🌏 The world needs people who care

We do not define ourselves as a social enterprise or a profit for purpose business. We have not applied for any labels like Bcorp, ISO 9001 Environment Clause, or any other green awards.

To be frank, we don't need a label or a norm to teach us how to behave - we are responsible adults! So we avoid being assholes: we turn off the lights when they’re not in use, we don’t turn on the AC or heaters when they’re not needed, we recycle and upcycle as much as possible, we don't print sheets of paper for what can be digital, we don't put things in the trash when we can store them to be reused later.

When designing a new product, we always try to think long term; even if we prototype, we design for disassembly, and we do not make a server run 24/7 if we need it for just a little while! You get the idea, we aren’t asking anyone to become hardcore environmentalists! We just believe that caring about the future should be the norm and that companies play a key role in building new, sustainable standards.

This is also why we never work on projects that don’t fit our ethics. You will never see Sparkmate working on designing a new weapon or something that can harm animals, the environment or people!
