GREEN GORILLA: A RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS

At Green Gorilla, we don’t just talk the talk 

 

We are passionate about not only working with sustainability-focused businesses but also about being one ourselves. And, like every business which tries to operate responsibly knows, it’s a journey.
On this page, you can read about the various actions we take and the initiatives we are involved in to try and make Green Gorilla a responsible business that operates as sustainably as possible. We’ll be sure to keep this page updated regularly so that you can stay up to date with everything we’re doing.

 

GREEN GORILLA AND THE SDGs

The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future

 

While we are obviously supportive of each and every one of the 17 goals, there are four that are particularly pertinent to our vision and mission here at Green Gorilla.

SDGS


These four SDGs help to better articulate our bigger vision here at Green Gorilla, which is to make sustainability accessible to everyone.
That’s what it’s all about.
Yes, training and coaching sustainability professionals is one of the ways we do that, but that’s just a delivery method for our bigger vision.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

We recognise that we have a responsibility to the environment beyond legal and regulatory requirements

  

We are committed to reducing our environmental impact and continually improving our environmental performance as an integral part of our business strategy and operating methods, with regular review points.
We will encourage customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders to do the same.
You can read about our Environmental Policy in detail, but here are some of the highlights in a more visually engaging way.

  

Green Gorilla is a responsible business.

 

GIVING BACK

We strive to make positive contributions to the planet and society.

We are delighted to announce our commitment to being carbon-neutral via Ecologi, which invests in tree planting and projects that remove more greenhouse gasses than our own carbon footprint puts in. Trees are true miracles of nature and many scientists say they play a pivotal role in combatting manmade climate change. Anything we can do to support global reforestation efforts is right up our street!

 

We offset our carbon footprint via Ecologi

 

Additionally, we are a B1G1 Business for Good, meaning that:

  • When we sell a copy of SustainABLE, we give 365 days of access to clean drinking water for people via solar-powered reverse osmosis.
  • When a new client signs up for our courses, we plant 3 trees to nurture the environment and save orangutans in Borneo.
  • When a new corporate client chooses to work with us, we sponsor 20 days of training for children.
  • When a woman joins one of our Women in Sustainability Herts events, we give 5 days of access to health awareness sessions.

Charities / Local Community

We provide community-level support to schools by delivering sustainability education workshops. We are also involved with our local sustainability charity, Sustainable St Albans, through which we collaborate with other members and groups and provide workshops to local children about sustainability. Topics covered so far include climate change and food waste.
