Changing the way we live our lives

Swapping perfection for progress

Our purpose is to change lives by unlocking personal progress & professional potential. We believe in swapping perfection for progress to become more progressfull – one step & one bite at a time – at work, at home, & in our whole life. This belief extends to how we unlock progress for our planet

Making progress for our Planet

As individuals & business owners we believe we have an inherent responsibility to preserve & protect our planet. As such we want to be transparent about the small steps we are taking to do our bit for our planet - however small - one step & one bite at a time

Our suppliers range from a heritage printers in the UK, a sustainable packaging firm in Europe, to independent creatives such as designers & illustrators. When we set up Progressfull™ we decided to only partner with ethical suppliers, who are simultaneously passionate about delivering excellence & protecting the environment

We decided to only use the best sustainable materials for our beautiful, stylish Journals & design them to last. We decided to always choose sustainable 100% recyclable packaging materials. Both these decisions are key in our commitment to making progress for our planet

We have chosen to offset emissions for both our personal & professional lives & ensure that we are climate positive. We offset our entire carbon footprint, including emissions from our homes, personal travel, holidays, food, hobbies & more. The small step will have an impact this year of planting over 1,000 trees & a reduction of 21.6 tonnes of CO2  - visit our forest and more here

Making progress for People

As individuals & business owners we believe we have an inherent responsibility to preserve & protect people. As such we want to be transparent about the small steps we are taking to do our bit for people - however small - one step & one bite at a time

When we set up Progressfull™, it was important to us that we give a larger proportion of our business profit to charitable causes than most businesses give (on average businesses which give to charity donate 1% of their profit). Given the values we want to live as Progressfull™, making progress for us would mean Progressfull™ committing to give 10% of our profit to charitable causes

We decided that the charities would be ones which empower people. We also decided that we would ask our clients to choose which charity we donate to so their voice is paramount. We named this process Grow & Give. Both these decisions are key in our commitment to making progress for people

In summary, we are committed to acting ethically & with integrity - in all our business dealings & all our relationships. This includes operating with excellence & implementing effective systems & controls for our business. We will use our methodology the ARTT™ of progress (Assess, Relate, Take action & Take stock) to continuously Assess our progress, Relate how well we are doing by listening to our clients & thought leaders on people & planet, Take new actions for people & planet improvements & lastly, Take stock to accurately gauge our progress - step by step

We have identified the areas that matter most to us in relation to how we run the company and support our purpose of unlocking personal and professional development. These areas are summed up in our Business and Governance Principles. Our Business and Governance Principles identify the expectations we have of ourselves and of all suppliers, partners and clients we work with

1) We support and respect the protection of internationally proclaimed human rights
