We believe…
- Climate change is a serious threat to the quality of life on earth and we must change our behaviour significantly and quickly if we are to stop irreversible damage to our planet, its ecosystems and the people which depend on them.
- The most effective way to bring about change is at a local level, engaging with the local community and empowering people to make a difference to their lives, their community and the environment.
- The constant pressure on corporations to grow and increase their power inevitably leads to the exploitation of staff, communities and the environment, and what we need is business on a human scale with local, community-focussed enterprises providing goods and services to people who know them and trust them.
The Big Lemon has a draft sustainability policy, which it plans to consult with stakeholders on.
The aim of The Big Lemon’s sustainability policy is to ensure that we always remain true to the ideals upon which we were founded and continue to find new ways to engage with the local community to minimise the negative effects of our society on our world and make a real contribution to the fight against climate change.
The Big Lemon is working with Green Minded, a Brighton-based sustainability consultancy, to develop this policy. If you would like to comment on the draft policy, please follow this link for the consultation questions, and return your comments by 31 December 2008 to karen@greenminded.co.uk.
