Blog: How to make your startup both innovative and sustainable
At Metta, sustainability is integrated into everything we do. However, being as sustainable as possible in an early-stage business doesn’t come without its challenges. It’s hard to manage everything — funding, pitching, keeping the business running, while also wanting to think about the planet and the climate crisis as well.
We asked some of our friends in the startup space what they thought could be done to make sustainability easier to access for founders and business owners.
“Embarking on a sustainability journey is not a perfect thing. It’s a deep behaviour change, and it’s behaviour change that needs to start somewhere. So don’t be too hard on yourself, just do one thing that you think is good and that you feel comfortable doing. And that’s doing something.” - Anne-Charlotte Mornington.

Get our new online course
Being from startups ourselves, we all understand that the lack of time, money and resources can make it difficult to apply the sustainability principles you might want to. This 2.5 hour course, presented by Ecodove founder Katie Tamblin, allows you to watch and learn at your own pace, while also being able to revisit the content anytime you wish.
Our course provides startups and business owners with a fundamental overview of incorporating sustainability into your business practices, including investment, reporting and legislation you need to be familiar with.
