Full Credential Description
Sustainable Ventures, a leading provider for the transition to a zero-carbon world, faced the challenge of effectively supporting entrepreneurs in the climate tech sector while addressing environmental and social impact issues. To tackle these niche issues, they embedded Bioregional’s One Planet Living framework into their community operations. This framework served as a roadmap, allowing Sustainable Ventures to tailor their offerings to meet the specific needs of their members and enhance their overall impact on sustainability.
The tailored solution included a comprehensive action plan with ambitious goals aligned with science-based targets for carbon footprint reduction, exceeding the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) requirements for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Specific initiatives included a wellness program to support mental wellbeing and social interaction, an air quality monitoring study set to report findings by December 2025, and a community engagement survey targeting a 25% response rate to measure wellbeing and participation.
In terms of quantifiable results, Sustainable Ventures aims to achieve a 10% year-on-year reduction in carbon emissions from business travel and commuting. They also set a goal to enhance urban biodiversity through nature-related volunteering initiatives and committed to sourcing 100% of their food sustainably by Q4 2025, with annual supplier audits to ensure compliance. These targeted actions demonstrate Sustainable Ventures' commitment to creating a thriving ecosystem for innovation while actively addressing the pressing challenges of climate change.
