SUSTAINABILITY 23-24
In 2023, we focused on improving practices in our office environment whilst also looking ahead to assess our carbon footprint. Using nudge science, we’ve made small changes across our spaces to get the team to be more green and improve our office environment.
We're going green on many things, including our cleaning, waste recycling whilst also reducing printing, to buying B-Corp, Fair trade and local ethical suppliers for our food and drink.
See below our goals for 2023 and what we did as a team to work towards them...
Across 2023, we aimed to:
1) Investigate a carbon footprint assessment
2) Reduce, reuse and recycle
3) Source local products and invest in the local community
Across 2023, we:
- Improved our in-house recycling system, making it easier for staff to recycle and introducing facilities to recycle soft-plastics
- Switched all office cleaning products to green, eco-friendly alternatives
- Partnered with Malawian Coffee, a local supplier who’s ethical practices support the development of Malawian farmers and trade with the UK
- Sourced all office produce from fair trade, B-Corp, or local and ethical companies
- Partnered with a local print supplier to produce a wide range of our in-house products
- Signed up to an ink cartridge recycling scheme for in-house printing
- Increased the life span of our products by looking for higher-quality materials across our range of in-house tools
- Replaced our small plastic Spotlight mats with cardboard alternatives
- Increased awareness around the team around the impact of our business on the environment
IN 2024
Across 2024, we aim to:
1) Continue to reduce impact when ordering resources for internal use and for creating our in-house products by considering where and how we order, store, and produce
2) Assess our carbon footprint
3) Improve awareness and educate the Mindflick team around how they can become more sustainable in the work place but also when at home
