Our co-founder James Hand recently spoke on the amazing #feedtheplanet podcast: A Guide to Climate Friendly Food Choices. You can check it out here...
“Do what you can, start where you are, keep going, think progress, don't aim for perfection.” I really loved this advice from James Hand, Co-founder of Giki, an app which helps people understand and reduce their carbon footprint. He was the guest for our last episode of our #FeedthePlanet podcast series. Other interesting things he said: 🚍 Transport and packaging contribute a very small amount of your food’s carbon footprint - avoid food flown by plane, but freight by boat has low emissions. 🥗 Food waste - avoid it, if you can’t, don’t send it to landfill. 🥕 Eating more plants and reducing red meat can half your carbon footprint from food 🌍 Your actions can feel small, but if lots of people are all making changes, that can build a momentum You can listen via Acast on most podcast platforms including Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Amazon Music.

If your company has started thinking about transition plans (or know they need to), then check out some of the questions asked of our co-founder Jo Hand on our webinar last week.

🟢Top questions on Transition Plans🟢 At Giki's latest Green Champions webinar, we welcomed Kate Ryan, Transition Plan expert, who leads international engagement at the Transition Plan Taskforce (TPT). Transition Plans are one of the most exciting developments in sustainability I've seen over the last two decades, because they answer the all important question of 'How' an entity will decarbonise. Here are some of the excellent questions raised during the meeting: ❓What does a good transition plan look like? It is a strategic, holistic plan, covering emissions reductions across the entirety of scopes 1,2,3. It also encompasses an assessment of risks and opportunities associated with climate change, as well as a broader assessment on climate impacts of an entity's actions and how to tackle them. ❓What is the best approach to making a Transition Plan as an SME, when every year and every project can be different? Taking a principles based approach can help address variabilities, and getting started is the key. Don't let the quest for perfection get in the way of the good. ❓Is it normal to have different Transition Plans for operations in different countries? It is best practice to have a single global plan. However, within a plan, different jurisdictions may have different goals, plans, priorities and challenges that might be managed differently. #TransitionPlans #NetZero #ClimateChange
