NV Energy’s Post

2023 at Govan Brown was a year defined by belonging. From coast to coast, our goal was to make strides to ensure we are building places that reinforce the importance of each piece – and person – and that we continue to add to the colourful mosaic of our industry. We connected to those around us to achieve historic milestones across our core values – working smart, playing hard, and giving back. And as the pieces came together, one thing became clear – GB does it differently.   Read our 2023 Corporate Social Responsibility Report to learn how each piece contributed to the big picture of our mission: https://lnkd.in/e6agE75c #CorporateSocialResponsibility #Construction #WeBuildDifferently #PuttingthePiecesTogether

Since 2015, The Solutions Project has invested: more than $50,000,000 to 300 grantees — led mostly by women of color. Swing by our website and meet some of them! Some leaders will advocate that local utility companies offer residents a renewable energy option. Others may focus on reducing pollution in marginalized communities. Whatever the focus, The Solutions Project is here to support by: - Directing funds to women and people of color leaders - Providing media training and other resources to frontline communities - Amplifying the solutions of grassroots leaders, using our media and celebrity relationships Tag someone we should know! #Solutionary #TheSolutionsProject #ClimateJustice

This is a summary of our proposal for the solar energy challenge by ewz, Patagonia and naturenergie at this year's Climathon Zurich: We noticed that most information and advocacy about rooftop solar is primarily targeting homeowners. However a majority of Swiss residents (> 60%) are tenants - even more so in urban areas like Zurich (>90%). Retrofitting rooftop solar on multi-tenant buildings tends to be a complex multi-stakeholder affair. While this can in many cases be (slightly) profitable, it's usually nobody's problem, mission or job description. Many successful projects tend to have a passionate champion who goes above and beyond their duty to drive the project forward, sometimes without any formal authority. For any given building, this champion could also be one of the tenants. Tenants tend to be invested in local affairs, they are usually many and we already know where they live... Hence we propose that any campaign which aims to promote rooftop solar in urban areas should (also) specifically address tenants and empower them to become this champion for a solar project in their building or neighbourhood. https://lnkd.in/eGcKvXxS H/T to team EnerHero: Milena Bielefeldt, Noémie Schaub, Nikola Vulin, Martin Landers

It’s nearer the end of Co-production Week than the beginning - time to find out what SCIE have found is missing when attempts are made to truly co-produce services as they are designed, developed and as they evolve. True co-production is challenging, sometimes confusing along the way, and in my experience always rewarding for all involved in the end. Here is a definition from SCIE: ‘Co-production is about working in equal partnership with people using services, carers, families and citizens. Co-production offers the chance to transform social care and health provision to a model that offers people real choice and control.’ My suggestion is to find out how coproduction is working in your county to improve services. In my opinion it really matters. #UK #CoProWeek #CoProductionWeek #CoProduction #SocialCare An opportunity to find out #HowWeKnowThat it works where you live.

Happy new month from our team to yours! May this month bring new projects, new successes, and new opportunities to map out the future.

We often talk about global reach and international impact, but I believe true global change starts with local innovations and community engagement. As a global company, we've seen firsthand how small, local actions can ripple out to create widespread impact. That's why we're so passionate about Spearhead Project Earth. Our Burlington Island cleanup educates volunteers about environmental impact while they actively improve the shoreline. Participants gain hands-on experience in conservation and learn about the island's rich history. The enthusiasm I see in our volunteers, from individuals to large groups, is truly inspiring. Want to make a difference? Our next few cleanups are August 29th and September 5th. If you can't make it in person, consider supporting our mission through a donation. You can learn more, volunteer, or contribute at spearheadprojectearth.org. Every action ripples outward, creating a cleaner, healthier future for our waterways and communities. #CommunityImpact #SustainabilityInAction #SpearheadProjectEarth

At Whitby Wood we celebrate our birthday by coming together as a growing, global practice to think about the big picture — what we want to be doing and how we can make a difference.   Senior management sit this one out. The birthday meeting is a time for everyone to put forward their ideas of what the future at Whitby Wood should look like, and what action we must take to get there.   How can we use our skills and passion to have a meaningful influence and make an impact? What does this mean in terms of leading our clients towards a lower-carbon future?   Associate Pedro Natário said: “We get the chance to look back on the past year, to talk about what we enjoy and what we’re doing better. We can also see the company’s response to the ideas that were raised last year. As a collective voice we can offer management clear insight and direction. It’s our opportunity to really shape our future.”   Each year we agree on our priorities and a clear set of actionable goals to deliver together over the year ahead. This approach is empowering and fun, and it unites us in thinking about the purpose that drives what we do.   Engineering as if people matter.   #wearewhitbywood #birthdaymeeting #businessideas #careers #celebration #engineers #impact #joinus #investorsinpeople #vision

It's hard to imagine only 28% of Americans get to choose their energy provider, especially when 78% indicated they want the power to choose. Energy choice isn't just about convenience; it's about empowering individuals to make cost-effective decisions that align with their needs. That's why #RESA advocates for policies that promote competition and enable consumers to access the energy solutions that work best for their unique needs. #EnergyChoice #Empowerment #Advocacy #Sustainability
