While creating the iconic language for the 17 Global Goals for the UN in 2015, Jakob Trollbäck founded The New Division, a strategy and communication group dedicated to sustainability. Based in Stockholm, we are working with companies, organizations, governments and academia to build strategy and communication for a sustainable future.

Our Philosophy

There is only one future and it is sustainable. That is not an opinion, it is a scientific fact. To build that future, we must all make active choices. But a better world can not be built in isolation. Organizations, governments, corporations and citizens - everyone has important roles to play. Guided by the desire to communicate important and complex issues in understandable ways, we are committed to help everyone play their part.

We translate the language of organizations and governments into clear messages that everyone can understand and act on. We promote the commitments of companies that embrace sustainable business practices. And we create engagement and action around important issues; not only sustainability, but also equality, inclusion and the importance of open societies.

What people say

“Creating the beautiful icons for the Sustainable Development Goals was a simple idea that has delivered enormous impact. Without the icons and Trollbäck + Company’s tremendous work on visually telling the story of the Sustainable Development Goals, we simply would not be where we are today.”

Cathy Calvin

President and CEO of the UNF

“Trollback took the epic, technical, impersonal detailed complexity of the Sustainable Development Goals and made them clear, passionate & accessible. A crucial, life-saving, game-changing, history-making piece of work. You can’t fight for your fights if you don’t understand.”

Richard Curtis

Screenwriter, film director and philanthropist

“The genius of the work that Trollbäck did was to create for the Sustainable Development Goals a visual language which communicates with the greatest simplicity the plan for the planet. The beauty of the design belies the brilliance of the intelligence behind every choice of favellas, catwalks to conference rooms.”

Corinne Woods

Director of Communications at World Food Programme
