Celebrating Earth Day with ŌKU New Zealand: Embracing Tradition and Sustainability As we celebrate Earth Day, it's crucial to reflect on the practices that contribute to the health of our planet. At ŌKU New Zealand, our core mission intertwines with the essence of this global observance. Born from a profound appreciation for the native flora of Aotearoa, New Zealand, our venture is more than just a business—it's a tribute to the deep-rooted wisdom of our ancestors, or tipuna, who practised living in  harmony with Papatūānuku, our Earth Mother. But ŌKU is about more than just harnessing the power of nature for health benefits. We are on a mission to integrate the principles of mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge), kaitiakitanga (guardianship and conservation), and sustainability into every aspect of our operations. This commitment guides us to make choices that respect and protect our natural resources, ensuring that we contribute positively to our environment and community. On Earth Day, as we join millions around the world in initiatives to protect our planet, ŌKU New Zealand invites you to reflect on the impact of traditional practices on modern sustainability efforts. By embracing mātauranga Māori, we not only preserve these traditions but also implement practices that have a real impact on our environment. The ethos of Earth Day aligns perfectly with what we strive for every day: to heal and protect our land, which in turn heals and protects us. As we continue to explore and expand our understanding of the symbiotic relationship between the land and our health, let us remember the message our tipuna imparted through their lifestyle and teachings. In essence, the journey towards a sustainable future is deeply rooted in learning from the past, the wisdom of our ancestors, so that we leave behind a better world for future generations. #EARTHDAY2024 Scott Smith

Welcome to Day Two of #CoProWeek #CoProduction Week 🧁 Today we offer our project worker Sophie Stone's take on the 'cake analogy' where we compare different ways to approach making a cake to the different ways of working together to co-produce a service or strategy. Sophie says: "In a recent training session we offered to our #ExpertsByExperience (EbEs), I talked through the different ways of working together... educating and informing, consulting, engaging, co-designing and co-producing. "Then we discussed as a group how these ways of working together can fit under the ‘doing to’, ‘doing for’ or ‘doing with’ categories of co-production." 🍰 DOING TO (or educating and informing) is when someone shows you how to make a cake. You don't influence what it looks or tastes like, but you learn how to make a cake. 🍰 DOING FOR (or consulting and engaging) is when you help a friend make a cake for someone you care about. You give suggestions on what it should look like... but you don't make the final decisions on what the finished cake is like. 🍰 DOING WITH (or co-designing and co-producing) is when you make a cake in partnership with a friend, deciding what it should look like, taste like and how many tiers it should have. You make all the decisions together. Sophie concludes: "All of these ways of working together at different times and in different environments are valid. "It is really important to be transparent about the nature of the work that you’re doing with people. "At Grapevine, we’ve created these visuals to help our EbEs understand and identify the way they’re working with people in the #health and #SocialCare system. "Understanding the context, developing the skills needed and sharing the power of decision making in order to truly sit in the ‘doing with’ category is a process that takes time to get right."

It is Earth Day today! 🌎 At TriOn we're committed to doing good for the Earth and our environment. We have put in place everyday habits, no matter how big or small, that play a part in collectively making a positive change. Since day 1, we have embraced the following practices in both formal and informal ways: 📝 Paperless We're completely digital in our work which eliminates the usage of paper. This also helps to reduce waste from any hard materials. This applies to everything from our name cards to WIP reports to media materials to our contracts and everything else in between. 🚈 Avid users of public transport and cab-pooling The TriOn team has pledged to limit our carbon footprint through our transportation habits. We opt to take the excellent public transport system in Singapore where we can. Charu, Marion and Joel also try to share cabs when headed to the same work destinations – works great as all 3 of them live near-by. ♻️ Happy collaborators with and supporters of sustainability-focused clients Many businesses are doing fantastic work for the environment via innovative projects and community support. We're always delighted to highlight such exemplary work so that more people can be inspired to care for our planet. As we celebrate Earth Day 2024, let's remember that each one of us has the capability to make a positive impact on the planet in our everyday lives. Change starts with each of us. #EarthDay2024 #TriOnandCo

What will you do today for a healthier planet? Myself, whenever possible, I choose walking, biking or public transportation. 🚉 That’s the case of today, traveling to one of our plants in Catalunya. Will be seated comfortably, and can even work during the journey. 🙌 Every choice we do matter. At work, at home, everywhere. We take Net Zero very seriously at #ESTEVE, but more than this responsibility, what drives me it’s the desire to care for our ONLY planet. 🌍 The home of my family and future generations, if we act now. 👉 I invite you to reflect: what will you do today for a healthier planet? #NetZero #Sustainability #GreenPlanet

🌍 **Happy World Earth Day!** 🌿 I'm lucky enough to live in a beautiful part of the world! And today, as we celebrate our planet and contemplate the ways we can better protect and preserve it, it might be a good time to reflect on the powerful lessons we've learned during the pandemic. One such insight is the incredible potential of virtual events in reducing our carbon footprint, which is why I always ask my clients: ① Would hybrid be a viable option to extend the reach and reduce the carbon footprint? ② How will you engage with your audience post event? ⓷ Would virtual be a good way to as a touchpoint between each of the in-person events? At Frog Events, we've seen first-hand how virtual and hybrid events can dramatically decrease the need for travel, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions and be much kinder to the planet. As companies continue to innovate in communication technology, the benefits extend beyond just environmental; they also offer scalability, flexibility and inclusivity in corporate communication. This World Earth Day, let's commit to integrating more sustainable practices like virtual events into our everyday business processes. Someone once said: "It's not just about making a change—it's about making a difference" Let's use our learnings to champion sustainability in every meeting, conference, and seminar, by asking those 3 simple questions when we next plan an event. Here’s to making every day Earth Day! 🌏✨ #WorldEarthDay #Sustainability #VirtualEvents #CorporateSustainability #GreenBusinessPractices

As a true believer that #Sustainability is for everyone, this project is close to my heart ... and real fun! I consider myself as an ambassador and joined Zentiva's Planet Bootcamp, to be fair, at beginner level. Every small step counts, therefore, I am starting with meatless days, paperless billing, car-free days and no single-use plastic in my household. And what about you? #Sustainability #EverySmallStepCounts
