Our
Mission
We are here to promote the mindset transformation that leads to initiatives for shaping the better world.
We aim to develop ‘change accelerators’ who can multiply the impact on a greater scale.
The Sustainability Mindset is a way of thinking and being which results from a broad understanding of the ecosystem, social sensitivity, and an introspective focus on personal values and the higher self.
The dire challenges of our time are no longer in question. They call for resiliency, adaptation, creative innovation and much more. The foundation of all our ideas and behaviors lays in a mindset out of which we operate.
The Sustainability Mindset Indicator (SMI) is the first instrument to map and profile where an individual is on their journey towards a Sustainability Mindset. It is a questionnaire consisting of 36 contrasting statements, exploring three dimensions of our mindset for sustainability: the cognitive, the behavioral and the affective.
The SMI provides participants with personalized reports that highlight their unique skills and opportunities to shape a better world. It includes questions for reflection to expand awareness and to leverage personal resources.
