Welcome to Coluko
Coluko partners with small businesses to integrate social and environmental responsibility into their operations, helping them achieve conscientious profits while supporting people and the planet.
Our Pillars
We recognise that balancing climate protection, caring for people, and staying competitive while growing sales is a huge challenge for small businesses. That’s why we’ve simplified the process into three key pillars for small businesses to focus on. Within each pillar, there are milestone badges that businesses can earn to demonstrate their progress and achievements in their commitment to social and environmental impact.
Enhancing the quality of our communities. This pillar focuses on what our businesses can do to pay it forward and create sustainable and thriving communities outside of our workplaces.
Ensuring your business remains ethical and fair. This pillar focuses on topics such as employee wellbeing, working conditions, policies, equality and respect within the workplace.
Minimising any negative effects your business could be having on the environment. This pillar focus on topics such as pollution, emissions and energy in your business operations.
