Ecopence Supports the Sustainable Development Goals
Supporting the Global Goals
In 2015, the United Nations agreed on committing to implement the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) so that by 2030, the world will reach a state of prosperity, protection and dignity for both citizens and planet. Ecopence is committed to educating local communities about why the Sustainable Development Goals matter for each and every one of us and what it implies in our respective contexts as citizens, businesses and consumers. We understand that sustainability principles apply to all and that we must take action at all levels in order to reach the 2030 targets. Our vision fully aligns with the SDGs and we intend to work around the goals’ associated targets to influence both businesses and consumers in the same direction. Not familiar with the Global Goals?

Our SDG Focus
Ecopence's main focus is on SDG 12 - ensure responsible production & consumption. SDG 12 calls for action on all fronts: adoption of sustainable practices and sustainability reporting by businesses; promotion of sustainable procurement practices and rationalisation inefficient fossil-fuel subsidies by policy-makers; environmentally-aware lifestyles of consumers; development of new technologies and production and consumption methods by researchers and scientists and others. Find out more here - https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/sdi/responsible-consumption-and-production The 2030 agenda is ambitious yet the targets are achievable if we all take responsibility and action now. At Ecopence, we believe that every little steps counts and that we must all contribute in order to make big changes in the way our society evolves. We all have a role to play - will you join us? Find out more about each of the goals and their associated targets here - https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/topics/sustainabledevelopmentgoals Ecopence aims to educate on responsible consumption & production best practices and provide simple and smart solutions that can be implemented at various levels (consumers, corporates, NGOs, Government bodies) in order to advance the global agenda and contribute to building a better future for all. We support SDG 12 by promoting and selling earth-friendly/sustainable products & solutions; and by educating local communities on best practices to reduce waste and consume responsibly. By rewarding consumers for their choices; we can accelerate the shift in consumption habits and through incentives for responsible consumption; we aim to inspire more people to join the movement and contribute to building a better future. We have already launched a zero waste shopping method and are enticing registering users to shop in our method, we have so far moved around 560 items and registered 139 house wives to use our method. We started this effort since the end of June 2020 so on average the impact of people using our method in saving single use plastic bags, paper bags and single use packaging while shopping is in the region of: a) 69,500 single use plastic bags normally used to purchase fruit, veg, herbs and bread (based on average 1,500 per year of such bags normally consumed per household) b) 27,800 single use carrying bags normally used while shopping in general (based on average 600 per year of such bags normally consumed per household) c) 46,000 single use packaging normally used to purchase deli counter items, meat, fish & dry food items by weight (based on average 1,000 per year of such packages normally consumed per household) We aim at amplifying this massively on our official launch and shall be lining it up with a campaign in collaboration with the European Week for Waste Reduction between the 21st and 29th Nov 2020 and shall be going live in various locations and supermarkets around the islands with the aim to reach out directly to many more house wives. This falling directly in line with our focus on supporting SDG 12.

WHY IT MATTERS, AND WHY YOU MUST CARE TOO!
1.3 billion tonnes of food is wasted every year, while almost 2 billion people go hungry or undernourished. The food sector accounts for around 22 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions, largely from the conversion of forests into farmland. Globally, 2 billion people are overweight or obese. Only 3 percent of the world’s water is fresh (drinkable), and humans are using it faster than nature can replenish it. If people everywhere switched to energy efficient light bulbs, the world would save US$120 billion annually. One-fifth of the world’s final energy consumption in 2013 was from renewable sources.
