Our commitment to sustainability.
A message from our founders
We are focused on making the world a more equitable place. As an organisation, we align to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). and strive for our services to positively impact:
Goal #5 – Gender Equality and specifically 5.5: “Ensuring women’s full and effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision-making in political, economic and public life”.
Goal #10 – Reduced Inequalities and 10.2: “to empower and promote the social, economic and political inclusion of all, irrespective of age, sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion or economic or other status”.
In pursuit of these goals, we established a time-matched solution for executive coaching. Each time a client company engages us for executive coaching, we offer a time-matched coaching engagement with a diverse future leader in the client’s organisation. This enables socially aware companies to accelerate a pipeline of diverse talent for more senior roles.
We equally know we can’t change the world alone and so we’re committed also to:
Goal #17 – Partnerships for the Goals. We provide our services on a pro-bono basis to the leaders of non-profits sucha s NGOs, charities and advocacy groups. We also offer discounted pricing on our services to B-Corporations, organisations that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance.
Finally, we are committed to transparency in these goals and each year we commit to publish a report on our sustainability efforts.
