This year, we formalised the Beautility Collective, a network of dynamic innovators and thinkers brought together by our shared belief in the power of creativity to drive positive environmental change. This collective represents the next step in our commitment to combining beauty and utility to tackle the challenges of our time (you can read more about this here).

Through a series of intimate roundtable events, the Beautility Collective has become a space for rich discussion, collaboration, and the incubation of transformative ideas. These gatherings explore how collective creativity can address environmental issues in ways that are actionable, meaningful, and scalable. While the conversations are expansive, the ideas they generate are being developed in nimble, focused ways—through research, development, and ongoing collaboration.

One of the most exciting ideas to emerge from this process is a digital tool that would help brands and organisations communicate their impact more effectively. Leveraging our expertise in visual and verbal communication, alongside the diverse skills of our collective’s members, we are exploring how to make environmental achievements more tangible and transparent. This tool could empower brands to demonstrate their contributions in an accessible and authentic way, turning data into storytelling and impact into inspiration.

We are still in the early stages of this journey. Currently, we’re in the consumer research phase, testing the viability of the tool and refining our understanding of what it could become. There’s much to figure out—whether funding will be required, how to sustain development, and whether it’s feasible to rely on donated time and expertise from collaborators. We’re open to radical and innovative approaches to bring this idea to life. The path isn’t yet clear, but the potential is immense.
