What we do.

Orb Media unearths global insights on how our world can forge a more sustainable future. We use journalistic craft, data analysis and networks to transform global, long-term issues of social and environmental sustainability into locally actionable information.

Our partners depend on us for rigorous and comparative global research, original data analysis, future-facing reporting, and helpful tools and assets, so they can concentrate on building useful information for — and more meaningful connections with — the people they serve.

How we do it.

Orb’s team of journalists and researchers investigate topics crucial to social and environmental sustainability.

We use a global lens of data analysis and research to uniquely view the meta-story of the human pathway to a sustainable future. Our work takes a long view across industries, geographies and cultures to better understand the world’s common challenges and, whenever possible, identify uncommon and potentially scalable solutions.

Our media products are designed to be adaptable and easily integrated in both topic and format, so that partners around the world can augment and customize the information for their audiences.

Orb’s work is inherently collaborative, and we strive to model new ways of building public comprehension through high-quality media.  

Why we do it.

We believe everyone deserves to know justice, equality and dignity. A more socially and environmentally sustainable world intrinsically delivers on that objective.

We believe everyone deserves access to information on social and environmental issues that affect their futures.

With global context and high-quality information, it becomes easier to:

  • Learn from each other and participate in meaningful civil discourse

  • Share diverse, global perspectives to accelerate sustainable innovation

  • Identify and embody an individual role in shaping a shared future

  • Make decisions that consider the impact on and the future of the communities that people live in.
