Footsprint, the first end-to-end digital sustainability change management partner has joined two influential organizations that are dedicated to tackling the world’s most pressing social and environmental issues: 1% for the Planet and the Coalition for Digital Environmental Sustainability (CODES). Footsprint is a division of Labelium, an independent digital performance agency that drives business growth through performance-driven strategies in more than 16 countries.
“We are proud to join a community of true change-makers and to contribute to the global effort to solve the social and environmental crisis at hand,” said Elisa Boivin, Managing Director at footsprint. “Through these two partnerships, we commit to different types of contributions. First, we commit to contribute through open collaboration with the CODES network of experts to tackle the challenge of redefining Sustainability in the Digital Age. And second, we commit to contribute through direct redistribution of a share of our revenue to the financing of vetted environmental projects. At footsprint, we truly believe in collaboration and cooperation to create large-scale impact, and we are thrilled to start working with these two amazing partners.”
1% For the Planet represents a global network of businesses, individuals and nonprofit organizations tackling the planet’s most pressing environmental issues by donating the equivalent of 1% of gross sales through a combination of monetary, in-kind and approved promotional support to environmental nonprofits. Members give directly to environmental causes—there are no middlemen between members and their nonprofit partners. Patagonia, Nature’s Path, Honest Tea and Bank of the West, to name a handful, are 1% members. Recipients of 1% funding include non-profits fighting for social and environmental justice, groups that are curbing plastic pollution and organizations supporting wildfire aid and developing long-term wildfire mitigation solutions.
Launched by the United Nations Environment Program, the Coalition for Digital Environmental Sustainability (CODES) is an international multi-stakeholder alliance whose mission is to advance digital sustainability, preventing the negative environmental and social impacts of digital technologies. The Coalition for Digital Environmental Sustainability (CODES) initiative is part of the broader follow-up to the Secretary-General’s Roadmap on Digital Cooperation.
“The digital industry needs to step-up its governance when it comes to sustainability if it is to play its role as an agent of change in our ecological and societal transition,” said Boivin. “Every bit of warming matters, every year matters and every choice matters. We are thrilled and proud to be working within our professional community, helping to build sustainable environmental, social and digital ecosystems of the future.”
