We’re thrilled to share this insightful article penned by Dr William B., CEO of Tunley Environmental, highlighting Optima's remarkable sustainability transformation over the past five years. At Optima, we've embarked on a journey towards sustainability with a clear vision to develop and implement a comprehensive Net Zero plan. This plan, meticulously crafted, encompasses emission measurement, solar integration, and sustainable supplier development, marking a pivotal milestone in our commitment to environmental responsibility. Our collaboration with Tunley Environmental has been instrumental in accelerating our sustainability efforts, providing expert guidance and innovative strategies. Together, we've gained deeper insights into our environmental impact and implemented targeted initiatives to drive positive change. One of our proudest achievements is our pioneering utilisation of Norsk Hydro CIRCAL aluminium, championing the principles of the circular economy and setting a new standard for sustainable business practices in our industry. Transparency is key to our sustainability journey, reflected in our board-level environmental reporting. By integrating sustainability metrics, we're fostering a culture of accountability and driving positive change across our industry. As we look ahead, we're committed to furthering our sustainability initiatives, from biodiversity conservation to supply chain development, aligning our efforts with the latest climate science through initiatives like the Science Based Targets Initiative. https://lnkd.in/eCJKKDSe #Sustainability #NetZero #CircularEconomy #EnvironmentalStewardship

Thank you to UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) for including us in this report with the top sustainable solutions for the built environment. With Davos happening this week, I have seen a lot of talk about how we can reduce the carbon footprint of our buildings. There are clearly a lot of things to consider and I am not pretending it is an easy task. But I do know we can have a massive impact on operational efficiency with one key thing: building data. I’ve linked the full report in the comments. It includes companies that are doing big things in other areas of sustainability, like renewable energy, low carbon heat and bio-based building materials.

Interesting read on combining technology with nature for a more sustainable future.

Only a holistic approach will lead to a maximum contribution to sustainability!

Energy companies have a unique opportunity to become stewards of nature and the environment, because of their close ties to nature and decades of experience addressing nature-related issues. In a recent article, my colleagues Danielle Vitoff, Aditya Ranade and I explored how nature can become an asset for energy companies towards climate mitigation, adaptation, and resilience. Feel free to give it a quick read and reach out to #guidehouseexperts for any questions!

At Innoventum, we've embraced a sustainable approach by choosing wood over steel for all our products. Here's why this decision resonates with me: Renewable resource: Wood, when responsibly harvested, becomes a sustainable material. In InnoVentum, we prioritize ethical practices to ensure the longevity of this renewable resource by demanding all our wood suppliers comply with the FSC initiative. Lower carbon footprint: Opting for wood results in products with a reduced carbon footprint compared to steel or concrete. Unlike these materials, wood is a natural substance that actively stores carbon during its growth, aligning with our commitment to environmental responsibility. Noise Reduction for Wind Turbines: In our wind turbine products, the wooden structure serves as a sound absorber. This innovative design makes our turbines the quietest on the market in its class, emphasizing our dedication to sustainability, quality and performance. All this contributes to our product line being completely climate positive. Choosing wood isn't just a preference; it's a conscious decision that echoes our commitment to a greener, quieter, and more sustainable future. Learn more about Innoventum at https://innoventum.se/

i am exciting to so my result of NPTEL course of Energy Resources, Environment and Sustainability. this course is introduce me about the energy resources and sustainable uses of our energy resources

This reminds me of the current sustainability strategy of parts of the event industry. "We're carbon neutral! We do the same as we always have, but we paid someone to plant some trees..." Am I the only one who thinks that it's all bullshit? I'm not saying that we're any better as a company. We reuse and repurpose when we can and do our best to source products that don't kill dolphins and kittens, but without using a horse-drawn van and hamster-powered tools we will never be carbon neutral. Should I claim our allotment as carbon offsetting and buy more plants for the office? I could put a little green tree logo on our website then. Sustainability? Sustainabollox. Is it just me? https://lnkd.in/gue6DMZq

In Tarkett Narni Linoleum Plant we are celebrating Sustainability Week, as all Tarkett teams across the globe. We involve all our people, from the plant and from the sales network, as well as young students from local schools. It is a good opportunity to increase awareness on Environment and Circular Economy, in order to have strong and continuous contribution on reducing our Environmental impact. New objectives were set out and the excellent results already achieved were recalled: 100% of industrial water closed loops, more than 1000 photovoltaic panels on our roofs that, together with other systems that produce energy in situ, allow us to have 34% of consumed renewable energy, no more wastes to landfill, more than 500 ton of Lino scraps collected from our customers to give them new life. #Tarkett #SustainabilityWeek #Linoleum #CircularEconomy
