Welcome to Sustainable & Social – a curated and trusted platform for the sustainably curious. Talking the tangible and intangible value of sustainable development for the world and its stakeholders is at the heart of S & S.
Sustainable & Social was established in 2018 with the mission to democratise the conversation about sustainability and raise collective consciousness to educate and empower citizens in the pursuit of climate action.
My mission consists of 5 main areas.
S & S Mission – 5 Pillars
Educate and empower people to have the knowledge and tools to make a positive impact on the world.
Democratise the conversation about climate and sustainable development. To succeed we must be inclusive. It is a long-term challenge that affects every single inhabitant regardless of race, gender, class or geography.
Promote purpose led stewardship. The power in each of our incremental changes in attitude, can amass to something powerful in the pursuit of planetary resilience.
Share the value of sustainable business strategies. Creating long term prosperity for all stakeholders is not a zero-sum game. We must account for people and planet as well as profit.
Champion change. Act as call to action for active citizenship to spark the systemic change needed at a global policy level.
