Generative Sustainability Practice (GSP)
Abundance Mindset
GSP encourages us to see our natural systems' vast potential and capacity. Emphasizing natural balance, capacity, sharing, acceptance, and continuous learning about sustainability, we can create a world where resources are utilized efficiently and equitably.
Focus on WE (Willing and Enabled)
GSP emphasizes the importance of collective effort and empowerment. Focusing on WE ensures all team members are willing and enabled to contribute to sustainability goals. This includes empowering teams, making inclusive decisions, developing necessary skills, building a sense of community, and allocating resources effectively.
Partner and Have Conversations to Learn More
Collaboration and dialogue are essential to GSP. By partnering and having meaningful conversations, we can engage stakeholders, collaborate across sectors, foster knowledge exchange, and learn from diverse cultural approaches. This ongoing dialogue helps refine and enhance our sustainability efforts.
What Did We Learn from Failure to Grow?
Failures provide valuable lessons. GSP encourages us to embrace failures as opportunities for growth, building resilience, iterating improvements, conducting root cause analyses, developing adaptive strategies, and sharing stories of failure and growth to inspire others.
Lean Into Fun and Joy
Sustainability doesn't have to be a solemn endeavor. GSP promotes learning as fun and joy by using creative problem-solving, celebrating successes, designing engaging activities, encouraging positive reinforcement, and hosting community events that combine education and enjoyment.
Open
Openness is a cornerstone of GSP. By being transparent in our reporting, fostering open innovation, encouraging inclusive participation, ensuring accessibility, and establishing open feedback loops, we create a culture of trust and continuous improvement.
