Our Values
Be sustainable
We promote sustainable living, in all its meanings: environmental, economic and social.
Walk the talk, tread lightly
We will be an exemplar of realistic good practice as an organisation by: reducing our overall consumption; minimising the waste we produce; encouraging sustainable transport use by staff; and resourcing our work from local, ethical and environmentally responsible sources where possible.
Community
We support strong, equitable and sustainable communities (of interest or geography).
Address inequality
We believe promoting alternative approaches to consumption supports fairer distribution of resources.
Be practical
We should make a practical and noticeable difference to the people and communities that we work with, and the environments we live in.
