Welcome to the LEaF Newsletter
Happy 2023! I hope you had a great Christmas and New Year and have started January full of enthusiasm for what this year may bring. Looking ahead is the theme of this month’s newsletter – as has become tradition, we share our goals for the year and hope we can inspire you too. We also have exciting news to share concerning our membership of the Good Business Charter, and a mini feature on one of our great clients – bicycle insurance cooperative, LAKA.
We hope that 2023 is a great year for you personally and professionally, and that we can continue adding a pinch of positivity and inspiration to your day each month through our monthly newsletters. Let’s make 2023 a year to remember (for the right reasons!)

Re-accreditation with the Good Business Charter
————————————————
Two years ago we were the first translation company to join the Good Business Charter and now we have been re-accredited. It feels fantastic to be recognised by this great organisation, whose values align so deeply with ours. To find out more about the GBC and our commitment to ethical business and sustainability, read our recent blog here.
Word of the Month
We thought this was a great word to begin the year and to share with you this January.
The Japanese concept of wabi-sabiis fabulous and we believe it is really important to try and find the beauty in everything, especially in imperfections. Keep this in mind if you’re struggling to see the positives.
Our goals for 2023:
——————————
- Sustainability is still a top priority for us, therefore we would like to reach 2500 trees planted in our virtual forest and 65t of carbon reduction. Keep an eye on our Ecologi page to see how we get on.
- We want to increase our reach and have the ability to inspire more people (either to love languages or to live sustainably), to do this we want to hit 500 Instagram followers and 600 LinkedIn followers.
- When it comes to our work in the industry, we couldn’t choose just one goal, we want to:
- Increase our presence in Germany, we have more German content to come on our website.
- Work with more ethical businesses like KOBA and Salt of the Earth to help them increase their international sales.
- Grow our presence in the SEO industry and become the go-to SEO translation company.
