When circularity is climate smart? The energy transition (decarbonization and electrification of our grids) will get us only half way to Net-Zero. The remaining reduction will come from circular, regenerative production and consumption systems ... https://lnkd.in/gRsEDZu4

Lime Supply has saved over 115.17 tonnes of CO2e. That's the equivalent to 346 metres of sea ice rescued, and 88 long-haul flights! ✈🌍 We're taking real climate action on our journey to net-zero. Check out our latest carbon offset update for proof. This month, we revisited some high-quality carbon projects. 🌳 Our small steps are leading to big sustainable changes, all thanks to your highly valued custom and support. From how many trees we planted, to the carbon reduction programmes we are supporting. There's plenty of exciting new updates to prove we are sowing the seeds of change.

Planting trees has now become an exercise in green washing. Carbon Offsets that are tied to planting trees are exactly that. Carbon Offsets make no difference in the overall emissions - its just virtue signaling. If we want to plant more tree, by all means do - but not for virtue signaling or because it makes an impact in our overall emissions. #greenwashing #virtuesignalling #carbonoffsets

As the European Commission has presented its Communication on EU climate target for 2040, Swedish Forest Industries Federation (SFIF) Director General, Viveka Beckeman welcomes the Commission’s proposed target, the focus on bioeconomy as an enabler and the outreach for dialogue with industry in a process that could prove decisive for the future of the EU’s green transition. “The Swedish forest industries have taken a lead in the green transition – and we will continue to do so – but we need a sustainable framework within which to make the investments needed for the EU to achieve its environmental goals,” Beckeman says. #climate #sustainability #greentransition Read the article 👇

It's World Environment Day! 🌍 Today is the perfect day to unite with others campaigning to protect our planet and celebrate the steps we've made to limit our impact on the environment. Here's just a little snapshot of some of our recent achievements: ✅ Carbon emissions dropped across the business by 26.6% in the year to 2024. ✅ Thanks to our switch to HVO fuel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) for our on-plant vehicles, we've slashed diesel use at our Brand on and Nazeing sites by 45% and 23.6% respectively. ✅ Work is currently underway on a brand-new eco block, but we're keeping things hush-hush for now... By continuing to work on our environmental impact, we ensure that we are making the right steps towards our 2030 net zero goal.

““Killing greenwashing doesn’t mean stop investing in nature,” he says. “It means doing it right. It means distributing wealth to the Indigenous populations and farmers and communities who are living with biodiversity.” I’ve seen and heard of great examples of this, and we mustn’t be put off by the “greenwashing” fear. There is virtue in the win, win, win of the local economy being supported in communities surrounded by forests, mangrove swamps, peat bogs, any naturally occurring carbon sink you can think of, working to drive preservation and natural expansion, funded by investments from whoever can invest. As our understanding develops we must focus on this type of “in-setting”, as nature has the power to reverse our man-made mistakes. Another type of “in-setting” comes from ‘avoided emissions’ such as occurs when you insulate and upgrade homes to reduce the use of fossil fuels within it. These investments if given a value to corporations in the world of emissions reduction would drive such investment much better than “levy’s” from government ever can. This could be done alongside mandated annual emissions reductions as a specified qualifier to participate to avoid the greenwashing detailed in this article - couldn’t it?
