Sustainable Development Goals

Our consultancy supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals program. There are 17 goals in total, aimed to end extreme poverty, reduce inequality, and protect the planet by 2030.

‘An urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests’. -UN

The SDGs are a ‘blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all’ - UN

“International commitments, for instance towards climate neutrality, must be rapidly accompanied by transformative actions and investments”- SDG Report 2021

It is up to government, the business community and consumers in Australia to make the difference.

As a member of an organisation or a member of the general public (yes, sometimes you are both!) you have the right to ask brand owners for transparency about their products and ‘end of life’ strategies.

It’s not a blame game nor is it expecting any one organisation to have the sustainable ‘magic wand’.

If you specify a product, if you purchase a product, you have the power to change the world one selection, one purchase at a time.

In a post- COVID world, it is time to reimagine what is possible. And then act on it, with care and purpose.

Change has started.

The Albanese government has committed to a 43% reduction in emissions and a carbon zero Australia by 2050. Smart companies realise ESG practices frame a new business model.

Other industries are already making changes to their production habits. The world is now more informed than ever before and there is a belief that this is filtering down to the mass market. Consumers want to know how environmentally friendly the products they are purchasing really are. Architects and interior designers want tracking and transparency around what they are specifying and refuse to take things at face-value anymore, as the industry is flooded with greenwashing.
