If I can carry out my day-to-day leaving a positive impact on my surrounding environment and society why would I choose not to? The idea came from here! However, we know that there are obstacles that can make our decisions harder and sometimes simply not feasible. Through WNS I aim to help make these decisions for businesses and the public easier and more realistic. The basic principle is to always move closer to creating products, services, and business models that are simply superior to the unsustainable options available on the market. How do I do that? By ensuring that we are creating and supporting businesses that:
→Deliver on their value proposition. It is not enough to identify a need that people have, it is crucial to deliver products and services that fulfill it. At the end of the day a business is an exchange of value for money (in most cases), however value is now changing for most people as it becomes central that we create positive impact.
→Are financially feasible: It is not enough to create amazing products and services if the clients we create them for cannot afford them or if delivering this value to customers means that we cannot survive and flourish financially. Sustainable is also ensuring viable livelihoods of business owners and employees.
→Are always working towards becoming more circular and regenerative. A business is made up of systems that work together, creating systems can be a lengthy and difficult process. Steadily moving towards our goals and clearly communicating how and why with all stakeholders is something I value.
I hope that WNS can assist and support you on your sustainability journey.
Designing Plastic Out —
A big part of the work we do is to find ways to completely stop the need for plastic use in businesses. We do that through changing business models, finding-testing-implementing new materials, and developing the overall offer a business has. Materiom is one of our favorite resources for new regenerative materials.
