Manifesto

The foundations of our approach and services.
01
Sustainability is not optional

Failing to adapt means falling behind. Sustainability is not a trend—it’s a guarantee of relevance for stakeholders and resilience in business and in society.

02
We are an integral part of ecological systems

We are not masters of nature—we depend on it. We cannot build a viable future without understanding and protecting biodiversity and natural systems.

03
Businesses are powerful change agents

Businesses have a major role to play. Innovation, resources, influence—their potential for impact is a vast field of opportunity that benefits all stakeholders.

04
Every business can and must do its part

Integrating sustainable practices is not about size or sector. It’s never too early or too late to ask the right questions.

05
Engagement is beneficial

Engagement is not about ticking boxes. To become a true strategic lever, sustainable practices must be embedded in the company’s strategy and business model.

06
Cross-sector collaboration multiplies impact

No organization can tackle systemic challenges alone. We must act together through cross-sector partnerships. It’s not the easy path, but it’s the one with the greatest impact.

07
Engagement to embody our values

In the face of today’s crises, we need more than ever to find meaning and (re)align our values with our actions—at every level: as individuals, organizations, and society... Walk the talk

08
Engagement is a virtuous cycle

The more we engage, the more visible and measurable the results, and the stronger the motivation. It’s something to be lived—seeing the outcomes of one’s engagement is a revealing and mobilizing experience.

09
The solutions are here

We have everything we need to face today’s crises and challenges. It’s all about potential. That’s why at Umalia, we work to unlock it.
