Our values
Empathy & solidarity
We act as stewards of The Footprint Firm, fostering unity, generosity, and shared success across colleagues, clients, and the wider organisation.
Knowledge & curiosity
We nurture a culture of curiosity and shared learning, taking responsibility for our own growth, supporting others in theirs, and seeking every opportunity to deepen our understanding of sustainability
Maturity & leadership
We act as owners, making decisions with responsibility and ambition, guided by sustainability, transparency, and care for people and time.
Our responsibility in practice
At The Footprint Firm, we focus exclusively on sustainability and were founded to contribute meaningfully to solving the climate crisis. At the same time, we work to build an organisation rooted in respect, shared ownership, and a commitment to creating positive impact.
Internal carbon tax
We apply an internal carbon tax of DKK 1,500 per tonne of CO₂e, aligned with the Danish Council on Climate Change. The proceeds are invested in carbon removal technologies and international NGOs that influence climate policy or mitigate climate impacts. Our aim is not to claim neutrality, but to help scale the solutions needed to meet the Paris goals.
Supplier engagement
We select suppliers based on environmental and social performance and actively engage them on sustainability. Through annual assessments and ongoing dialogue, we support suppliers in strengthening their sustainability efforts and ambitions.
Transparency & co-ownership
We strive for transparency and shared ownership across the organisation. This includes openness around budgets, salaries, profits, and cash position, as well as employee involvement in key decisions such as investments, strategy, and hiring.
