OUR Sustainability STATEMENT

At Ainoa, we're wholeheartedly dedicated to shaping a sustainable, inclusive future for our team members, clients, the environment, and the communities around us. Our passion for sustainability and social responsibility is deeply ingrained in every facet of our business.

We also place great importance on mental health and emotional well-being, fostering emotional intelligence and self-development through various initiatives and by creating a safe and supportive environment for our team members.

Ainoa is also committed to following B Corporation policies and guidelines, with the goal of obtaining certification by 2024.

The principles listed below guide our actions and decisions:

Caring for the Environment

  • We actively engage in carbon offsetting initiatives via Ecologi to counterbalance the environmental impact of our team's activities.

  • We keep paper usage to a minimum by avoiding printing and by encouraging digital communication within our company and with clients.

  • We cut down on unnecessary travel by embracing remote work and virtual meetings, which helps lower our carbon footprint. In line with our commitment to environmental responsibility, we have chosen not to maintain any physical offices.

  • We're mindful of our clients' carbon footprints and carefully consider the environmental implications of our campaigns and projects.

  • Embracing our sustainability ethos, our team opts for second-hand Ainoa-coloured attire, reinforcing our commitment to conscious consumption.

Promoting Social Responsibility and Inclusivity

  • We prioritise hiring individuals from diverse backgrounds, fostering an inclusive and varied workforce.

  • We empower women in leadership positions and take pride in having a predominantly female team.

  • We're a disability-friendly employer, making sure our workplace is accessible and supportive for individuals with disabilities.

  • As a member of the Living Wage Foundation, we provide a living wage for all our team members, championing fair pay and financial security.

  • We celebrate and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community by employing LGBTQ+ individuals and by offering complimentary marketing and branding assistance to LGBTQ+ and other sustainable non-profit organisations we resonate with via Connected Voice

Engaging with the Community and Supporting Advocacy

  • We educate our clients on the significance of sustainability and share best practices to help them become more environmentally and socially conscious.

  • We ask clients to supply solid evidence to back up their marketing claims, ensuring transparency and integrity in our collaborations.

  • We carefully choose our clients, partnering with those who share our values and commitment to sustainability and inclusivity.

  • Our team members actively take part in Pride events and other LGBTQ+ initiatives, both privately and as representatives of Ainoa.

Our sustainability statement is a reflection of our unwavering commitment to creating a brighter world for future generations. We continuously strive to enhance our practices and remain accountable to our employees, clients, and the world around us. 

Together, we can make a lasting, positive impact.
