We’re delighted to share with you our latest Journey to Net Zero report. We are committed to providing regular updates to maintain accountability, inform our network, and share the progress we are making. So, read the full report by following the link below, or see the summary; 👣 We’re aiming to achieve Net Zero status before 2050, aligning with the Paris Agreement and UK Government targets, leveraging science-based methods and collaborating with Normative for data-driven solutions. 👣 We now have two years’ worth of carbon footprint analysis spanning scopes 1, 2, and 3, demonstrating success in key areas such as fleet replacement initiatives and renewable energy purchases. 👣 Emission reduction targets include a 50% reduction across scopes 1 and 2 by 2030, with an intensity target set for scope 3, and achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050 across all three scopes. This includes strategies such as transitioning to hybrid vehicles, the adoption of renewable energy across all site and office premises alike, employee surveys, waste reduction initiatives, and continued supplier engagement for emission reduction. https://ow.ly/JriF50Rc3r8 #JourneyToNetZero #BuildingServices #CarbonEmissions #CarbonReduction #NetZero

Our CEO, Jose LaSalle, was recently featured in an article by the Activate team, highlighting the model we are working to realize at florrent - building a profitable business that's economically sustainable, is built upon an innovative technology, and contributes to the well-being of people and the planet. When making key decisions, as Jose notes in the article, to ensure a just energy transition we need to start by asking “Who will benefit? Who will bear the costs? And will it reduce or reinforce inequalities?” To learn more about Jose's perspective and what drives us as a company, you can find the full feature here: https://lnkd.in/gCj8j6EA #florrent #ThroughPowerWeEmpower #energyjustice #energytransition #cleanenergy

Revolutionizing Nature-Positive Practices through Innovative Data Compilation 🌿 Transformative Insights for Nature-Positive Practices: Did you know that compiling extensive nature-related data is a major challenge for corporations and nature project developers committed to adopting sustainable practices? As a professional in this space, I've been closely involved in addressing the resource-intensive nature of this task. 📊 Measuring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) Costs Unveiled: MRV costs, constituting 20%-30% of carbon project expenses, have long been a hurdle. Unlike carbon initiatives, nature projects lack a standardized metric, adding complexity and time constraints. However, I'm excited to share that emerging technologies are now paving the way for more efficient and cost-effective solutions. 🚀 Cutting-Edge Solutions in Action: One notable example involves EDF Renewables, which successfully utilized NatureMetrics' environmental DNA (eDNA) survey methods to assess the impact of an offshore wind farm on the local fish ecosystem. This non-invasive sampling technique not only reduces costs significantly but also allows for rapid and large-scale monitoring (three times as many marine species in 90% less time than conventional methods), a game-changer for offshore wind developments. Similarly, Pachama's earth observation technology tracks forest health and land use changes, providing valuable insights into ecosystem evolution over time. 🌐 Standardizing Nature Data Collection: The integration of emerging data collection technologies like eDNA and earth observation is revolutionizing how we compile nature-related data. These advancements offer the necessary scale and quality for consistent performance monitoring over time. 🤝 Vital Partnerships for Scale: Collaborating with organizations at the forefront of these innovations is crucial for corporations and project developers aiming to adopt nature-positive strategies at scale. By embracing these technologies, we not only streamline data compilation but also contribute to informed decision-making and sustainable practices in line with environmental stewardship. Let's connect and discuss how we can drive positive change through innovative solutions in the realm of nature-positive practices! 🌍 #natureinnovation #sustainabilityleadership #ecosystem #nature #naturepositive #naturepositivepractices #edna #data

PERSONAL PROJECT - MYTEPUI.COM (Section of Executive Summary) DESCRIPTION AND MISSION: A World-Wide Social-Media Platform for ENVIROMENTAL AWARENESS, INFLUENCE, and EMPOWERMENT centered on PROTECTING user-selected ‘Green Zones’ (a beach, a bird sanctuary, etc.), and here referred to as ‘Tepuis’: ·       Users rate companies and their proposed economic projects affecting their selected Tepuis. .. They rate BOTH the company’s environmental metrics, and the company’s economic benefits metrics to local communities of the Tepui ·       Statistical Auditing techniques are then used to filter out biased outliner user assessments so to achieve 95 percent certainty for the final balanced, combined company ‘Tepui Rating’ – and, recurrently updated with each user-visitor. ·       Independent sources of environmental and economic-benefit metrics – independent of Government and Industry. GOALS and BENEFITS: 1.     GOAL A: SOCIAL MEDIA ECONOMIC COUNTER FORCE that can ‘Stigmatize’, with low Tepui Ratings, proposed economic projects potentially detrimental on a Tepui, by jeopardizing them from present and future consumption. 2.     GOAL B: Incentivize Companies & Communities toward a more Focused and Coherent, and Faster, balance between Environment Protection and Sustainable Economic Development. 3.     BENEFIT A: Focused/Coordinated Protection of targeted Tepuis – NOTABLY CLIENTS MONEY MANAGEMENT/INVESTMENTS. 4.     BENEFIT B: SCALED CROSS-COMPARISON EFFORTS AMONG COMPANIES: Tepui Ratings - Revenues Normalized. 5.     BENEFIT C: Centralized Recordings, Storing, and Archiving of Environmental Information on targeted Tepuis.
