Square Mile Farms is awarded the ESGmark® certification
12 June 2024
ESGmark® is delighted to welcome Square Mile Farms to our community. Square Mile Farms provides experiential vertical farming systems to their clients, helping people and businesses to be healthier and more sustainable while promoting a low-impact agricultural system which brings nature into cities and workplaces.
The award of the ESGmark® certification only occurs after passing a rigorous analysis of an organisation’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) credentials. The award is an important recognition of the objectives, intentions and actions taken by a company, its management and other team members. Attainment of the certification is an important way for organisations to communicate with their clients and other stakeholders and demonstrate their responsible approach to business.
“Square Mile Farms chose to partner with ESGmark® to provide robust and transparent proof that we are living up to our values as a sustainable business and a responsible employer.”
— Hamish Grant, Chief Growth Officer, Square Mile Farms
“Square Mile Farms is a purpose-led business which has sustainability at its core, and we are excited to welcome them to the ESGmark® community! They not only allow their clients to improve their environmental impact through vertical farming but have also shown that they are committed to their own responsible business practices through their social and environmental initiatives, governance and employment practices.”
— Kayla Ellis, Community Development Associate, ESGmark®
