Black Lives Matter
Following the brutal murder of George Floyd in the USA last week which catalysed continuous shockwaves of global solidarity, we empathise with the global movement forcing us all to examine our own place in the continuation of racial injustice. ⠀
⠀
At The Sustainable Angle we believe that racism confounds our efforts to advocate for the social and environmental justice that leads to truly sustainable development. As an organisation will take stock of our own limitations and form a deeper understanding of the connections between racial and economic inequities at the root of the world’s problems. We recognise that we need to play a more conscious and active part in tackling these issues. ⠀
⠀
Reducing our environmental impact and having a positive impact on people and planet is the only future we have as humankind, and we are committed more than ever towards our mission to be supporting and initiating projects that contribute to positive environmental and social impacts.⠀⠀
The Sustainable Angle is working right now to outline our commitment as an organisation, drawing upon the voices of our team, and that of key thought leaders to inform our active role against racism, to strive harder to action inclusivity, and to create opportunities to increase diversity.
