Yorkshire Sustainability Festival, which started on 10 June, is running until the end of this week. The festival is a reminder of the collective effort needed to protect our environment and build a sustainable future. 💫 Celebrating Yorkshire champions Earlier this year, we were proud sponsors of the inaugural TheBusinessDesk.com Yorkshire Sustainability Awards, celebrating the achievements of local businesses and initiatives that are making a significant impact across a diverse range of sectors. These companies are leading the way in eco-efficiency and setting benchmarks for others to follow. We wanted to take the opportunity to recognise the shortlist and winners again: Innovation – C-Capture Ltd., Leeds Social Impact in Sustainability – Quorn Foods SME Business (Up to £50m turnover) - Yorkshire Garden Centres Investment – Moores Furniture Group Circular Economy Excellence – Harrison Spinks Large Business (£50m+ turnover) – Gripple UK & Ireland Best Partnership - Align Property Partners Property and Construction – NG Bailey Overall winner – Quorn Foods We understand that businesses have a responsibility to remain conscious of and to actively reduce their environmental impact. It’s also essential that organisations proactively address how they can meet high standards of social considerations, public transparency, and legal accountability, too. We helped Engage Interactive become a certified B Corporation, giving them a more organised and measured approach to important issues, aligning them with similarly-minded people and businesses, and making them a more attractive agency in a world where ethical focus is a global priority. 📃 You can read the full case study here: https://lnkd.in/eS7_RNYd ➡ Our own commitment Our approach to sustainability is not just about compliance. It’s about creating a positive impact on our community, our environment, and our future. ◽We monitor our carbon footprint: We’ve partnered with Flotilla to monitor our carbon footprint and we’re continuously working on strategies to reduce it. ◽We are always looking for opportunities to make improvements in our environmental responsibility.

Value of Green Building

Upcoming Webinar: Bringing Sustainability to the Building Buildings have a significant impact on the environment. As builders, installers, and contractors continue to develop projects, it is crucial to gain an understanding of how we can reduce the carbon footprint of both building construction and ongoing operation. This webinar, co-presented by Leviton Network Solutions and Green Building Initiative (GBI), looks at sustainability from the perspective of the built environment and the structured cabling solutions we deploy as a key foundation of this environment. It illustrates the impact our buildings have on the planet, and the role Green Building certification plays in helping to quantify and minimize that impact. REGISTER TODAY!
