ROOF X COMMON GOAL 🌱 We want to take responsibility for the environmental impact associated with the flights ROOF Germany took in 2023 by donating money to a climate resilience initiative in countries where ROOF have a branch: Germany, Spain and the UK.🌍 We acknowledge there is currently no sustainable solution for aviation & that donations to climate resilience initiatives are tools for compensating travel associated to our daily business lives. These are short-term solutions, but it’s a step in the right direction. "As a player consultancy agency, we can't always avoid flights due to the dynamic nature of our business“, says our Managing Director Thorsten Wirth. "But we can take responsibility for our actions. By compensating our flights and investing in sustainable environmental projects, we want to take a first step in the right direction and at the same time raise awareness of sustainability in football business.“🗣️ We have teamed up with Common Goal where our ambition is to become more sustainable in the long term. The first step has been taken. Others will follow…🌱💪 #raisetheroof #bettertogether

Leading academics, national governing bodies, climate action charities, athletes, fans and key policy makers will come together at this symposium to present the key climate issues in sport and how we can overcome them. The answers to the challenges we face are not simple, but we can start by asking the vital questions.  Please join this crucial conversation as we begin co-creating a roadmap towards a sustainable future for sport and the planet. https://wp.me/p2F2y5-gfC

🌟 Exciting Event & A Heartfelt Request for Support! 🚴♂️💨 Hello! You may have seen that I’m taking part in a brilliant yet hard event called "Ride the Change" - a 4-day journey not just of distance, but of purpose! This event, powered by the excellent people at Do Nation, aims to tackle climate change by promoting sustainable transport and raising awareness on how we can all make a difference. Basically, it’s a big ol' bike ride and I’m going to be giving it my all this weekend together with Su Crighton, Hermione Taylor and a bunch of other crazy cyclists! Ride the Change is both an event and a movement towards a greener, cleaner planet. By cycling a very long distance and hopefully encouraging others to consider eco-friendly modes of transport, I’ll be taking small but significant steps towards reducing my impact. But I’m asking for your help to amplify the impact it’s going to make! Could I ask that you possibly: Share this message Or, ideally, take a moment to make a pledge (link in comments) For once, this is a challenge which isn’t asking for sponsorship. Instead, it’s asking for action. Do you fancy pledging to do something to make the world a better place instead of donating money? I’d love for you to take a look, and find something that works for you - there are loads of suggested pledges to make and each and every single one will have a positive impact as well as encourage me as I cycle from London to Brussels! I promise you - every single pledge will inspire me to keep on pedaling! Will you help me? Join me in this journey, spread the word, and help make "Ride the Change" a roaring success! 🌍💚 #RideTheChange #SustainableLiving #ClimateAction Thank you for your support!

#about1 🌍 My Greenway of Living journey: a small project that saved my life 🌍 An humble step-by-step beginning In 2016, what began as a small, personal initiative, Case à Livres inside Alama’s Garden from the RKBIENFAISANCE charity, seemed too modest to create change. Greenwayofliving concepts and projects started from home, with limited resources and a vision that felt too small for the world to notice. But when the project won the National Energy Globe Award for Côte d’Ivoire not once but twice, in 2016 and 2017, it proved that no project is too small to matter. The Energy Globe Award brought our initiatives into the spotlight, and from there, the mission grew. This recognition inspired us to keep going, reminding us that what we were doing held purpose and value. It wasn’t about how big the project was, it was about its heart and goal to create a more sustainable, connected future. In 2018, the Greenwayofliving vision was further validated when it was honored with the Green Hope and Philanthropy awards at the Influencer Awards in Monaco. This award reinforced that true influence comes from authenticity, consistency, and a commitment to making a difference, no matter how small the beginnings. 💡 It’s not about how big the project is, it’s about the potential and belief behind it. 🫶🏽 Energy Globe Award We are proud 🙏🏾 and honored to invite you to be a part of this journey, for us to grow deeper, kinder, and greener, together. 🌿 #greenwayofliving #energyglobeaward #influenceraward #sustainability #smallprojectsbigimpact #purpose #communitydriven #environmentalchange

Sponsorship for #socially #responsible #carbon #offset. It is important to practice what you preach, so I ensure all my #travel and #motorsports activities are offset. But most offset programs are filled with issues around verification and social impact. I am carbon offsetting competitive events with the Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd Cygnet. The Two Ball Rally Lakes Route 2024 includes some of the best roads and mountain passes the UK has to offer. The total mileage for the event is 160 miles. The Cygnet has an #emissions of 116 g/mile giving a total of 18.5 kg #co2. Using a carbon offset of £0.20/kg, we would normally offset only £3.70 for the event; however, I am offsetting significantly more through TMA - Third Millennium Alliance, an organization we support. Get involved in support for a great #organization that is committed to saving one of the most #biodiverse and threatened #ecosystems on the #planet.

