Yesterday, our Sustainability Strategist and Advisor, Erin Maher, was able to attend Sustainable Cork Programme: Infrastructure and Biodiversity: Sustaining Cork’s Future. The event was hosted by Cork Chamber in association with Cork Chamber Skillnet, ESB Generation & Trading, and Statkraft at the Education, Conservation and Research Centre at Fota Wildlife Park. This event was incredibly informative, covering interesting topics relating to biodiversity, infrastructure, and our role as businesses. Facilitated by Maria Kirrane (Head of Sustainability and Climate Action, University College Cork), an expert panel consisting of Henry Bouchier (Manager, Civil, Environmental and Renewable Engineering, ESB Generation & Trading), Michael Goan (Urban Design and Sustainability Manager, Land Development Agency), and Colette Shirley (Director of Sustainability, Bank of Ireland), led an engaging discussion and answered audience questions. The panel highlighted practical actions like measuring baseline biodiversity, implementing no-mow green spaces, and understanding the potential and actual impacts your actions can have on local biodiversity. This conversation was particularly timely and important, as biodiversity considerations are included in #CSRD reporting. Whether you are directly in scope of the legislation or in the value chain of a reporting, understanding, measuring, and acting to improve your impact on biodiversity is key. Specific biodiversity considerations that are included in #CSRD reporting include actions taken to protect ecosystems and positive or negative impacts on local biodiversity. As an SME, the best way to get started with biodiversity and prepare for information requests is to map, measure, and understand your current impacts. This may include starting with learning and taking advantage of educational opportunities like Sustainable Cork Programme: Infrastructure and Biodiversity: Sustaining Cork’s Future. After the panel discussion, a group from many different businesses hopped on a bus and went to the ESB Aghada Power Station for a tour and discussion of the future of energy production, transmission, and providers in Ireland. We discussed the necessity for batteries to help stabilise the grid in times of high demand or low output from renewables as well as how the plant has changed and become more efficient over time. The team who showed us around was very knowledgeable and answered all questions thoroughly. It was an incredibly interesting and unique experience! Throughout the day, Erin was able to engage with other passionate professionals from all different industries who all cared about making a positive impact. We are so excited to be a part of the Cork Chamber community! Thank you to the event organisers for an incredible day! #biodiversity #infrastructure #sdgs #sustainability 🌱
