Schuttelaar & Partners
We are the public affairs and communications consultancy, that strives to make the world more healthy and more sustainable. With strategic advice, contextual expertise and surprising communication. We live in a beautiful world where, through partnership and collaboration, we have achieved great things. We also have the time and freedom to enjoy them. We thus look at the world surrounding us with respect. Yet we do acknowledge that the world is fragile and that much still needs to be done to lay the foundation for our future. We strongly believe that together we can lay this foundation, to maintain this beautiful world and handing it over to next generations intact and with a pride. To do this, we need to make use of modern science, up-to-date knowledge and technology. We also need to work on influencing stakeholders and changing consumers’ behaviour. In doing so, we take a multi-level approach. We do not only look at the interest of society as a whole, but also at the health and well-being of individuals. We like to take responsibility and accept the challenge to provide guidance to actors of society. Furthermore, we believe that we can make this world better by working together and by creating sustainable solutions. These solutions need to be communicated convincingly in a future-focused and pro-active manner. Through this approach we can balance welfare and well-being and thus positively impact both individuals and society. We are supporters of solutions in which the positive effect of new behaviours plays an important role. Positive Impact is a term we embrace wholeheartedly.
