Things to do in May to contribute to the regeneration of the environment:
- watch the grass and wild flowers grow in your garden
- count the birds and insects you see everyday
- take into account the multiple bank holidays when you set your objectives for the month
- have one walking meeting with a colleague - time it well if you are in the UK

and and... come and talk to me this Thursday at MillHouse Wooburn about all the other great things you could do through your business to make a positive contributor to the planet and our society!

A key challenge when it comes to sustainability for SMEs is accessibility: accessibility of support, solutions and resources.

I'm working on bringing support to those who are willing to engage in the process.
Once a month, I post myself at MillHouse Wooburn to meet local entrepreneurs and get the discussion going.
I'll be there on May 18th, should you want to pop in for a 30 min chat - no charge!

The more of us committing time and resources to be part of the solution, the brighter our collective future!

March is the month to celebrate the arrival of Spring and renewal in Nature
It also is B Corp Month (B Corp UK)

Martin Knowles and I have planned the Spring session of the Thames Valley Sustainability Network, as a Networking lunch kindly hosted by Sacla UK Ltd.
Clare Blampied will share with us her passion about becoming a B Corp, how it translates into her everyday business decision and what it is like to collaborate with a parent company to get certified.

Come and join us for nibbles and drinks AND great conversations with like minded entrepreneurs at the place that Brough pesto to British tables!

See you there!

I'm hosting a panel discussion on May 18th to discuss return to the workplace and how it will need to be approached differently as 'business as usual' no longer apply, and more than ever is not a state we want to go back to!

We will be talking about making people safe, acknowledge their mental state and give them tool to feel their best in the work context

Wellbeing is as essential to saving of the planet as decreasing our carbon footprint!
let's start with what businesses can do about this very important matter and go from there!

I love Positive News even more on a Monday morning
Have a great week everybody, knowing that people do walk the talk on their pledge to do good for the planet!

A growing number of businesses are diverting revenues to progressive causes, including one small firm that has just given away £1m

Calling onto info and thoughts

I love chocolate, I do , I do , I do... but I don't like the idea that a kid is being forced to harvest the cocoa beans so that I can enjoy a chocolate button

I am calling upon all my knowledgeable friends to help me out...
There are so many claims out there with regard to Fairtrade cocoa, Rainforest Alliance certification, UTZ... to name but a few
The big chocolate guys are making fabulous claims about all the good they are doing for the cocoa farming community worldwide, yet things are going in the wrong direction, more kids are being enslaved to harvest in illegal cocoa plantations that destroy rain forests

Tony Chocolonely got pulled out of the 'Do Gooders' list recently for being associated with Barry Callebault
but I want to believe that they were actually doing good

Anybody out there that can help me square this circle?

Starting this page with an article that needs a bit more researching
https://edition.cnn.com/2021/02/17/world/climate-hypocrites-uk-canada-norway-intl/index.html

I am interested in the challenge there of how to fund climate friendly initiatives, and the conundrum linked to petrol money
I'm also curious about the fact that CNN of all media would publish this type of article...

All open for debate!

In Oslo, street lamps are powered by renewables. To conserve energy, the smart lights dim when nobody is around. The Norwegian capital, like the rest of the country, is proud of its exceptional green credentials. Its public transportation system too is powered entirely by renewable energy. Two third...
