Project Clean SLATE
(Sustainable Livelihoods And The Ecosystem)

Work isn’t working’, but the news is not all negative. Great disruptions also mean Great Unfreezing moments—for revolutionary positive change. Linked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Project SLATE revolves the wheel of work into livelihoods that work for people, planet, and prosperity.

Sustainable Livelihoods

We promote revolutionary positive change by rethinking traditional work models to foster livelihoods that benefit people, planet, and prosperity.

Ecosystem Restoration

Our research focuses on restoring ecosystems to create a sustainable balance between human activity and the natural environment alongside promoting social good.

UN SDG Integration

Linked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, we align our efforts to promote a more equitable and sustainable world.
