Sustainability and Ethical Practices Statement

Sustainability and Ethical Practices Statement

At InkHarmony, we are deeply committed to sustainable and ethical practices across all aspects. We believe in transparency and wish to share our current approach and future commitments:

1. AI Art Usage:

  • We currently utilize AI-generated art in our publications to ensure creative content is available while managing our limited financial resources. This allows us to maintain viability as we grow.

2. Carbon Offset:

  • We have implemented a carbon offset program to address our broader environmental impact. For every payment processed through Stripe, we contribute 1% of the total amount towards carbon offsets.
  • As we grow, we are committed to increasing our contributions to carbon offset programs, ensuring a more substantial reduction in our carbon footprint.

3. Pledge to Support Human Artists:

  • As our platform achieves financial stability and growth, we pledge to allocate resources to hire graphic artists who will create human-generated art.
  • Our commitment includes replacing all AI-generated art, including archived content, with art created by talented human artists who will be compensated with a living wage.

4. Ethical Hiring Practices:

  • We have made a commitment to refrain from using freelance services marketplaces. Our decision is rooted in the belief that such platforms may inadvertently encourage the exploitation of low-wage workers in economically disadvantaged markets. We place a high value on fair compensation and ethical treatment for creative professionals.

5. Transparency and Accountability:

  • We will maintain transparency by keeping our community informed about our progress and the steps we take to fulfill our sustainability and ethical commitments.
  • We are accountable to our community and will ensure that our actions align with our stated values.

6. Ongoing Evaluation:

  • We will continuously evaluate our practices to identify and mitigate environmental and ethical concerns, striving to create a more sustainable and ethically responsible platform.

Conclusion:
At InkHarmony, we are unwavering in our dedication to a sustainable, ethical, and creative environment. While we currently rely on AI-generated art to manage financial constraints, our commitment to supporting human artists and reducing our environmental impact remains steadfast.

As we continue to grow, we will increase our efforts in carbon offsetting and, when financially able, transition to exclusive human-generated art while addressing all aspects of our platform's carbon footprint. We appreciate the support and understanding of our community as we work towards a brighter, more sustainable future.

Thank you for being a part of our mission.
