Business aims

To Change the World. To inspire and motivate people to live a kinder, healthier, greener, ethical life.

Passion for the Planet aims to inspire more people to think about the impact they have on the world around them and how they can make that positive rather than negative.

Business philosophies and beliefs

We are all responsible for our own actions and need to be accountable for our impact on other people, nature and the planet.

Being mindful of this and reducing our negative impact and at the same time increasing our positive impact is at the heart of Passion for the Planet.

And helping other people to do the same is our mission. We recognise that no one is perfect, but just because we are not perfect doesn't mean we shouldn't strive to do better each day. So constant evaluation and willingness to do better are key.

Business Values

To behave ethically.

To reduce our negative impact on the planet.

To have a positive impact on the planet.

To be passionate and compassionate.

Business mission

To Change the World. To inspire and motivate people to live a kinder, healthier, greener, ethical life.

Passion aims to inspire more people to think about the impact they have on the world around them and how they can make that positive rather than negative.

We don't believe that has to mean wearing hemp, knitting your own muesli or living in a cave. We believe it can mean a life that's rich and fulfilling with a healthy dose of luxury. But luxury at the expense of other people or nature isn't rich and fulfilling. So our goal is to see a world where we have 'responsible luxury'. Defining luxury is individual, being responsible must be universal. And that means understanding that everything is interlinked and being accountable for the impacts of that inter-linking.

And that's where Passion for the Planet can help, whether you listen to the radio, blog in the forum, download the podcasts or watch the TV, its all about being inspired and about discovering new ways that suit you, as individuals, to live a better life for yourself and for everyone else.

Community Relations

Community Relations is about a business in a social and economic context. A business can strongly influence the quality of life not only for employees, but also for the wider community in which it operates. It is recognised that a sustainable community promotes sustainable business.

Corporate Governance

Corporate governance is about how a business is structured and whether rights, responsibilities and duties are clearly set out and understood. These issues are critical in maintaining accountability and providing strong decision-making functions.

This section provides an opportunity for a company to indicate how it remains honest, transparent, equitable and reputable in its conduct. These objectives are relevant to any business whether large or small.

Donations and Payments

To whom and exactly how companies make donations and payments, including those to charitable organisations, professional associations and government, are extremely complex issues. It is important that companies disclose their corporate donations, publish their payments and explain what they hope or expect to receive in return.

Environment

Natural resources are vital to sustain our lives and lifestyle. This section looks at the impact business operations have on the physical environment. It is not always easy to address the challenges, but companies have the opportunity to show the problems they face and how they tackle them.

Human Rights

This section is about how businesses ensure that their operations do not violate the fundamental rights of individuals and communities at home or abroad. Businesses have the opportunity to examine this issue with regards to their own practices, supply chains and business relationships.

Marketplace Ethics

This section is about how businesses handle consumer rights and wider welfare issues. Many of the questions cover areas where there is a fair amount of legislation and regulation: it is an opportunity for businesses to show how they go beyond a legal minimum to address ethical issues in the marketplace.

Workforce

It is widely acknowledged that people are the most valuable asset to any business. In this topic, the questions are addressing the treatment of workforce. It is quite diverse but the focus is on promoting a fair, equitable, honest and supportive work environment.
