Environmental
Less material sent to disposal; greater reuse, repair and recovery; more thoughtful resource consumption.
Impact
Specific claims, backed by data
Targets, methods and results are agreed and documented for each project. We do not claim an outcome without the data to support it.
Environmental, social and organisational value
Social
More opportunities for skills development, inclusive participation, livelihoods and entrepreneurship.
Organisational
Stronger employee involvement, useful cross-sector partnerships and better visibility of sustainability efforts.
Measuring what matters
Depending on the initiative, relevant indicators may include:
- Materials collected and diverted
- Items repaired or upcycled
- Participants engaged
- Training hours delivered
- Beneficiaries supported
- Follow-on livelihood opportunities
Targets, methods and results are agreed and documented for each project. CSUN does not claim these outcomes without supporting data.

The degree of contribution depends on each initiative.
