Communications consultancy, SenateSHJ, has launched a new practice focused on the organisational sustainability and environment, social and governance (ESG) space.

The ESG and Sustainability Practice will be headed by Josh Dowse, who joined the agency in 2020 as a Consulting Partner, and brings more than 30 years' communications and thought leadership experience in ESG, sustainability, energy and climate change.

Josh and his team work to help clients and experts identify what they want to do for a more sustainable economy, engage others and realise and report their actions and ideas.

"There are a thousand things that an organisation may be tempted to do to improve their ESG performance and profile”, Josh said at the practice launch. “We want to help them decide on the ones that will truly make a difference, and make sure they succeed.”

Senate SHJ's Group Managing Director, Brendon O'Connor, said ESG matters more and more to their clients every day: "Misinformation, rapid change and the sheer volume of transformative ESG issues are conspiring against organisations who seek to manage the issues well. Helping clients in this space speaks to our own purpose, and when we do that together we create ripples that help society in general.”
