Infinite Global has made a firm-wide commitment throughout 2021 to undertake, on a pro bono basis, media activity for clients that relates directly to their efforts to combat climate change. The services will be available to any retained clients. In addition, the agency has joined the SME Climate Commitment, which requires the firm to halve its greenhouse gas emissions by at least 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. “As a values-driven organization, we accept and embrace our own responsibility when it comes to this issue, and are fully committed to also supporting our clients as they strive to do the same,” said Infinite Global CEO Jamie Diaferia.
