Diving into the concept of sustainability is like unraveling a tapestry of interconnected threads that weave through history and shape our modern world. The idea is not a mere buzzword but a rich tapestry of ideals and practices that have evolved over centuries, influencing everything from our daily choices to global policies. Here are some thought-provoking insights inspired by a fascinating historical perspective on sustainability: - Sustainability is not a recent fad but a concept that has deep roots going back to the 17th century, showing how long-standing principles have shaped our current discourse. - The evolution of sustainable practices faced challenges during the Industrial Revolution and gained momentum through the environmental movement, leading to a more concerted effort towards balanced development. - This philosophy of sustainability is a blend of ideas from social justice, ecological economics, and environmental conservation, highlighting its holistic approach to creating a better world. Exploring the historical journey of sustainability opens doors to a deeper understanding of its significance in shaping our lives, communities, and the planet. It challenges us to reflect on how we can contribute to a sustainable future for generations to come. https://lnkd.in/gKj8m7bp

Sustainability efforts that we are most proud of here at Roam! ⚡️ In line with one of our core values (fostering an impact-driven culture), Open Capital helped us craft our annual Impact Assessment Report showing that: 🏍️ For every km driven on the Roam Air, 58 g/CO2e is mitigated. 🚍 For every km driven with the Roam Rapid or the Roam Move 958 g/CO2e is mitigated. So far we have saved 179T/CO2e, equalling the annual emissions for 436 Kenyans. 🌍 In addition to this, we had a Social Impact Assessment done by Kearney showing that for every dollar invested in Roam there is a social impact of 2.4 dollars in terms of reduced total cost of ownership, increased income for motorcycle riders and reduced healthcare costs due to reduced pollution. 💨 We recognize that we still have a long way to go but for now, we celebrate these wins that will ultimately make an even bigger impact in the coming year.

"Aiming for sustainability has not fundamentally altered the environmentally destructive effects of business. Only by embracing regeneration as a model can we meet the challenges posed by today’s biggest global crises. By redefining what types of value to prioritize, regenerative businesses contribute positively to the environment, society, and the economy, creating a circular and inclusive model of growth that benefits all stakeholders, including future generations. We need to start with better questions about the types of value that businesses create and their fundamental impact on society and the environment. Instead of asking how stakeholder focus can lead to profits, we need to ask more fundamental questions about the societal effects of a company’s business model." Great article by Christopher Marquis.
