We believe society as a whole needs to change the way it is operating. Consumers need to start consuming more responsibly and more sustainably. Policy makers have to develop policy that creates correct incentives for the different stakeholders to operate sustainably and, of course, we believe that businesses play a fundamental role in this paradigm shift. While seeking more than pure profit and acting responsibly not only towards their customers, employees and shareholders, but also towards the environment, this shift can be realised.
Today, the IT industry is responsible for about 5% of the total green house gases in the world. That is about the same level as the aviation industry, even if it draws less attention from mass media.
Bloospring has made the commitment to give one percent of its total revenues (yes, that is revenues, not profits) to an environmental NGO that has been vetted by an organisation called, you guessed it, One per cent for planet. It does what it says on the tin! (which we hope will be recycled of course!). If you have any questions about it, please get in touch and we’ll talk you through it and what it means to us.
