InnovateOur Planet

A pledge to sustainability

InnovateHer is pledging to change our world for the next generation.

Our commitment to sustainability is a promise to the future generations we strive to empower. Through a journey of continuous learning and authentic transparency, we pledge to fulfil our duties in harmony with the planet and its inhabitants.

Our promise encompasses four key areas – People, Planet, Students and Partners – taking on the responsibility to make measurable and impactful change.

People

Planet

Students

Partners

InnovateHer recognises the role that we can play in influencing behaviour; through engaging with our community of partners, ambassadors, schools and students.

Through the creation of this pledge, we will set clear, long-term targets for our people, planet, students and our partners.

We have the opportunity to help embed sustainable decision-making, but in order to achieve this, we must first embed sustainability across our organisation.

Year 1 Commitments

People:

• We will explore how we can reduce our digital carbon footprint as a remote organisation.
• We commit to embedding continuous learning into our work-life, supporting us to build our sustainability strategy.
• We will appoint sustainability champions to hold us to account and ensure we are embedding our learning in to our delivery.

Planet:

• We will focus on using local suppliers, and shopping responsibly, focusing on cruelty-free and ethical organisations.
• We will reduce our use of non-recyclable items where we can.

Students:

• We will integrate ideas on sustainable technologies and climate role models into InnovateHer Online content, sharing our knowledge and inspiring the next generation to consider sustainable practices.

Partners:

• We will review who we bank with, making the switch to green banking and moving away from organisations perpetuating the climate crisis.

Our pledge for our first year is one of learning and creating foundations for our organisation to develop.

Through our community of partners, ambassadors, schools and students, we have the opportunity to influence sustainable decision-making across a wider community, but this journey starts internally be embedding our goals into everything we do.
