E.S.G. Solutions

We are delighted to welcome our latest addition to the E.S.G. Solutions team! Anna Rinaldi is a dynamic #sustainability consultant with a strong academic background, having obtained a Master’s Degree in Environmental Engineering from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (Barcelona, Spain) and a Bachelor Degree from the University of Bologna (Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna) (Italy). Proficient in English, Italian and Spanish, Anna’s professional career spanned several key roles in the industry, working across different geographies while she was developing and implementing #esg strategies for global organisations, conducting #netzero #carbon audits, guiding clients through BREEAM Official In-Use certifications and GRESB assessments, as well as ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 management systems. At E.S.G. Solutions Anna is going to enhance our technical and strategic capabilities around the GRESB, Net Zero Carbon and building certification agendas, strengthening the engagement with our international client base. Welcome Anna, we are thrilled to have you here! 🤝

🎯 As our company's linkedin profile exceeds 4,000 followers in our fourth year of continuous trading, we have asked our founder and managing director Antonio Messina to try and explain what is bringing three new professionals every day to engage with E.S.G. Solutions and what motivates him personally. 💡 And maybe the most inspiring words of our latest blog article came from an unsuccessful candidate for the position of sustainability consultant advertised in July, who never the less felt totally inspired by us and earlier this month has reminded us of his father's words: "A learner is never lost; they're only on the path to discovery". They've got our total reciprocal respect! 🙌

📣 We are thrilled to announce that our very own Senior Consultant Theo Bibby has been invited to participate in the latest episode of #gresb's podcast, The Pulse by GRESB! 🎙 As the first ever GRESB Accredited Professional (AP), Theo will share his invaluable experiences with the program alongside the profiles of two other GRESB APs, highlighting how formal recognition of professional competence can add value at both the individual and organisational levels. Theo will also delve into the critical need for more framework-specific accreditations such as the AP program. 🔧 At E.S.G. Solutions we are proud to have established over the years a pragmatic boutique consultancy that doesn't stop at defining high-level #esg strategies for asset managers and sustainability officers in the various sectors where we operate (#realestate, #hospitality, #finance, #banking, #highereducation, #culturalheritage, #fashion, etc.), but is also happy to get involved in the technical implementation of the proposed action plans. 🌟 Having an in-depth knowledge and first-hand delivery experience of what our clients need is of paramount importance for us and this is why, beyond GRESB APs, we employ and train professionals to become accredited BREEAM Official In-Use assessors, #epc assessors, #dec assessors, #esos lead assessors, Fitwel Certification System ambassadors, CIBSE Certification Ltd low carbon consultants, trusted by our international client base in a period where the #esg industry, with all its regulations, standards, guidelines and acronyms, is undergoing substantial change. 😉 Don't miss this insightful conversation and feel free to reach out to us at info@esgsolutionsltd.com if you would like to discuss with us about your #sustainability, #netzero, #compliance or #corporatereporting agendas!

Way to go Amelia Rees, you make us proud! 👏

🇮🇹🤝🇬🇧🤝🇬🇭 Thank you Nii Addo Mensah for the really pleasant conversation today! 🙏 With the #esg market evolving at such a fast pace it is vital to create strong international partnerships worldwide and we welcome your visit to our London office! Ad maiora 😉

After the UEFA Champions League final in London ⚽ , Wimbledon 🎾 and Formula 1's Silverstone 🏎 here's another exciting #sport event taking place in Britain this Summer that you don't want to miss. Our very own Amelia Rees has been selected to represent Wales 🐉 in the mixed open category of the Touch Rugby World Cup, with 190 teams and 4,000 players competing at the highest level in Nottingham this July! 🏉 After winning both the European Championships in 2022 and 2023, we wish her and her team the best of luck for their next challenge! ✌ https://lnkd.in/e_nGhW4q

Undertaking a site visit in person plays a key role in the validation of every marketing and #esg claim. Himera is an asset within Mangia's Resorts's portfolio that claims to be "the perfect place for those who want to totally immerse themselves in an authentic Italian vacanza of nature, art and culture...the location is a few metres from the sea, where the green of the artichoke fields blends with golden sand of the beaches". After our BREEAM Official In-Use inspection to certify the #sustainability credentials of the building we can confirm that the site goes way beyond that! We witnessed cutting-edge technology to optimise occupants #wellbeing, #thermalcomfort and #energyefficiency without any #fossilfuel being burned for the building operations, a full-electric kitchen entirely fuelled though #renewables generate on site by #solar PV panels that occupy the majority of the roof space, a totally #inclusive space without a single step from the hotel's front door until the sandy beach, dedicated car park spaces with #electricvehicles recharging stations, a vast selection of locally sourced and organic food, all major water-consuming plant fitted with #submeters with pulsed outputs capabilities, etc. Last but not least, with regard to the #biodiversity agenda, the abundance of greenery speaks for itself but what really caught our attention was that the place doesn't even need bird boxes or similar features to help the local fauna thrive: as the photo in the comments documents well...they find this building already perfect as it is for their nests! 😉

Today, 5th June 2024, was meant to be the deadline to submit the #esos Phase 3 notification for all those UK large enterprises exceeding 250 staff or exceeding an annual turnover of £44 million GBP and an annual balance sheet total of £38 million GBP. The new Manage your Energy Saving Opportunity Scheme (MESOS) online system has already seen around 7,000 accounts successfully created to date, however the Environment Agency (EA) is aware that some organisations have been unable to complete their registrations and will not be able to meet such deadline. The EA has now announced that organisations must continue to register as soon as possible and no enforcement action will be taken if ESOS participants submit their notification of compliance by the 6th August 2024, after which this regulatory enforcement extension period will cease.

GRESB has recently introduced a scheme that allows asset managers and investors to distinguish those professionals who don’t really know what they talk about from those competent #sustainability consultants who can truly add real value to their clients’ disclosure. E.S.G. Solutions is delighted to hear about the introduction of this new exam and the launch of the directory of #gresb Accredited Professionals! Feel free to contact our senior consultant Theo Bibby for further details about his latest qualification and to hear how we can help your entity embark on a successful improvement pathway and boost your #esg rating.
