Terra Carta
Sixty7.green has become an official supporter of the Terra Carta.
The Terra Carta is part of the Sustainable Markets Initiative, launched by His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales at The World Economic Forum 2020. The Sustainable Markets Initiative is a global coalition of companies who share the ambition to accelerate global progress towards a sustainable future.
The ‘Terra Carta’ is a charter that puts sustainability at the heart of the private sector. It offers the basis of a recovery plan to 2030, putting Nature, People and Planet at the heart of global value creation.
Deriving its name from the historic Magna Carta, which over 800 years ago, inspired a belief in the fundamental rights and liberties of people, the Terra Carta aims to reunite people and planet. It does this by giving fundamental rights and value to nature, ensuring a lasting impact and tangible legacy for this generation.
The principles behind the Terra Carta are aligned with Sixty7.green in our belief that business prosperity is ultimately dependent on sustainability. We are proud to be listed alongside hundreds of global signatories of this unique initiative. And we look forward to engaging and playing our part in leading the global transition to a more sustainable future.
As a Supporter of the Terra Carta, Sixty7.green,
Commits to supporting and rapidly accelerating the world’s transition towards a sustainable future.
Recognises the urgency of the global climate, biodiversity and health crisis and the stewardship with which we must act.
Acknowledges that to build a sustainable future, the transition must focus on a robust, positive and parallel impact for Nature, People and Planet.
Recognizes that ensuring the integrity of all ecosystems, on land and below water, requires that climate, oceans, desertification and biodiversity be treated as one common system and addressed simultaneously.
Acknowledges that we need to make health our goal; individual health, community health, economic health and health of our natural resources.
Takes into account the value of diversity, recognizing that diversity is a strength that gives resilience to communities, systems and organisations.
Recognizes the importance of ‘local’ - local traditions, languages and cultures along with local products, jobs and sustainability - and how these ‘locals’ connect and support each other in the wider tapestry of regional and global systems.
Acknowledges that Nature underpins the inherent prosperity, wellbeing and future of all people and the one planet we share. Further, that the restoration of the natural world is of common benefit to all humankind irrespective of borders.
Acknowledges that the required global trajectory is a sustainable one, where the private sector has a critical role to play. To accelerate this trajectory, a ‘future of industry’ and ‘future of economy’ approach must be taken.
Takes into account the need to ensure a skilled workforce and a cadre of leaders that are prepared to participate in a fair, inclusive, equitable and just transition towards a sustainable future.
Recognizes that to scale sustainable solutions and investment, cross-border and longer term ‘mega’ projects need to be explored, underscoring the importance of public, private and philanthropic collaboration.
Acknowledges the need for net zero commitments to be achieved by 2050, and, where possible, much sooner. Setting more ambitious timelines will emphasize and catalyse immediate action while encouraging continuous innovation and improvement.
Undertakes to collaborate, share knowledge and ideas to propel the world towards sustainability at a faster pace through public, private and philanthropic collaboration.
