideas, strategies, experience, and their people. We connect brands and individuals who want to create positive change, with opportunities to tackle pressing environmental and social issues in our shared community.
Our mission.
We exist to make a bigger change together than we ever could alone. The power of brands, united for better.
Our focus.
Our focus will always remain on the measurable local impact opportunities for people and planet, qualifying the results so that we continue to build on what works. But as the conversation increases and brands show their involvement, we need to focus on the multiplier effect of doing this together for better.
Our drive.
Our drive is to have a bigger impact on the local community by bringing brands and people together to effect real change. Our results-focused events challenge companies to use their intelligence and brand power to solve problems, to make a difference.
Our impact.
We’re making it easier and more impactful for brands and professionals to make a difference locally.
There’s so much to fix it’s hard to know where to begin. With the backing of some heavy-hitting brand power, the task begins to appear achievable. We help create focus and organize an effective route to action and local impact.
For employees, career work no longer has to be separate from giving to causes in a meaningful way. When we combine our professional expertise and passion we create communities where we all can prosper and thrive.
Who you are.
We’re for the individual in a company who identifies a need and fit for their organization to do better. They care about their business and they care deeply about making the world better, wearing their passion to inspire everyone around them. Motivated by conviction, this individual is our believer and our mover.
