Our Business Philosophy — Triple Bottom Line
People, Planet, Profit — these are the three responsibilities every business must serve. At Essey Marketing, we firmly believe that success is about more than financial gain; it’s about creating a positive impact on people and the planet. This philosophy is woven into every decision we make, ensuring our work not only supports our clients but also contributes to a healthier, more equitable world.
Our Commitment to Giving Back
Essey Marketing is proud to donate 8% of our revenue to nonprofits that share our vision for a better future. While we support a diverse range of causes, our primary focus is on environmental issues. Did you know that in the United States, only 3% of all philanthropy goes toward environmental organizations? We aim to increase this number, one project at a time, by partnering with nonprofits dedicated to wildlife protection, conservation, and sustainability initiatives.
Our Vision for a Greener Future
We believe that businesses have the power to drive meaningful change. As author Ben Cohen once said:
“Without question, the balance of power on the planet today lies in the hands of business. Corporations rival governments in wealth, influence, and power.”
At Essey Marketing, we view this as an opportunity and a responsibility. By choosing to prioritize the triple bottom line, we strive to be a force for good in the world — one campaign, one donation, and one small action at a time. Through collaboration with nonprofits and eco-conscious partners, we hope to create ripples of positive change that extend far beyond our local community.
Join us in our mission to protect the planet and uplift people. Together, we can transform the way businesses and individuals approach giving back.

10 Parks, 10 Days: A Community Initiative
At Essey Marketing, we believe in doing more than business—we believe in making a difference. That’s why we’re proud to spearhead the “10 Parks, 10 Days” initiative, a 10-day journey dedicated to revitalizing Pittsburgh’s green spaces. This project exemplifies our commitment to the Triple Bottom Line philosophy: People, Planet, and Profit.
What Is “10 Parks, 10 Days”?
“10 Parks, 10 Days” is a collaborative effort to clean and restore 10 parks in the Pittsburgh area, one park per day for 10 days. Our goal is to bring together community members, local businesses, and volunteers to:
- Enhance natural beauty by removing litter.
- Create safe, inviting spaces for families and neighbors.
- Promote environmental sustainability by fostering a deeper connection to our green spaces.
Why It Matters
This initiative isn’t just about cleaning parks—it’s about strengthening our community. Parks are where memories are made, where children play, and where we connect with nature. By investing in these spaces, we’re investing in the well-being of our neighbors and the health of our planet.
How You Can Get Involved
Join us in making Pittsburgh a greener, cleaner, and more vibrant place to live. Here’s how you can participate:
- Volunteer your time: Whether it’s one day or all 10, your help makes a difference.
- Donate resources: Supplies, tools, and financial contributions ensure our efforts are impactful.
- Spread the word: Share this mission with friends and family to inspire others to take part.
Together, We Make an Impact
At Essey Marketing, success is measured by more than profits. It’s about uplifting the community and protecting the planet we all share. “10 Parks, 10 Days” is our way of giving back—and we invite you to be part of this meaningful journey.
Let’s transform Pittsburgh’s parks, one day at a time.
