Here’s a very inspiring story from Devon Live on what the next generation of entrepreneurs are planning:
Schoolchildren share ideas for running a sustainable business
A group of youngsters shared how they would run a business – from solar panels on the roof, to an equal wage for all employees
This cute video shows young apprentices coming up with business ideas which are sustainable.
Featuring what could be the future’s next big entrepreneurs, the footage shows them explaining how they’d make a shop eco-friendly, whether they’d pay staff an equal wage no matter their age or gender, and what their ideal working hours would be.
Growing up in a world aiming to be sustainable, these youngsters may be greener than many adults – with suggestions including having solar panels on the roof of all business premises, upcycling furniture, and using eco-friendly packaging.
Alexander Allen, UK managing director for Funding Circle, which commissioned the research, said: “Getting greener is vital for everyone, from huge corporations to smaller businesses. And of course, as individuals we all have a part to play as well, in ensuring there is a future for younger generations to enjoy. However, with a cost-of-living crisis to contend , it can be easy to let standards slip in the name of cutting costs.”
