We are a majority-women team here at Phil, and we tackle every challenge with a deep understanding of intersectionality: women are more than a gender. Women are incredibly smart and diligent. Women are Black, Indigenous, queer, disabled people. Women are leaders, family, and volunteers in the community. For women’s history month, we sat down with the women of Phil to showcase their contributions and values, shedding light on how far we have come.

Define sustainability  

Decide how your not-for-profit will approach the issue—will you follow a “standard,” mainstream definition of sustainability to ground your work? Or does your organization define sustainability by specialized terms, like addressing geographically-proximate needs? Once you decide what makes the most sense for your organization, your sustainable business strategy begins.

Devise a strategy

How specific and measurable are your organization’s sustainability goals? How important are these goals to the overall organizational strategy? To bake your values into your practices, you must bake environmental sustainability into your strategy. Practically, this can look like monitoring and recording your waste production every 3 months and adjusting your processes accordingly.

Do what works for you

Little tweaks you make to your everyday processes can add up to a big environmental impact, so don’t feel discouraged if you lack the resources to strictly monitor your CO2 footprint. One simple way you can make your nonprofit more sustainable is to instate a work-from-home or hybrid model. Working from home four days a week can reduce nitrogen dioxide emissions by around 10%. You can also partner with organizations with missions to achieve justice for Black, Indigenous, other racialized communities, women, and youth.
