Saving the world.
We take our responsibilities to this planet very seriously – and we have plans to save the world!
Our Sustainability Drive
The science is irrefutable. But like David Attenborough, we are optimistic. We can make a difference and we can encourage others to do likewise by our actions. We aim to put Sustainability at the core of everything we do and every decision we make. Sladen Consulting is full of pride to say, we are a Certified B Corporation®, joining a global community of businesses being accountable and visible by measuring our social and environmental impact. With an aim to transform the global economy into an inclusive, equitable and regenerative economic system, the B Corp™ movement puts people and the planet on an equal footing to profit. It wants to conduct business in a way that understands that we are each dependent upon another and thus responsible for each other and future generations.
The Sladen Butterfly Fund.
Talk is easy but it’s actions that count. Using the ‘earning to give’ rationale we work hard to make a profit that we can put a healthy slice of straight into the Butterfly Fund. The Fund aims to support organisations around the world who are furthering the cause of our chosen UN Sustainability Goals: ‘Clean water and sanitation’ and ‘Life below water’.
How can the Butterfly Fund help these organisations? Well, our strengths lie in engagement, change management and creating movements – which is exactly what is needed to turn the world around. Using our core skills of coaching, facilitating, teaching and consulting we want to create the change-makers of tomorrow. To nurture influential and successful individuals who together will contribute to building a sustainable and thriving planet.
We want our butterfly to flap its wings and create ripples around the world.
How we will help
The UN’s Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) should make all of us stop and consider our impact on the world and find ways to make a more positive contribution. The biggest way Sladen can play its part, is to focus on working with our ‘Sladen family’ to galvanise action and create a multiplier effect through our clients, partners and relationships.
The Butterfly Fund will support our two chosen SDGs to achieve their aims: No. 6 ‘Clean water and sanitation’ and No. 14 ‘Life below water’.
Joining the 'Race To Zero'
Sladen Consulting recognise that our planet is facing a climate and environmental emergency and that we must act. It is essential to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and we need bold, courageous, urgent and unapologetic leadership from all sectors and levels of society to make this happen.
The actions we take today will matter profoundly to the next generation and we want to play our part. Therefore, we're joining businesses all over the UK standing #TogetherForOurPlanet, part of the UN’s Race to Zero campaign.
We'll halve our carbon emissions by 2030 and end our contribution to climate change completely before 2050. Follow our progress through our Sustainability Report which will be updated annually detailing our plans for achieving this and how we are progressing.
