At Airteam, we strive to make a positive impact, not just through the software products we create, but also through the partnerships we foster and the values we have committed ourselves to. Our decision to support the Environmental Defenders Office and join the Pledge 1% initiative is another way we are trying to uphold our vision of bringing about positive change.
Who are the Environmental Defenders Office?
The Environmental Defenders Office (EDO) is an accredited community legal service dedicated to defending Australia’s wildlife, people, and places through the power of the law.
EDO has a solid track record of taking landmark environmental cases to court and winning.
One of their notable achievements is their work in protecting the Great Barrier Reef by ensuring that development projects comply with strict environmental regulations. They also provide vital legal support to Indigenous communities, helping to preserve their land and cultural heritage.
Who are Pledge 1%?
Pledge 1% is a global movement encouraging companies to pledge 1% of equity, profit, product, or employee time to a charity of their choice. Over 8,500 companies have joined the movement, contributing to various social and environmental causes.
Why we chose to support EDO
Supporting EDO aligns with our mission to drive positive change, as well as our core values as a business and a team:
- Do the right thing
- Build a strong team
- Focus on outcomes
- Strive for better
By supporting EDO, we feel we're not only upholding our values but also contributing to the protection of Australia’s unique environment.
What does this mean for our clients?
We take pride in sharing this with our clients, because their decision to work with us is having a direct and meaningful impact on our environment.
Choosing to partner with companies who are making a positive impact demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and social responsibility, is something we all strive for.
