Reckitt’s mission is to create a fairer society and a healthier planet. Every day, in everything they do, their goal is to protect, heal and nourish in the pursuit of a cleaner, healthier world. The goal is sustainable growth.
To tell this transformative story, Reckitt calls on creators around the world to produce authentic images that capture the moments when we positively impact our planet to create a cleaner, healthier world. For this brief, we would like you to capture stills or photographic GIFs that highlight those moments. It could be a photograph of a mother and daughter cleaning plastic on a beach (as pictured at right) or sustainable energy sources (see wind farm below). We want dynamic, energetic and impactful images submitted with a description describing your inspiration and how your image shows positive action for our planet.
At least four pieces will be selected by a jury at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, known as COP26. Each designer will receive £ 3,000 for their work and give full ownership to the brand.The chosen pieces will be presented at the COP26 event from October and used on Reckitt’s social media and digital channels. COP26 will bring together people from communities, businesses, campaigns and governments around the world to take essential actions to tackle climate change. It will examine global policies and daily actions. Every organization and every person can play their part in safeguarding the health of the planet. Selected work has the potential to be featured for OHO and print marketing, at Reckitt sites, and in research, development and manufacturing materials.
