How to navigate sustainability in luxury aerospace ventures ? : O.L.Y.M.P.E's ethos.

In the new market of commercial spaceflight, O.L.Y.M.P.E aims to stand as a beacon of sustainability. Our commitment to environmental stewardship permeates every aspect of our operations, from our visual identity to our choice of partnerships and product offerings. In this article, we showcase the concrete actions we aim to take to embody this ethos and lead the way towards a sustainable future in space exploration.

Our Website and Visual Identity: Symbolizing Responsibility

At O.L.Y.M.P.E , sustainability isn’t just a concept – it’s a way of life permeating every one of our actions. That’s why we deliberately transitioned our brand identity and website (orbitalluxe.com) from an original gold and black to black and white colors. This shift not only reduces our digital carbon footprint but also enhances readability and accessibility for all users. The use of colors tends to be more data-intensive, contributing to heavier server loads; adopting a black and white visual scheme alleviates this strain. Additionally, the high contrast between black and white improves legibility, benefiting users with visual impairments. While our logo may not be visually green, its essence aligns with our dedication to sustainability.

Public Transport Policy: Minimizing Travel Footprint

In our pursuit of sustainability, O.L.Y.M.P.E has implemented a robust PublicTransport policy for its employees to minimize our travel footprint during professional activities. For instance, being based in Paris, we prioritize the use of trains for events in Europe and opt for leveraging local talent instead of flying personnel from France for events in the United States or other destinations. This strategic approach not only reduces emissions associated with air travel but also fosters community engagement and supports the local economies. By championing eco-conscious travel practices within our organization, we aim to set a standard for the industry at large.

Partnerships with Sustainable Solutions: Pioneering Innovation

At O.L.Y.M.P.E, we recognize the transformative power of partnerships in driving sustainability. That’s why we actively seek collaborations with companies offering sustainable solutions themselves, such as NeutralCarbon balloons initiatives or stations put in orbit with reusable launchers.  By aligning ourselves with like-minded innovators, we amplify our impact and accelerate the transition towards a greener future for aerospace ventures.

Product Selection: Curating Sustainable Luxury Experiences

When it comes to product selection, O.L.Y.M.P.E is unwavering in its commitment to sustainability and excellence. Ie, for our culinary offerings, we prioritize chefs who champion LowWaste and organic practices, ensuring that every meal served reflects our dedication to environmental responsibility. Similarly, in selecting physical products, we prioritize lines with proven third-party accreditations and labels such as Fairtrade, Organic, GOTS, BlueAngel, AOC, and ISO14001, which hold meaning and are relevant to us. In our packaging we will also favor those with minimal or biodegradable materials. This list is neither exhaustive nor mandatory for our catalog; these are references that we strive to reach for while developing. By curating sustainable luxury experiences, we aim to demonstrate that opulence and environmental stewardship can coexist harmoniously.

Human Rights and Inclusivity: Ethical Space Travel Standards for All

At O.L.Y.M.P.E , sustainability extends beyond environmental considerations to encompass HumanRights and inclusivity. We recognize the significance of diversity in the space sector and are dedicated to leveraging the power of the luxury market and its tailor-made abilities to cater to diverse bodies and needs. Our commitment to fostering inclusivity encompasses cultural and physical aspects, ensuring accessibility for an extended number of individuals. Aligned with the United NationsDeclaration of Human Rights and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), we prioritize health and comfort in our space travel endeavors. By adhering to ethical space travel standards, we aim to uphold the principles of dignity, equality, and well-being for all passengers, regardless of their background or physical capabilities.

At O.L.Y.M.P.E, sustainability isn’t meant to just be a buzzword – it’s our guiding principle and our promise to future generations. From our website’s visual identity to our public transport policy, partnerships, and product selections, every decision reflects our unwavering commitment to environmental responsibility. We recognize that as a young company, creating a new activity comes with consuming resources, but we remain open to opportunities for improvement. As we navigate the venture of commercial space travel, we remain steadfast in our dedication to sustainable high-quality professionalism in all its meanings. Together, we chart a course towards a more sustainable future, one action at a time.
