About Us
Who started Simpol?
Simpol started as an idea which occurred to British businessman, John Bunzl, towards the end of 1998. It was developed and published in the book The Simultaneous Policy – An Insider’s Guide to Saving Humanity and the Planet in 2001.
How is the Simpol organisations incorporated?
Simpol is part of The International Simultaneous Policy Organisation (ISPO) and is presently an informal, non-profit umbrella organisation. Simpol is organised and managed by its members. National Coordinators enable wider involvement in Simpol by organising campaigns, recruiting volunteers and inspiring people to adopt Simpol through our project work.
The Founding Declaration of Simpol-UK explains more about the principles of how we work and the relationship to ISPO, the International Simpol Organisation. As Simpol’s international network grows ISPO’s organisational structure, operation and responsibilities will be developed by all its members.
Simpol is presently funded by voluntary donations from Simpol Adopters, by proceeds from sales of John Bunzl’s book and other books published by ISPO and by grants from not-for-profit foundations. Neither ISPO nor Simpol are permitted to accept funding from for-profit organisations.
