Sustainability and ESG at V Formation

The V Formation team is all about continuous improvement – and not just in our day-to-day work. We’re also fully committed to embedding Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) practices into our overall approach as a business.

We aim to empower our communities, help protect the planet and create long-term value for our stakeholders.

Environmental: making greener choices

As a hybrid agency, the team splits their time between home and the office, which helps cut down our commuting emissions by a sizeable chunk. But we’re also taking further steps to reduce our environmental impact:

  • Carbon reduction: aiming for a 30% reduction in our carbon footprint within three years, in collaboration with Carbon Neutral Nottingham 2028
  • Paperless office: working towards a fully paperless environment by 2026
  • Shared values: partnering with environmentally conscious clients and suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability

Social: empowering communities

Our people are our greatest asset. We’re dedicated to:

  • Employee satisfaction: we are proud of our 100% staff retention and strive to maintain our employee satisfaction levels at 95%
  • Professional development: we are dedicated to the ongoing training and development of our people
  • Community engagement: building on our previous charity initiatives by introducing an annual volunteering day and partnering with one local nonprofit or community organisation a year
  • Professional community: empowering the team to give back to fellow marketing professionals through skills-sharing, mentoring, and networking

Diversity and inclusion

V Formation is an equal opportunities employer, recruiting individuals based on merit, capability, and skillset. Our aim is to nurture and maintain a supportive working environment where every team member feels valued and respected.

Measuring what matters

We understand that ESG is an ongoing journey, and there will always be areas for improvement. Our efforts are led by our internal ESG champions who drive our progress and report on our activity, ensuring we remain aligned with our goals.

“Being part of the ESG team is a really exciting opportunity to be able to help shape the direction of V Formation, uphold our values, and make a meaningful impact in our communities. I’m proud to be part an agency that takes accountability and is actively working towards a more sustainable future.” -Susie Jeffrey, PR and Marketing Executive
