Alethea Global is a sustainability consulting worker cooperative specializing in transforming international education into a more just & climate-conscious sector.
What Are The Challenges?
We are facing a climate justice emergency and your students are begging for change. In a 2019 QS Survey of prospective international students, more than 90% believe that universities should be doing more to be environmentally sustainable!
The international education industry continues to grow and create more global citizens but this growth, and the operations required to sustain it, also contribute to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions.
Our team believes:
- These challenges are facing every dimension of international education
- Equity, diversity, and inclusion efforts must consider climate justice
- The time to transform is now

Why a Worker Co-op?
The truth about an organization’s values can be found in the structure upon which it is built. In choosing a worker cooperative as an enterprise structure, the Alethea founding members chose to “walk the talk” and centre worker and community well-being. A worker cooperative, by virtue of being democratically-controlled and ascribing to co-operative principles, is a more just and sustainable business model than a traditional privately-held company.
This choice allows us to prioritize providing fulfilling employment to our co-op members and a meaningful service to our community over maximizing profits for shareholders. Our members proudly share ownership and operational strategy of the cooperative.
