Live Green & Give Back

We are a business with a sustainable focus on environmental, economic & social wellbeing.

Statement of Intent

To be a company that positively impacts on the economy, the environment and society by Living Green and incorporating sustainability into all of our business decisions and to Give Back and improve the lives of our employees, customers, stakeholders and the communities we serve.​

Why Live Green?

We only have one planet Earth.  As a society we’re living as if we have several planets and consuming in ways that cannot be sustained. That means a lot of things have to change.

We also know that if we work together, we can enjoy just as much comfort, more security and better health, while leading lives that are enriching, fulfilling and sustainable.

In Living Green, we will seek every opportunity to do our part in helping with the current environmental challenges we face as a society.​ We will grow and carry out our business with a green mindset.​

Why Give Back?

The business sector has a critical role to play in contributing to a flourishing society. It can contribute financial support, customised products and expert services by harnessing its core competencies to create lasting societal and business benefits.

Esri Ireland is a socially conscious and responsible company, supporting organisations working in conservation, ocean science, climate change, education, sustainable development and humanitarian affairs.

In Giving Back, we will support and encourage all employees to take the opportunity to contribute their knowledge and expertise to the wider community in a way that gives something back to society and that is motivating and life enhancing.

Frameworks for Action

To help us realise our intent to live green and give back we have adopted two frameworks for action; One Planet Living & GIS for Good.

  • One Planet Living

    As a One Planet Company we want to be an inspiring example of Living Green by reducing the impact of our operations and by collaborating with our suppliers and stakeholders on sustainability activities.

    One Planet Living ® is based on ten guiding principles of sustainability which we will use to help us Live Green and create holistic, joined-up solutions to support the longevity of our planet. 

    The ten One Planet Living principles are:

    Health & Happiness | Equity & Local Economy | Culture & Community | Land & Nature; Sustainable Water | Sustainable Food | Travel & Transport | Materials & Products | Zero Waste | Zero Carbon

  • GIS for Good

    Adopting a programme of Giving Back is important to us in both business and societal terms. Undertaken correctly, our giving back activities will create new networks and opportunities by promoting our people and our company in a positive way.  

    We will focus our Giving Back activities in seven domain areas. These provide a framework for action and decision making that will ensure a fair balance of our organisational resources across all seven areas.

    The seven GIS for Good domains are:

    Environment & Disaster Response | Sustainability | Conservation | Humanitarian | Education & Life Long Learning | Not For Profit | Start-Ups
