Young Folks Sustainability Actions

Certified B Corp operations

Responsibility isn’t an afterthought around here. We’re a certified B Corp, so it’s baked into every part of our business from the ground up. Sure, we’re not claiming to be perfect, but we’re on a journey of constant progress.

Measured and offset emissions

We measure our greenhouse gas emissions via Workiva Carbon and offset any unavoidable emissions. We use carbon neutral website hosting, servers, and drives. We also opt for virtual meetings with our clients to minimise air travel, and if we need to fly, we’ll fly carbon neutral.

Paperless office and waste sorting

We work from The Commons Cremorne, a B Corp certified coworking space powered by renewable energy. Our office is paperless, and we sort our waste by single-stream recycling and composting.

Community giving and volunteering

We donate 5% of our time, skills, and a percentage of our revenue to give-back initiatives, including committing five percent of our time pro bono to supporting brand campaigns for social justice and environmental conservation causes. We donate one percent of revenue to 1 Percent for the Planet, to help verified charities protect the natural environment and support communities.

Paid volunteer and internship support

We run paid volunteer days for our team to help local organisations, and offer paid internships and traineeships for those getting started in the industry. We’re also members of ACON’s Welcome Here Project, and celebrate, support, and value diversity in all its forms.

Wellbeing policies for staff

We’ve implemented policies to support their health and wellbeing, including quarterly wellbeing days, outdoor walking meetings whenever possible, and planning our workload capacity on six billable hours a day to promote recreation and balance. We support flexible work, and offer a work from anywhere policy for six weeks a year to promote work-life balance.

Training and learning budget

We invest in coaching, mentoring, and training to foster high performance within our team, and take a strengths-based approach to leadership, supported by monthly one-to-one meetings. We have a yearly $2k budget for each member to invest in their personal development and learning, as well as access to online resources for up-skilling.

Responsibility agreement for clients

All of our new clients are required to share how they’re accountable for their social and environmental responsibility by signing a responsibility agreement. By doing so, we ensure our team’s skills are only used to amplify the impact of brands working in alignment with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

Supply chain partner vetting

We also vet our supply chain partners to minimise our carbon emissions, and only partner with suppliers with aligned values.
