Why this belongs on a sustainability directory
Digital Storytellers doesn’t produce direct environmental or social impact itself, its role is amplifying the work of organisations that do, which gives it a specific, honest claim on SDG17 (partnerships for the goals) as an enabling partner rather than a primary actor. Its client roster, spanning international development, government policy, and philanthropic foundations, means its communications capacity gets applied across a genuinely wide range of social and environmental causes rather than a single sector.
