Our ethos

Everything we do is underpinned by our ethos and values. We are inclusive, accessible, ethical, democratic and transparent.

We believe that sustainable development is not an issue for just government, business or the public acting alone, but one which we must address together.

Cynnal Cymru-Sustain Wales operates at the junction of government, business and civil society; of political ideologies and people’s ideas; of party manifestoes and personal aspirations. It is a bridge between all these.

• We approach issues from a broad sustainability perspective and engage a wide range of stakeholders in our work
  
• We are action-focused and support activities that will lead to a step-change in behaviour
  
• We operate democratically and transparently
  
• We are an independent voice that promotes long-term success not short-term expediency
  
• Our activities are Wales-wide and we interpret issues in a Welsh context We measure our effectiveness
  
• We minimise the environmental impact of all that we do
  
• We operate bilingually
  
• We are independent

The way we work gives us a unique overview of sustainability in Wales.
