The initiative’s purpose is to support acceleration of the world’s transition to sustainability.
How much does it cost to be an SPSC Ambassador?
There is no time and no financial commitment, confirmation or contribution expected from any ambassador. So it is absolutely free. It is not a money making membership scheme.

- Recognise – by issuing a verifiable badge, medal, cup, trophy, shield, crown, etc.
What leadership philosophy should we follow at SPSC ambassador initiative?
We should be servant leaders. Our leaders should aim at serving their team members. A servant leader shares power, puts the needs of the employees first and helps people develop and perform as highly as possible. Instead of the people working to serve the leader, the leader exists to serve the people.
Who can be an Individual SPSC ambassador?
SPSC ambassadors make a pro-bono community of personnel. They either support or wish to support sustainability. Once you apply, the decision to grant you ambassadorship is taken by any 3 SPSC ambassadors. We decide Individual SPSC Ambassador level based on your education, commitment, knowledge and experience.

Are organisations and individuals found on website perfectly sustainable?
The answer is NO. We do not list only few people/organisations perfectly sustainable, as we prefer millions of people/organisations to support sustainability imperfectly.
This is similar to the statement – “We believe that we cannot make this world waste free by efforts of handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people trying to do zero waste imperfectly.”
