A week ago today we headed to the Social Enterprise Scotland summit 2024 in Edinburgh 💼 A really great day full of engaging speakers including first minister John Swinney MSP and really interesting subject matter from member such as Studio Lutalica, Universal Truth CIC, Social Stories Club & social enterprises/partners from all across the country including Braw Talent, The Democracy Collaborative, Brag Enterprises, Community Enterprise & many more! 🏭

We're thrilled to announce that Studio Lutalica is now certified as a People and Planet First social enterprise! This certification is a great way of affirming the work we’re doing to ensure our way of working reflects our values. Thank you to Good Market for facilitating 🙌 Here's why this certification matters to us: 🌍 Joining a global movement: We’re all about collaboration over competition and today's global challenges, can’t be solved in isolation. That's why we love the opportunity to connect with like-minded enterprises for collective action and meaningful change with SEWF - Social Enterprise World Forum C.I.C. 🤝 Prioritising people over profit: Our mission is to create a more equitable world through design, and that starts by making sure we’re looking after our staff, clients and collaborators — and making a big deal out of it until it becomes the norm. 💚 Commitment to sustainability: We practice sustainable methods and consider the environmental ethics of everyone we work with.

Excited to share our latest work for Bi+ Equal! 🌟 Funded by the European Commission, Bi+ Equal is working to create a pan-European bi+ umbrella organisation promoting gender equality and sustainable development.

🌟 Exciting news! We've been featured in the inaugural issue of Imperfect Index, in a piece on LGBTQ+ design by Kinda Savarino. The publication, co-founded by Abbie Vickress and Laura Parke, aims to broaden the understanding of graphic design by addressing its historical and current biases. Days of Rage, a digital exhibition of LGBTQ+ activist materials, we delivered with One Institute, is highlighted in this issue. This is a project we're really proud of, so it's great to see it shared with a new audience.

🌟 It’s #LivingWageWeek 2024, and we’re reflecting on what it means to be a certified Living Wage Scotland employer. Earlier this year, we proudly achieved this certification, reaffirming our commitment to fair pay. Unlike the national minimum wage, the real Living Wage, is adjusted to reflect the true cost of living, covering essentials like housing, childcare, transport, and heating. A Living Wage in the UK has been calculated at £12.60 and hour, which is £4 more than the minimum wage for 18-20 year olds. However, as of last week the National Living Wage is set to increase to £12.21 for people over 21, and £10 per hour for 18-20 year olds which is a big step in the right direction, thanks to the people power. At Studio Lutalica, we believe that fair pay is fundamentally linked to gender equality and essential for promoting equal oppourtunities across people from underepresented groups. Compensating both our employees and freelancers fairly for all their contributions, from creating proposals to project reviews, is really important to us. Find out more about why we got our Living Wage Certification in this blog post from June 👉 https://lnkd.in/e2iB_ybh We’d encourage any organisations or business in Scotland to ensure they’re paying their staff a wage they can actually live on — and get the certification to prove it.
