Our vision

Everything to make an impact

We’re building a new economy, one that values people and the planet

At Copper8 the planet, and not the customer, is king. Everything we do reflects this: we are a certified B‑Corp and a member of Social Enterprise NL.

We show that things can be done differently. Better. For all of us.

We bring a bold perspective to doing business. Value should come before profit; and we’re determined to lead by example.

Choosing impact over profit

We choose our projects based on their potential impact. We don't stop with budget constraints. We also initiate own research to help spark the system change we so believe in.

Value over effort

We prefer to be rewarded for the value we deliver, not for the time we spend. That’s why we navigate several different revenue models: pay-what-you-like or bonus-penalty arrangements.

Team, not staff

A healthy team is very important to us. Our work is demanding, which is why we have chosen a four‑day workweek to ensure there is enough space for reflection and inspiration.

Trust at the core

Change is at the heart of our work. It is exciting and often requires making tough choices. That’s why giving trust and creating a sense of safety are so important to us. In every relationship we build - and especially within our team - trust is an essential foundation.

Spreading the mindset

We see every interaction as an opportunity to share our values and knowledge. All our publications are open source. We also engage with potential suppliers to activate them in terms of sustainability.

Our impact

Our mission is to create positive impact. We don’t measure our success in profits or the size of our team. But let’s be honest, measuring impact isn’t easy. To stay transparent about where we invest our energy, we publish an annual impact report.
