Based on the scientific facts and our lived experience, we believe that the world faces a worsening Climate, Ecological and Social Emergency and near-term threat of systemic breakdowns that will fundamentally effect our way of life.
We believe that the impacts this will have through many strands of our society and economy, let alone environment, will be permanent and far reaching.
We also believe that solutions to these threats exist and that it’s possible to operate an economic system where people, planet and profit can all co-exist and thrive. But in order to unlock these opportunities, we need to act urgently to reconsider business models and operating systems in the context of those threats.
Being part of the solution is what drives us every day and is the context for all our work.
We have used this declaration fundamentally to realign our business and accelerate our efforts in the transition to a net positive economy. Our redoubled efforts focus on:
In our own operations, we are already a low impact business but also commit to setting a realistic target date, by 2030, to reduce or eliminate our GHG emissions.
