ResponsibilityAt Positive Momentum we take both our environmental and social responsibilities extremely seriously.
Social
Each year we set aside 10% of our annual net profits and donate them to a series of causes that are typically related to child welfare and education around the world.
In 2017 we supported The Railway Children who who work in India, East Africa & the UK to help children who live on the streets.
We are also proud to continue to promote the vital work of those organisations we have supported in the past:
• 2016 – www.youngminds.org.uk
• 2015 – www.shakeyourpower.com
• 2014 – www.givingafrica.org
• 2013 – a range of 10 charities to celebrate our first decade in business
• 2012 – www.juliashouse.org
• 2011 – www.ican.org
• 2010 – www.givingafrica.org
• 2009 – www.starlight.org.uk
• 2008 – www.necat.org.uk
• 2007 – www.rainbowfarm.org
Finally we love supporting our clients many and varied efforts to raise money for causes that are close to their heart and encourage them to include us on the ubiquitous charity fundraising email lists.
Environment
We aim to limit our effect on the planet to the greatest possible extent whilst still attempting to develop a vibrant commercial business. We evaluate our use of resources carefully and endeavour to be as economical as possible in our use of collateral. For example, we don’t produce a brochure since we know these rarely get read and are therefore just a waste. We will also tend to email training material rather than produce big thick binders which are equally unlikely to be read.
In terms of travel we use public transport wherever possible and when we do fly we consider how to get the very best use from the time abroad so as to limit the need for frequent journeys. Finally, we are proud to be a multi-million dollar global consultancy that has no permanent offices! You can use all the low energy bulbs, solar panels and office recycling that you like, but nothing quite beats the environmental impact of just getting over the idea that you need an office. We use the latest technology, flexible resources and all that the 21st century world offers in enabling us to work collaboratively together and deliver brilliantly for our clients. Most importantly this approach means we have access to talent in our support team that otherwise we might not be able to access.
