EPIC ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) POLICY

EPIC is committed to empowering young individuals, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, by providing them with the tools, mentorship, and support needed to realize their entrepreneurial aspirations.

 

Our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) policy outlines our dedication to sustainable practices, social responsibility, and ethical governance in all aspects of our operations. 

​

Environmental Responsibility 

While our primary focus is on social impact, we recognise the importance of environmental stewardship. We commit to: 

  • Sustainable Operations: Minimising our environmental footprint by adopting eco-friendly practices in our offices and events, such as reducing waste, conserving energy, and promoting recycling. 

  • Education and Awareness: Incorporating environmental sustainability topics into our programs to educate young entrepreneurs about the importance of eco-conscious business practices. 

  • Partnerships: Collaborating with organisations and suppliers that prioritise environmental responsibility. 

 

Social Responsibility 

Our core mission revolves around social impact. We strive to: 

  • Empower Disadvantaged Youth: Providing access to resources, mentorship, and funding to young individuals, especially those navigating the care system, to help them launch successful businesses. 

  • Inclusive Programs: Ensuring our programs are accessible to individuals from diverse backgrounds, promoting equality and inclusivity. 

  • Community Engagement: Encouraging our entrepreneurs to engage with and give back to their communities, fostering a culture of social responsibility. 

 

Governance 

We uphold the highest standards of ethical governance by: 

  • Transparency: Maintaining open and honest communication with stakeholders, including clear reporting on our activities and impact. 

  • Accountability: Implementing robust oversight mechanisms to ensure responsible management of resources and adherence to our mission. 

  • Ethical Practices: Upholding integrity in all our operations, including fair treatment of staff, volunteers, and participants. 

 

Monitoring and Evaluation 

To ensure the effectiveness of our ESG initiatives, we will: 

  • Regular Assessments: Conduct periodic reviews of our environmental practices, social impact, and governance structures. 

  • Stakeholder Feedback: Seek input from participants, partners, and other stakeholders to continuously improve our programs and operations. 

  • Reporting: Share our ESG performance and progress with stakeholders through annual reports and updates. 

​

EPIC is dedicated to fostering a sustainable, inclusive, and ethically governed environment that empowers young individuals to achieve their entrepreneurial goals. Through our ESG commitments, we aim to create lasting positive impacts on individuals, communities, and broader society.