Pollution and poor air quality affects all areas of health, including fertility. Inspired by a desire to improve sustainable practice, I decided cycling might be a greener way to travel to this year’s annual European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) conference in Amsterdam. I allowed three days to🚴♂️the UK distance from #Leicester to #Harwich and one day to cycle from the #HoekofHolland to #Amsterdam. The Netherlands has more established🚴♂️routes and is much flatter than England, so that was a welcome relief! Having attended courses via The Carbon Literacy Project and Dr Rose Deakin I aimed to fulfil my pledge to travel more sustainably. I estimated the Green House Gas (GHG) emissions for the journey and converted them to the equivalent amount of carbon dioxide, called “CO2 equivalent” or CO2e. For one way, my total🚴♂️cycle distance from Leicester to Amsterdam was 448km (29.1kg CO2e). I needed to take a🚢 from the UK to Netherlands, which covered 204km (28kg CO2e). This gave a total of 57.1kg CO2e. Alternative transport would have involved a🚘drive to Leicester train station (10kg CO2e), a 45km🚂 to Birmingham (BHX) airport (1kg CO2e), a 443km✈from BHX to Amsterdam (AMS) (111kg CO2e) and 20km 🚌 from AMS to the city (3kg CO2e), totaling 125kg CO2e. 🚴♂️saved 67.9kg CO2e. This is of course a crude estimation. If we drill down a little more into🚴♂️ there is a CO2e linked to increased food intake. Calorific use varies according to fitness level, metabolic rate, age, weight and diet. Apparently, a 70kg person cycling at 15km/h uses around 20-40 kilocalories per km. If a diet provides 3.2g CO2e per kcal, then the emissions would be 95g CO2e per km. (I am also >70kg and cycled <15km/h!). So was🚴♂️worthwhile? Without a doubt! I would totally endorse cycling to professional conferences as there are clear CO2e savings compared to other modes of transportation. 🚴♂️also increased my fitness and enabled me to see parts of England and the Netherlands that I would otherwise have missed. I also used the🚴♂️to raise funds for Klinefelter's Syndrome Association. This charity offers vital information, understanding and support to people diagnosed with an XXY karyotype., which remains a much underdiagnosed condition and can lead to infertility. Supporting the KSA helped to motivate me throughout the cycle (especially when it was pouring with rain!) and created a win-win situation👍 Kudos to Brussels IVF who also 🚴♂️ to the ESHRE meeting🎉 So now it is time for a🚴♂️challenge! If you plan to attend the 2025 ESHRE meeting in #Paris could you cycle there? If so, please get in touch! #CLinAction #sustainability #netzero #cycling #greentravel #CO2e #greehousegases #ecofriendly British Fertility Society The Association of Reproductive and Clinical Scientists X&Y Fertility

The Philanthropy Asia Alliance (#PAA), a strategic partner of the World Economic Forum to accelerate climate and nature action in #Asia, is glad to support the Forum's Giving to Amplify Earth Action (#GAEA) initiative alongside a global community of over 100 multi-sector partners. GAEA aims to mobilise multi-sector #partnerships to unlock US$50 billion for nature and climate, to shift markets and corporate practices at speed and scale. Since GAEA's launch last January, members such as PAA have launched initiatives to amplify and accelerate innovative Public-Private-Philanthropic Partnerships (PPPPs) globally. PAA was officially launched last September with over 80 members and partners from all over the world, and across sectors, collectively pledging S$1 billion to catalyse innovative solutions for global environmental and social challenges. PAA also launched the first Asia-focused GAEA deliverable - a climate philanthropy report, developed with the World Economic Forum and ClimateWorks Foundation, which underscored the state of climate #philanthropy in Asia and underscored the importance of PPPPs in bridging the US$3 trillion annual gap for equitable climate and nature solutions.
