Think Global
Act Local
↓
We bring communities and decision makers together to shape the future.
The best way to achieve our global goals is to break them down into manageable bitesize pieces. We help empower every person to make an incremental difference, building towards a better tomorrow for people and planet.
Our name implies ‘a list of voices’ - we are building a digital platform that enables people to participate beyond the usual limits, in real time, leading to quicker & better results for the common good.
Imagine a town hall, where people, businesses & organisations from across society congregate to tackle social, environmental & economic issues. Then take that ethos & put it into a secure cloud platform – a virtual town hall, where decision makers can gather evidence, information & ideas from the wider community & people can have a say on & influence matters which impact them. We can all have a part to play, however big or small, in shaping the bigger picture.
We believe in evidence-based decision making & using technology to support people who have decisions to make: How can we work together to solve a problem in our community? How can I make my business or community more sustainable or equitable? How do we design a product or service which gives more to the world than it takes away? How can I choose a product or service that aligns with my values, where any claims are backed up & transparent? How can I gather ongoing feedback within my wide set of stakeholders?
Founded in Scotland, our vision involves making destinations a better place to live & work as well as visit. Our core focus is the travel & tourism sector with crossover into wider society. We will enable our users to measure & understand social & environmental impact thanks to our bespoke platform architecture. Our data-driven approach helps our users form meaningful & actionable insights.
We are already underway with an initiative around marine litter, with our users gathering evidence on the ground in real time & working together on solutions, with the data collected potentially feeding into future policy around ‘extended producer responsibility’ i.e. ‘polluter pays’. This collective-action initiative aims to connect the dots between community groups, central & local authorities, industry associations, recycling or circular economy solutions, charities & more.
In future, we envisage a multitude of initiatives being run through the platform globally, thinking along the lines of collective goals such as the Race to Zero, inclusivity, sustainable communities, a healthy environment and more.
Thank you to everyone who has guided us on the journey so far…
