Our story
“We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children” Native American proverb.
We are living in the deciding 'Decade of Action' (United Nations) where we have a choice to make both in our personal and professional lives. Do we choose to create a world that is fit for future generations, or not? Do we recognise that our choices have ripple effects far beyond the fast paced lifestyles that we lead today?
Whether your organisation is at the beginning of your sustainability journey, overwhelmed with where to begin or further along and eager to embed sustainability into your DNA, we have the solutions to support you.
As a certified sustainability consultant, we are committed to enabling your organisation on the sustainability journey that is right for you.
Our vision: A world where people and planet are put before profit, without exception.
Our purpose: Enable organisations to make positive change for future generations by defining and exceeding their sustainability goals.
Our values and guiding principles to our work:
- Bravery – change begins with the first step.
- Authenticity – greenwashing is rife, keep it real.
- Collaboration – ‘if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together’. We believe we are stronger together.
- Outrage and optimism – for the herculean effort ahead of us, holding both emotions in equal measure to provide agency to move forward.
- Long term change – nothing short sighted here. Real change is long term change for future generations.
- Interconnectedness - and interdependency of people, planet and profit.
