FIND YOUR FOCUS – 3 Steps to Sustainability Action in your Professional Life.
Concern
Like most of us you worry about what our society is doing to the climate and nature – and what it means for our families and for people across the world.
Care
You do what you can to make a difference in your personal life, but it’s more difficult to see how to make a real impact through your professional life.
Action
It’s not always obvious, but each and every one of us can champion sustainability in our professional lives without having to become a full-on sustainability expert.
We help people like you do exactly that.

We are part of nature
We are part of nature, but our culture leads us to think and behave in ways that deny this reality with disastrous results.
Sustainability leadership requires a deep emotional and psychological shift in how we understand and relate to rest of the living world.
Humans are naturally kind and caring
We live in a society that glorifies the worst of human nature, making us believe that people are inherently selfish.
This suppresses our natural instinct to look after each other. By recognising the reality that people are kind and caring we can break this vicious cycle.
We live in a world of abundance and potential
There is no fundamental shortage of the resources needed for good lives for all.
By tackling over-consumption by the few, and switching our focus to what really determines wellbeing, natural systems will recover, allowing us and the rest of the living world to flourish together.
