Our commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals
As a certified B Corp®, Boma is committed to sustainability.
We’ve explored the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals and identified the specific targets we are working towards:
4.7 By 2030, ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including, among others, through education for sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship and appreciation of cultural diversity and of culture’s contribution to sustainable development.
8.5 By 2030, achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all women and men, including for young people and persons with disabilities, and equal pay for work of equal value.
12.5 By 2030, substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse.
12.6 Encourage companies, especially large and transnational companies, to adopt sustainable practices and to integrate sustainability information into their reporting cycle.
What does this mean?
We provide quality education across all of our programmes and events, and lead by example by modeling the behaviour we want to see in the world.
We cultivate a vision of leadership that goes well beyond generating financial returns for shareholders. Our programmes invite leaders and changemakers to consider who they are and who they want to be, to explore how they need to show up in the world to create the future we want. We dig deep into courage, vulnerability, values, and challenge our clients to articulate what is truly important to them.
We also live and breathe this commitment in how we deliver our programmes, offering scholarship placements on our open enrolment programmes and accessible pricing for young people, non-profits and startups.
We provide decent work and employment, contributing to economic growth.
Boma aims to be an awesome place to work, and we invest heavily in growing a culture we’re proud of. Beyond ensuring all salaries are benchmarked against industry standards and above living wage, we champion an organisational culture of health and learning. This includes clearly defining and embedding aspirations for team culture, inviting individual hauora (wellbeing) time each week, providing multifaceted professional development opportunities, and an ongoing commitment to DEI and cultural competency.
We contribute to responsible consumption and production; working to our Sustainable Procurement Policy.
We work with our venues to divert waste from landfill, source fresh local food, and serve on crockery and glassware. E Tipu: The Boma Agri Summit is a certified Zero Carbon event.
