Impact
The Edelman Impact practice is an established global expert network centered on global issues that all companies should consider, including regenerative agriculture, food systems, circularity, plastics, future mobility, energy transition, disinformation, and the ethical use of AI.
Edelman Impact. Change won't wait.
Impact at its best is simple. It’s a mindset – the choice to make a difference. And when you get past the noise, it’s just good business.
Because stripping away the noise, if you aren’t leading change, someone else is.
We are a global practice of seasoned Impact professionals, hungry for action and driven by optimism. We serve courageous leaders in sustainability, communications, brand marketing, human resources, government relations, strategy, finance and operations.
Edelman was an early mover and for two decades our clients have defined and advanced award-winning impact work that has set the pace for others to follow.
We have now entered a new era. Demand for impact – from employees, customers and decision elites is increasing, not decreasing. An erosion of trust in institutions demands a new approach, demanding more of us all.
Edelman Impact takes on the toughest issues and most ambitious briefs. We thrive where ideas, audiences and ideas collide. When the problem is difficult to define - or the answer feels out of reach - we don’t shy away. Wherever you are in your brand or enterprise journey, we are here to help you navigate today’s challenges shape a world fit for tomorrow.
We can help you with
Impact, Sustainability and ESG Strategies
We want to help our clients grow responsibly. We can help you to analyze and define your priorities, develop your company’s strategy and plans, and act on and communicate those priorities in a way that builds trust and drives lasting, measurable impact. This can be at the board and management level or for specific business units, brands, products or executives. We never leave our plans on paper. We bring them to life.
Navigating Policy and Engaging Governments
Our Impact network comprises dedicated public affairs advisers. Ex-diplomats, regulatory experts, and professionals with global government experience specialized in simplifying complex government systems and multinational organizations, identifying ways to drive change on the most pressing global and local issues.
Regulatory Advisory, Reporting and Disclosure
Financial communications are central to building and maintaining trust. Edelman Impact includes a global team of experts offering top-tier services in strategy, capital markets, global disclosure regimes and shifting stakeholder expectations relating to ESG. We can help you develop and implement sophisticated ESG strategies to manage risks, seize opportunities, and build trust among stakeholders.
Defining and Activating Purpose
The meaning of Purpose has shifted in recent years, but the need for it has not. Most employees expect to work for a company or a leader with a clear purpose beyond making profit. And 84% of people globally report the need to share values with a brand to use it. If you have not defined your Purpose yet, or your business focus has changed, we guide you through the process of discovering and defining an organization-wide, company purpose that can help you grow with meaning.
Creative Campaigns to Ignite Action
Policy is just one way to drive change. Creativity inspires action. Edelman Impact is one of the most awarded agencies in the world for its creative, purpose-driven campaigns. We can help you craft integrated campaigns that deliver transformative societal change while also driving sales. We don’t apologize for uniting impact and commerce, because when people buy products with purpose, companies think differently and act with more ambition.
Expert Counsel on Complex Societal Issues
As the world’s #1 independent strategic communications firm, we understand the hot issues that cause controversy. If you aren’t sure which issues you need to worry about, or how to handle them when a crisis threatens, Edelman Impact provides issues sensing and strategic guidance built on deep understanding of your industry and social dynamics. Always starting with data and insight, we can help you navigate deeply polarizing issues at the speed of culture.
World-class Data, Insights and Research

Edelman Impact includes a borderless global team uniting the best minds in research, analytics, performance marketing, behavioral science, econometrics and data. We combine human expertise with the newest innovations in AI and technology to strengthen our clients’ stakeholder relationships and create the connections needed for driving lasting impact.
