Last week we held a really productive session for our site-based team at BNP Paribas site Cannon Bridge House. Training them in ESG and Health and Safety, educating them on how these two crucial elements of the GreenZone service delivery are mutually reliant and imperative to keeping them safe in the workplace, whilst protecting the environment. Yesterday marked World Safety and Health at work day, focusing on the impact of climate change on occupational safety and health. When GreenZone was created, it was done with the long-term aim to leave a positive legacy on its people, future generations and the planet. It goes without saying that the welfare of people in the workplace and the effect of climate change are intrinsically linked. With people, sustainability and excellence being three of our core values, the health and safety of our colleagues and the standards we adhere to to protect the environment are not only entwined, but are fundamental to our core modus operandi. From inception, our services were delivered using chemical free methods and cleaning solutions. Our early partnership with Delphis Eco | Certified B Corp™️ was crucial in ensuring we provided cleaning services that not only delivered exceptional standards, but protected the welfare of our teams and wider environment through the use of plant based solutions. Introducing BioHygiene alongside Delphis Eco products, enhanced our offering and continued to ensure that our teams were never exposed to the harsh chemicals used traditionally in the cleaning industry. Taking this approach has ensured that whilst employed by GreenZone, our staff have been protected against the serious health risks associated with VOCs. (Volatile Organic Compounds). The huge environmental benefits of delivering our service this way ensures we are actively contributing to waste reduction, pollution prevention, and the conservation of natural resources which in turn ensures GreenZone is helping to protect against climate change in our service delivery. Alongside our ISO9001and 27001 accreditations, our adherence to ISOs 45001 for Occupational Health and Safety and 14001 for Environmental Management Systems, ensure we remain 100% dedicated to integrating workplace safety with environmental responsibility, and creating a better future.

🌿Rail Baltic Estonia Green Office announcement💡 🌿Waste sorting habits vary from person to person. It is interesting to observe the habits of our employees. From this I gain a lot of new knowledge and can guide our people more and more. ♻️Sorting tissue paper is definitely the most confusing matter in our office. WasteLocker recommendation here has been to throw tissue paper into the bio-waste. ♻️Gradually, we are moving in the direction of raising awareness. The important thing is to get the conversations about this topic going, so that we can all improve ourselves in our sorting habits. #greenoffice

Please join Erb CPR Taskforce Director Elizabeth Doty in her conversation with Renee Henze of International Flavors and Fragrances, and Nathan Sell of the American Cleaning Institute, in the next Erb CPR Expert Dialogue: "Trade Association-Member Collaboration for Sustainability Policy: A New Model?" (Wed. 03/27 3:00 PM EDT) Trade associations are key players in helping businesses and industry sectors deliver on ambitious sustainability goals, stakeholder priorities and an ultimate interest in a healthy environment -- including through their public policy advocacy. Yet, member views are diverse. How can trade associations navigate these diverse views without diluting ambition? How could a principled structure for political activities guide sustainability efforts and facilitate collaboration? Elizabeth Doty Tom Lyon Charlene Zietsma Carmen Quinonez https://lnkd.in/gMkTPGVf

Welcome to the latest edition of Green Knowledge – now in a brand-new format! But what isn’t new is our ongoing mission to accompany you on your sustainability journey as a go-to source of inspiration and information. At the beginning of the year, we also launched our new Green Knowledge website, where you can regularly access fascinating articles, features and interviews, as well as the latest news on sustainability in fashion.   With its revised newspaper format, the print issue you are holding in your hands is designed to complement our online presence and will still be published twice a year to keep you in the loop about all things sustainable.But however you choose to access our content, we hope that we’ll be able to support you all year round and also that we can play our part in building a sustainable community that learns from and grows with one another. In the past few years, we have witnessed remarkable progress in the field of sustainability. More and more people around the world are willing to embrace an eco-conscious mindset as a way of life – or at least it seems that way on the surface. But despite the progress made, one key challenge remains: achieving the symbiosis between sustainability and profitability. It is a balancing act between ethical principles and financial constraints, but can the two really coexist in harmony or are they mutually exclusive? A growing number of insolvencies and declining revenues in the sustainability sector, as Alexander Hitzel, Project Manager at leading trade fair organiser Muveo, tells us in an interview, are evidence of the struggles the fashion business is currently grappling with. Nevertheless, we are convinced that greener solutions will prevail in the future.   It’s time to stop seeing sustainability as an optional extra, and instead as a fundamental value that needs to be an integral part of every business model. It’s time to recognise that having a good conscience alone is not enough to solve the urgent environmental problems caused by climate change. It’s time to take the first step and bring everyone on board for a sustainable future. Even though the path ahead may be rocky, at the end of the day all the profits and revenues in the world cannot safeguard our planet for future generations. So let’s work together to make sure that sustainability moves out of its niche and into the mainstream, as well as becoming economically viable in the process. We hope you enjoy reading this latest issue.   Your Green Knowledge team #sustainability #greenknowledge #printissue #outnow #newsoftheday Cover: Feline Sasse

🌍 Today on World Environment Day, I am thrilled to share a fantastic milestone achieved in our Health & Safety department's sustainability journey! 📉 Over the three month’s we have successfully transitioned our H&S department from producing 200,000 pieces of paper annually to a remarkable zero, and simultaneously cut down our travel footprint by approximately 50,000 kilometers per year. How did we do it? 💡 By spearheading the design and implementation of a cutting-edge digital H&S system that offers instant access to essential documents like SDS, RAMS, and company documentation. This innovative approach not only streamlines our operations but also significantly reduces our environmental impact. 🌟 I am proud to announce that this digital transformation has been rolled out to 99% of our sites, marking a significant step towards a more sustainable and eco-friendly workplace environment. #WorldEnvironmentDay #Sustainability #DigitalTransformation #Innovation #GreenFuture 🌿
