Plentify

As part of the Google Startups for Sustainable Development programme, our Chief of Staff, Zenon Kripki, is participating in a 5-week impact campaign alongside global startups. 🚀 This initiative is helping us develop a robust framework to measure our progress against the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Action). By defining key metrics, we’re setting the stage to track and amplify our impact on building a cleaner, more sustainable future. 💡

In true Plentify style, we wrapped up 2024 with our Great End-of-Year Plentify Quiz! 🎉 With the Cape Town team gathering in person at the office and the rest of our team joining virtually from across South Africa and the globe, it was a fantastic way to come together, share some laughs, and celebrate the year. 🚀 After the quiz, the Cape Town team kept the festivities going with a braai at the office—a perfect way to end a year filled with hard work and achievements.💜 We couldn’t be prouder of everything the Plentify family has accomplished in 2024, and we’re already looking ahead to the exciting things 2025 has in store.✨
