Sustainability Policy

1. Mission Statement
Femmeprenista (Thrivology Limited T/A Femmeprenista) is committed to operating as a responsible and environmentally conscious "green business". We recognise our responsibility to the environment extends beyond legal and regulatory requirements. We are dedicated to minimising our environmental impact, particularly through digital-first operations, and continually improving our environmental performance as an integral part of our business strategy and operating methods. We encourage our clients, suppliers, and all participants within our ecosystem to embrace sustainable practices.
2. Responsibility
The CEO of Femmeprenista (Carlene Nisbett) has overall responsibility for ensuring this environmental policy is implemented and promoted.
However, environmental responsibility is shared. All participants within the Femmeprenista ecosystem (including employees, contractors, coaches, clients, and community members) are encouraged to contribute to our sustainability goals through their actions and choices.
3. Policy Aims
We endeavour to:
Comply with and, where possible, exceed all relevant environmental regulations.
Continually improve and monitor our environmental performance.
Continually reduce our environmental impacts, with a focus on minimising our carbon footprint.
Incorporate environmental factors into business decisions.
Prioritise the creation and delivery of digital assets and communications to minimise resource consumption.
Promote mindful resource consumption (energy, water, materials) by all participants, both in core operations and remote working environments.
Encourage responsible printing practices across the ecosystem – print only when necessary.
Foster a culture of environmental awareness and responsibility.
4. Specific Practices
Resources (Paper, Materials):
We will operate digitally by default, minimising the use of paper in all operations.
We strongly encourage all participants (employees, contractors, clients, etc.) to reduce their carbon footprint by printing documents only when absolutely necessary.
Where physical materials are required, we will seek to use recycled, recyclable, or sustainably sourced options and minimise packaging.
We will reuse and recycle materials wherever possible.
Energy and Water:
We will seek to reduce energy and water consumption in any physical office spaces.
Lights and electrical equipment will be switched off when not in use. Heating/cooling will be adjusted with energy consumption in mind.
We encourage participants working remotely to be mindful of their energy and water usage.
The energy efficiency of new products and services (including software and digital tools) will be considered during procurement.
Travel:
As a primarily online business, we will prioritise virtual meetings and communication methods (e.g., video conferencing) to reduce travel needs.
For any essential business travel, we will encourage the use of public transport or other sustainable options where feasible.
Procurement:
We will incorporate environmental factors into our procurement decisions, favouring suppliers with strong environmental credentials where practicable.
Waste Management:
We will strive to minimise waste generation.
All waste will be disposed of responsibly using licensed and appropriate organisations, prioritising recycling.
5. Monitoring and Improvement
We will comply with all relevant regulatory requirements.
We will continually strive to improve and monitor our environmental performance, reviewing our digital-first practices and seeking feedback.
We will incorporate environmental factors into business decisions and strategic planning.
6. Culture
We aim to foster a culture of environmental awareness and responsibility across the entire Femmeprenista ecosystem.
We will involve our team (employees, key contractors, coaches) in the implementation of this policy and encourage suggestions for improvement.
We encourage all participants to consider the environment in their general usage and interaction within the ecosystem.
We will work with suppliers and contractors to encourage them to improve their own environmental performance.
We will update this policy at least once annually in consultation with relevant stakeholders.
