Wright Communications Limited

Company Statement

We help our clients position their businesses in the new carbon constrained economy. We leverage the CR activity our clients are already doing and challenge them to become better corporate citizens while increasing their business efficiencies.

We have experience guiding companies through Landcare Research’s carboNZero programme and we work closely with our clients to reduce their carbon footprints. The up-side of this environmental consciousness is an increase in staff retention, reduced operating costs and new product and market development opportunities.

CR strategies

	We develop CR strategies that enhance our clients’ reputations among their key stakeholders.

CR charters, policies and codes of conduct

	Depending on the level of process requested, we can develop internal documentation to support our clients CR positioning and that also guides the strategy and tactics.

	We assist many of our clients with the development of environmental policies.

Not-for-profit and community partnerships

	We assist not-for-profits with raising awareness and helping them reach their fundraising targets through innovative marketing communications campaigns and sophisticated media relations activity.

	Some of our corporate clients request our assistance in facilitating relationships with their local community or environmental groups. Once these relationships are established we organise and leverage staff and customer engagement events.

Sustainability storytelling

	Using our media management skills we can leverage your sustainability story in the business, consumer and trade media.

	We help our clients communicate and leverage their sustainability targets and performance internally and externally.

Triple bottom line reports

	We have years of experience writing Annual Reports but increasingly our clients look to us to provide integrated reports that also report on the non-financial performance of the company. We are trained in using the Global Reporting Initiative (G3)

Sales tool kits

	Many clients seek our assistance in leveraging their sustainability positioning in sales materials such as: brochures, company profiles, relationship building initiatives, and we often get asked to draft tender response documents using our knowledge of the subject area and our persuasive writing techniques.

Our Sustainability Story

Wright Communications is actively participating in Landcare Research’s carboNZero programme. We have measured and reduced our greenhouse gas emissions in respect of our communications consultancy operations.

Involvement with the carboNZero programme centred on taking responsibility for our own carbon footprint so it can be actively managed going forward.

Many of our clients are also pursuing carbon neutrality, so it was essential to understand the process first hand. Having completed the programme, we are in a strong position to share our understanding and assist clients with reduction strategies and reporting requirements.

Some of our own actions through the programme have included:

	Purchasing a low-emission Smart car for staff travel to client meetings.

	Setting up a Navman inside the Smart car to help us ascertain the quickest route to each meeting to ensure the smallest amount of fossil fuels are used for each trip.

	Turning computers and office equipment to stand-by mode at the end of each business day.

	Appointing a sustainability strategist to assist our clients and our own business.

	Joining the Sustainable Business Network, New Zealand Business Council for Sustainable Development and more recently, the UNEP Climate Neutral Network.

	Using a printer that is ENERGY STAR certified and has several features that helps our team conserve resources including: duplex printing and the utilisation of draft printing mode to save ink and paper.

	Recycling newspapers, office documents, used toner cartridges, mobile phones, and glass and plastics.
