There is no time and no financial commitment, confirmation or contribution expected from any students. So it has been absolutely free from the year of incorporation i.e. 2021.
Sustainability Ambassadorship applications are reviewed by a jury of Sustainability Ambassadors, who offer voluntary service.
Our normal service is totally FREE, and it takes 15 days to review, process & communicate the application outcome. We also offer Express Service to process application in 24 hours. The Express Service is delivered after a small donation of £9.
When it comes to students, the Sustainability Ambassador initiative believes in supporting one another.
This is a FREE Sustainability Ambassadorship for students.
Whilst we hope to keep this free forever; however this should not be interpreted as our commitment. We hope that you understand that it is very difficult to predict and commit to future scenarios that are uncertain, complex, dynamic and volatile.
We define a person as a student if he/she is 16 years old and enrolled in a school, college, or university.
Student Chapters offer exceptional chances for bonding over shared interests, networking, and mentoring. They provide students with opportunities to learn and develop their skills both inside and outside of a college, university, or school environment.
This is an optional opportunity for students. It is not free. Secondly, a time commitment is expected.
Members of Student Chapters immediately become Student Sustainability Ambassadors; the opposite is not true.
We too feel extremely stressful to reject an application.
We offer free ambassadorship & associated benefits, however we do not wish to be fast or fake.
It takes minimum 15 days to review, approve & process application.
Your publicly verifiable identity is not only important but also essential. If we cannot verify you on LinkedIn and/or Facebook then it is quite difficult for our jury to provide a positive confirmation to accept you as The Sustainability Ambassador.
Please make sure that your publicly verifiable social media profile name matches with your application name.
Secondly, your Facebook and/or LinkedIn profile should have at least 5 connections. They can be your friends, family members and/or professionals.
We do not collect or store any document with personal details like date of birth, address, city, gender, age, etc, so may we request to not submit documents with those details.
Sorry, our answer is NO.
Though these form of identifications are the most genuine ways to identify any individual, yet we do use it for verification.
We are not 100% capable to provide security and safety of your personal information & documents, so we do not request, collect or store it.
We only use LinkedIn & Facebook.
If you are in China or other countries where Facebook & LinkedIn are not operational then you can provide social media links of other local social media platforms.
SPSC does not collect or store any personal information from your social medial account like date of birth, address, city, gender and age. So your social media account is used for verification & engagement purpose.
An application with the Sustainability Ambassador reference is approved after review of one Sustainability Ambassador.
Other Sustainability Ambassador applications need 3 Sustainability Ambassador’s review and approval.
We do not collect, store & process personal information like date of birth, address, city & gender. This happened during 2021, 2022 & 2023. It will stay the same for 2024.
Email id is the only personal information, which we keep for sending certificates, awards & accolades. We do not use your email id for marketing.
We have not used/sold any Sustainability Ambassador email id to finance our operations. We wish to continue with this philosophy. It is difficult to predict future scenario which are uncertain, complex, dynamic & volatile. So our wish should not be taken as our promise.
SPSC has never used email id for marketing. This applies to even SPSC activities, events, conferences, etc.
