• Promote a planetary-consciousness approach
• Promote a holistic understanding of the environment
• Promote sustainable ways of living and practicing as social workers
• Promote eco-integrity ethics
• Advocate the need to embed sustainability and spirituality in the social work curriculum
• Promote adding a spiritual model to bio-psycho-social assessment
• Advocate that human-constructed ethics should not promote the exploitation of animals
• Identify the consequences of slow violence and ways macro, meso and micro social work practice can bring about social change
• Promote the decolonization of social work practice
• Critically analyse the challenges neoliberalism brings forth
