Is your business struggling to navigate the corporate sustainability landscape? 🌱 The number of organisations who have pledged to reach net-zero is growing day by day, and the push for businesses to reduce their carbon emissions has never been more critical. As such, a growing number of frameworks have been developed to support organisations on their emissions reduction journey. However, with various standards available—each with different focus areas and requirements—it can be challenging to determine which best suits your business’s sustainability goals. In our latest blog, we compare the strengths, weaknesses and approaches of some of the most commonly used sustainability standards in the UK, including: • PAS 2060 • ISO 14068-1:2023 • ISO 14064-1 • BSI Flex 3030 • EightVersa’s Natural Carbon Solutions • SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standards Dive in here 👉 https://hubs.la/Q02SVKZb0 #ForOurPlanet #ClimateAction #ClimateSolutions #Sustainability #SBTi

Curious about what afforestation carbon removal is? 🤔 In our new spotlight series, we’re exploring the various projects you can support through the Ecologi Impact Shop. This week we’re exploring afforestation carbon removal. Scroll through to learn more about this type of project, how it helps to remove carbon from the atmosphere and the additional benefits associated with it. At Ecologi we work with carbon intelligence platform Sylvera to seek out highly-rated ARR projects which are genuinely additional – storing more carbon than the ‘business-as-usual’ scenario – as well as contributing towards co-benefits like job creation. Funding carbon removal credits, such as afforestation projects, can complement your business's broader net-zero strategy alongside emission reductions. Additionally, supporting such projects is an excellent way to contribute to climate action while working toward emission reductions, in line with the concept of Beyond Value Chain Mitigation (BVCM). Visit the Impact Shop today to support afforestation carbon removal 👉 https://lnkd.in/d2zrDFfi #ForOurPlanet #Afforestation #ClimateAction #ClimateSolutions #CarbonRemoval

Not long to go until we’re back with our daily coverage for COP29 🗓️This year’s event takes place in Baku, Azerbaijan from 11-22 November. Last year’s event saw some notable achievements - for the first time ever, the final agreement called on countries to ‘transition away’ from fossil fuels and on the opening day a dedicated loss and damage fund was officially set-up to support those nations most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. However many were critical of the final text for not going far enough, and of the Presidency for declaring a consensus on the final text before all countries were aligned with it. Here’s a heads up on what we’re anticipating this year… 🇦🇿 Controversy surrounding this year’s host country, Azerbaijan, as Oil and Gas make up 92.5% of the country’s GDP per capita. 💰 A strong focus on climate finance, with COP29 being coined the Finance COP. Disappointingly, Nature and Biodiversity and Oceans and Coastal Zones appear to be taking more of a back seat, as those topics are scheduled for the final day before negotiations. 🤔 Attendance from figures such as Ed Miliband, the newly appointed Secretary of State for Energy and Net Zero, but with the US election just five days before COP29, the President is unlikely to be there. We’ll have our ears to the ground the entire time to keep our community up to date with how everything unfolds. Stay tuned...

Do you know what biochar carbon removal is? 🤔 Biochar is a stable, carbon-rich form of charcoal made by heating organic waste materials (such as wood, agricultural residues, or other biomass) in a low-oxygen environment through a process called pyrolysis. This high-carbon substance can store carbon for hundreds to thousands of years, and has multiple benefits, including improving soil health, enhancing water retention, reducing the need for chemical fertilisers, and mitigating climate change by sequestering carbon 🙌 At Ecologi, we’ve been working with the family-run team at Woodtek to support the biochar production at their farm, Carbon Hill, located in the picturesque landscapes of Welshpool, Wales. Join us on a virtual visit to the site, to find out more about the process of creating biochar and how it’s used to enhance soil health and fertility. Your business can support carbon removal projects, such as biochar production, on the Ecologi Impact Shop 👉 https://lnkd.in/eJW5upeE #ForOurPlanet #ClimateAction #ClimateSolutions #CarbonRemoval #Biochar
