Tackle climate change as an organisation
Every organization has its own mission. But all organizations can pursue that mission in a way that helps to bring about a low-carbon future.
Charities and churches do this because climate change impacts their core aims. For example, relief agencies see how climate change impacts people in poor countries. Churches see how it harms God's creation and hurts their neighbours.
Forward-thinking businesses will be concerned about the future of the planet, but will also adapt to climate change to maximize their value. Opportunities include increased revenues from low-carbon products, cost savings, efficiency gains, better risk management, and improved reputation. A McKinsey report says: ‘The winners will be companies that reposition to seize the opportunities of a low-carbon future.’
A typical organizational strategy will have three strands:
- Efficient energy use to reduce emissions & save money. Offset emissions that remain.
- Plan for your organization to succeed in the low-carbon future.
- Promote sustainability to staff, customers, suppliers and supporters.

Tearfund
Tearfund is one of the UK’s leading Christian relief and development charities, working in partnership with Christian agencies and churches in 70 countries to tackle the causes and effects of poverty. It is the world's poorest who suffer most from climate change, so we promote more environmentally aware lifestyles among our supporters and offset our flights with Climate Stewards.
CORD
CORD’s vision is a world where all people live in harmony with one another, creation and God, and have access to resources needed for development and the opportunity to live in freedom with security and justice. We aim to show God’s love by assisting people displaced by conflict to rebuild their lives and communities peacefully and sustainably. Peace and sustainability cannot be achieved without considering the environment, which is why we are partnering Climate Stewards.
Latin Link
Latin Link is an international community serving local churches throughout Latin America. Our heart is contained in a single Spanish word: formación, which combines the ideas of formative training, preparation and personal development leading to wholeness and wellbeing. Our holistic approach makes us concerned about climate change, which is why we offset with Climate Stewards.
Hands Up Holidays
Hands up Holidays is an award-winning ethical travel company. We offer the adventure of a holiday in an exotic location combined with the satisfaction of helping and getting to know local communities through volunteering. We offsets all our flights with Climate Stewards, and also partner with A Rocha in Kenya as a volunteer project.
