Sustainability

At the Heart of Our Values

The idea of identifying, implementing, and future-proofing sustainable ways of working and living is the very ‘raison d’être’ of Impact Day; it’s what we most strive to achieve – and we do so by living our values and becoming role models for managing our own impact.

Our Four Pillars of Sustainability

  • Environmental

    Our goal is to leave as little detrimental impact on the environment as humanly possible. By adopting as many of the best environmental principles as we can, we reduce waste and promote self-sufficiency. We rent rather than buy, we advocate secure energy supplies, and by constantly monitoring data, we can manage the resources at our disposal more efficiently.

  • Social

    We’ve taken a deliberately social and societal perspective on our mission, e.g., examining how best to promote the topic of sustainability itself and generate positive and lasting impact on our surroundings. We eagerly promote diversity in participation, from across all sectors, industries, and social demographics, enabling us to foster, nurture, and evolve our Impacter community.

  • Governance

    We’ve adopted a holistic approach within our team, and we reflect that in our dealings and communication with all our stakeholders. As admirers of Laloux’s “Reinventing Organisations” principles, we aim to provide a healthy working environment that ensures positive outcomes, trusting that we give our best to each other so that we can & win and learn in a sense of unity.

  • Economical

    Acknowledgement of our economic impact is a vital element of our work. Impact Day seeks to boost local economies. Our events enable us to engage with and actively support businesses that align closely with our core values and overall mission. The estimated positive economic benefit of our 2024 event to the Estonian economy was over half a million euros.
