[London, UK] The PHA Group, the leading PR, digital, and creative agency, has announced the appointment of Helen Salvin to its newly created position of Head of Sustainability.

PHA has seen significant growth in its sustainability client portfolio and sustainability communications practice, offering expert positioning, counsel and storytelling for organisations while helping them navigate an increasingly complex media, societal and regulatory landscape.

This new wave of accountability presents both challenges and opportunities for organisations, and I am excited to help colleagues and clients navigate this landscape and drive positive change.”

Helen joined The PHA Group five years ago. In her most recent role as Associate Director in the agency’s Corporate division, she honed her specialism working with large-scale corporates, SMEs, decarbonisation leaders, and challenger brands across various sectors including professional services, renewable energy, FMCG, clean transport and agriculture.

Notable clients of the agency have included Octopus Energy, Suntory Food & Beverage GB&I (owners of Lucozade and Ribena), InstaVolt, Emitwise, Simply Sustainable, Open Energy Market, Everflow, Good Business and JA Europe.

From attending COP to advising businesses affected by key legislative change, Helen has been navigating the environmental and purpose-led comms landscape alongside our clients for many years, fostering a capable team that delivers strategic and savvy sustainability consultancy.
