B2B Social Impact Consulting

Social Impact Consulting by sleepy elephant supports companies in achieving business success while making a meaningful contribution to society and the environment. Through clear, consistent communication and effective implementation, social and environmental responsibility is strategically and credibly integrated into business strategy. The goal is to embed social impact as a lasting part of both brand identity and company culture.

It is designed for companies that want to go beyond one-off CSR initiatives. The offering is aimed at brands seeking to embed purpose into their business for the long term, regardless of industry or company size.

Typical topics include:

• Which social or environmental initiatives genuinely align with our brand?

• How can we avoid greenwashing?

• How can engagement be authentically embedded internally and communicated credibly externally?

• How can business objectives and social impact be effectively aligned?

Depending on individual needs, the consulting may include:

• Development of a purpose and impact strategy

• Identification of suitable projects and partnerships (e.g. NGOs, foundations, educational or environmental initiatives)

• Design of purpose-driven models such as corporate foundations or impact programmes

• Integration of responsibility into brand strategy, communication, and company culture

• Support throughout the entire process, from initial concept to implementation

The approach is practical and entrepreneurial. The focus lies on brand-aligned solutions with real substance, not theoretical reports or symbolic initiatives. We focus on effective models that are both economically viable and genuinely credible.

The consulting is led by Tessa Gerlach, an entrepreneur with many years of experience in building purpose-driven brands. As co-founder of Elephant Gin, she helped establish a for-profit company with a strong charitable core, including its own foundation and an internationally recognised brand reputation.
