Forest Stewardship Council’s Post

As a small business on a big planet, it would be easy to think that what we do doesn't really matter, but we know these days it really couldn't matter more. When far bigger entities than us commit to inaction or even undoing protections to f*ck the planet for generations to come, it is essential that everyone makes noise and takes action wherever they can. We are far from perfect. As individuals and as a business, we are consistently working to make what we do congruent with a truly sustainable future. It's not easy, especially against a backdrop that can make you feel too small to matter. But it is part of the 'extraordinary' we are trying to achieve with every client, grateful for how they and Ecologi | B Corp™ allow us to make even a small difference. It's nice to see Ecologi share small slivers of progress and positivity. Knowing you can matter and can make a difference is a powerful thing. We hope that one day the 'ordinary' is making long term decisions that are right for our environment and economies. Until that time, we'll keep trying our best to do that bit 'extra' so our events aren't at the expense of the environment. Thank you to the clients, collaborators and committed team at Image who made that possible in 2023. #Marketing #Events #Sustainability

Following the success of the first #BlueMissionBANOS Arena in Gothenburg, Sweden last November, we are pleased to announce that the next Blue Mission Arena 2 will be taking place in Riga, Latvia on 25-26 April 2024, back-to-back with the 2024 Ministerial Meeting on the Baltic Sea Marine Environment. This Mission Arena will focus on regional actors in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Finland and East Sweden. The key stakeholders in this Arena will be Mission Ocean-relevant actors who will have the opportunity to engage with current and future actions in this region. Over the course of two days, we will showcase progress, discuss open needs, and plan the next steps to transform this region’s blue economy to be more carbon-neutral, environmentally friendly, and circular. All participants will then have the chance to vote on the Roadmap towards Mission Ocean and Water’s success for this region at the final Mission Assembly. This Arena will not only focus on the Baltic Sea as such but also cover ‘#BlueOnLand’, i.e., lakes, rivers and wastewater. Topics include #fishery & #aquaculture, #shipping and #ports, #nutrients and #pollution leakage to the ocean and waters, #waterborne #transport, nature #protection and #restoration, #sustainable products, and all actions required to transform these sectors. Discussions will be framed across 15 specific workshop themes. When you register, please indicate whether you want to make an active contribution to one of them. Suggestions accepted until 15th March. Please note that places will be limited and priority will be given to local actors. Register here! https://lnkd.in/gg-bSQMm #MissionArenaBANOS2 #CoolBlueBaltic

Let's dive into how Environmental and Social Impact Assessment #ESIA plays a critical role in shaping a more sustainable world! 🌍 1. Urban Renewal and Community Empowerment: ESIA helps transform urban spaces, involving local communities to create environments that enhance both city life and resident engagement. 2. Harnessing Renewable Energy: ESIA drives innovative designs in renewable energy projects, ensuring harmony with surroundings and maximizing clean energy potential. 3. Eco-Friendly Tourism: ESIA guides the development of sustainable resorts, balancing economic benefits with the preservation of natural beauty. 4. Biodiversity Conservation: In forestry initiatives, ESIA safeguards local ecosystems by influencing logging practices and promoting native species planting. 5. Resilient Infrastructure: ESIA shapes resilient infrastructure projects that anticipate climate change impacts, ensuring functionality and adaptability. These examples highlight how ESIA contributes to projects that align with sustainability goals. As we conclude our ESIA series, remember, assessment isn't just about rules—it's about crafting a better world for everyone. Stay connected for more insights on sustainability, impact assessment, and our shared journey towards a brighter future. #ESIA #Sustainability #ImpactAssessment #PositiveChange
