Presentation of UmanoteraEntire website (by Google Translate) MISSION Umanotera is translating the principles of sustainable development into a way of life by introducing examples of inspiring good practices and increasing the availability of benevolent products. Through its activities Umanotera fosters the values of entrepreneurship, creativity, partnership and quality. Why sustainable development? Umanotera understands sustainable development as a dynamic balance between man and nature, which allows social justice and intergenerational solidarity. Sustainable development also means that people should exploit the unlimited capability of their minds instead of exploiting limited natural resources. Only in this way will we be able to leave our environment and resources to future generations in the best possible condition.
Key abilities of the organization: THE CONTENT OF THE STRATEGY Key stakeholders: Companies STRATEGIC AREAS AND GOALS UMANOTERA's PROJECTS Plan B - Initiative for a Sustainable Development Project Plan B is a network of Slovenian environmental non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and experts, forming a broad civil society platform for sustainable development in Slovenia, along with other interested stakeholders. The primary objective of the NGO network within Plan B is to support long-term sustainable operation of environmental NGOs and to strengthen the qualification of environmental NGOs in Slovenia in two ways: by encouraging their active role in the democratic processes of policy formulation and in monitoring implementation of policies, and also by encouraging their participation and partnership. A secondary objective of the project is to improve the awareness of citizens and to encourage their engagement in environmentally-oriented public matters. Mirror to the Government - Green Non-Governmental Monitor is designed to monitor and evaluate implementation of the commitments and legislation of the principles of sustainable development in various sectors. The project aims to measure the gap between pre-election promises and commitments in the field of environmental protection and sustainable development, and their post-election implementation. It also aims to reduce the implementation gap by government authorities and to promote civil society as an equal partner. The purpose of Mirror to the Government is also to promote interest in sustainable development among decision-makers and in the broader public.
Krilca, Gifts with Magic Powers Umanotera
obtained the inspiration for the project Wings from a UK charity
organisation The Charities Advisory Trust, which in 2003 introduced the
innovative concept of giving Good Gifts. A special, thoughtful gift is
given to one of the many good deeds by individual’s choice from a
catalogue. Since 2007, ethical, socially responsible and sustainable
gifts are also available in Slovenia. Umanotera named the gifts Krilca,
darila s čarobno močjo (Wings, Gifts with Magic Powers). The purpose of
the project is to provide a permanent income to selected socially
responsible projects in Slovenia, former Yugoslavian countries and
developing countries. The
gift recipient is presented with a personally dedicated illustrated
gift card, informing him of the gift cause and the donor. All gift money goes to partner charity organisations, which are committed to employ it exclusively for the chosen gift purpose Vida Ogorelec Wagner, managing director of Umanotera, is a certified presenter of Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth slide show. The lecture presents comprehensive and vivid description of problems of climate change on a global scale , updated with information on Slovenia. Vida received a certificate by The Climate Project, following training in Nashville and has given over 120 presentations to various audiences in Slovenia and internationally since 2007. Additionally, Umanotera is very active on climate change, organising events and campaigns on this issue, raising public awareness and partnering with other organisations. The shop 3MUHE (3FLIES) is the first store in Slovenia, where products using the principles of fair trade are on sale. It is a trading partnership which seeks greater equity in international trade. An increase of income and choices for poor producers from less developed regions and the return of their dignity are just some of the goals of fair trade. The shop 3MUHE in Stari trg 30, Ljubljana gives individuals real opportunities to change the world for the better. 3MUHE are the evidence that a fair purchase is possible.
