What is Sustainability?
As a species, us humans like to think that we are really smart. We've got some fairly impressive things to show for it, but we've also created some serious social and environmental problems. But there are signs that things are starting to change and that we are beginning to see the error of our ways.
People are talking about a mysterious thing called sustainability. But what's it all about? Well, its basically just about doing things carefully, so that we can enjoy the pleasures of life without causing problems in other peoples lives, present or future.
Increasingly, sustainability is becoming a key issue for businesses and society in general, as people realise that current industrial, economic and social systems are storing up problems for the future. Sustainability is not about moving backwards, but about looking forwards to new, better ways of doing things.
Scamper believe in the triple bottom line concept of sustainability, which focuses on three key areas:
- Environmental - reducing environmental damage to levels that can naturally be absorbed by nature
- Social - developing a healthy and fair global and local society
- Financial - creating sustainable business models and stable, prosperous economies
Scamper and Sustainability At Scamper we aim to do our best to work towards sustainability. We're not perfect, but we do try. We have a range of environmental, social and financial strategies to help us reduce our negative impact and give something positive back to the world. These include:
- Operating a virtual business structure to minimise our resource and energy consumption
- Buying second hand equipment where possible, and re-using or recycling as much as possible
- Using a renewable electricity supplier and offsetting more carbon emissions than we produce
- Encouraging our team to follow a healthy lifestyle
- Only working with organisations committed to working towards sustainability
- Supporting charities through donations and fundraising activities
- Minimising our financial and ethical liabilities
- Building a strong, valuable brand
