Let's Celebrate Earth Month! 🌿 As April dawns upon us, it's time to reflect on our shared commitment to our planet. Embracing Earth Month isn't just about acknowledging the beauty of our planet; it's a call to action, a reminder of our shared responsibility to protect and preserve our environment. 🖊 Since its inception in 1970, Earth Day has led to the passage of several important environmental laws, including the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Endangered Species Act. 🌏 In 1990, Earth Day went global, with events and activities taking place worldwide, marking the beginning of Earth Month, which is now celebrated every April. 📅 The event grew in popularity, and in 2009, the United Nations designated April 22 as International Mother Earth Day. 🔥 In 2016, the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit global temperature rise to below 2°C, was signed on Earth Day. 🗃 And the theme for Earth Day 2024 is "Planet vs. Plastics". As professionals, we hold the power to drive meaningful change in our workplaces and communities. This April, let's commit to making sustainability a priority in all aspects of our lives. 6 things your company can do to celebrate Earth Month- 🌍 Reflect on your individual and collective environmental footprint. 🌎 Understand how global climate regulations will affect your company. 🌏 Make sure your next event is a sustainable one. 🌍 Engage vendors and suppliers about sustainability. 🌎 Share your sustainability journey with your audience. 🌏 Commit to implementing eco-friendly practices in your workplaces. Apple’s “Liam” recycling program, IKEA’s “Buy Back” program, Google’s “Your Plan, Your Planet” campaign are some effective Earth Day campaigns from popular companies. Have you heard of any such campaign? Comment below so that we all can learn together ⬇. Together, we have the power to make a difference. Let's harness that power to create a world where sustainability is not just a buzzword but a way of life. Happy Earth Month, everyone! 🌍💚 #Earthmonth #EarthDayEveryDay #Sustainability #ClimateAction #ReduceReuseRecycle #AriseIIP

Here at Mollie, one of our main goals is to integrate environmentally sustainable practices in all aspects of our operations and culture. To honour this commitment, we are celebrating #EarthDay and #EarthWeek with a series of activities to encourage our Mollies to think about how they can contribute to a more sustainable future. #EarthWeek is a reminder of the importance of environmental conservation and sustainability. We took the opportunity to inspire employees to reflect on their role in promoting sustainability and how we can take action to support our planet! How are we doing this? 👥 Employee Resource Group on Sustainability ✅ Transitioning to Renewable Energy ♻️ Recycling Aluminium Cans 🥘 Sustainable Catering Practice ⚡ Energy-efficient Offices ☕ Sustainable Coffee These initiatives are just the beginning. Watch this space!

You can’t get five minutes into a corporate values presentation these days without hearing about sustainability—it’s been a buzzword for a long time.   But just because something is a buzzword doesn’t mean it’s not important. It just means you have to make sure you’re doing it the right way.   I learned my sustainability p’s and q’s back before the cool kids were doing it, back when I was at Disney, then the Chiefs. And when I started VenueSmart, we made it one of our points of focus.   Right from the jump, it allowed us to offer a service that our competitors couldn’t. It wasn’t just the right thing to do—it was good business.   But why was it good business?   Because it was the right thing to do.   Making sustainability a priority helped us form strong connections with the kinds of clients we wanted to work with. And because they could see we were like-minded, they wanted to work with us, too.   There’s a lot of green-washing out there. You’ll see a lot of companies talking about sustainability because it’s what people expect. But we want to walk the walk. And we want to work with clients who do the same.   That’s who we’ve tried to be from day one. And we’ve done a lot of good things. But I know there will always be more we could be doing.   That’s why we brought on Skye Fabrizio   Skye is a sustainability expert, and she’s constantly staying connected to changes in sustainability technology. Because of her, we can meet our clients where they are, grow with them, even introduce them to new tools that will help them reach their sustainability goals.   Having someone like Skye shows our clients that we mean what we say. It sets us apart from our competitors. And it makes us better, too.   More than anything, though, I believe the work Skye is leading at VenueSmart is helping us make a real difference in our world.   If you’ve spent any time around me, you probably know where I stand on things like global warming (it’s real) and taking care of our environment (it’s important). I don’t have kids, but I do have a big family, and I want to keep our planet in good shape for them as much as I can.   We’re just one company with one client set.   Our team drags our two bins down to the end of the street just like everybody else. And like I said, we’re not perfect.   But we’re working on it. We’re doing everything we can to walk the walk and build a company oriented toward a sustainable earth that will be around for future generations to enjoy.   Business and bottom lines matter. But they’re not everything. At VenueSmart, we’re going to keep doing everything we can to prioritize what matters—working with our clients to take care of our planet. #rocktheocean #tortugamusicfestival

The Lindström Sustainability Report 2023 is here, time to celebrate! 🎉 The report was actually ready already last week, so, you might be wondering why it's taken me a hot minute to shout from the rooftops about the great work we've done.

But hey, when you're on a mission to tell the tale of our 175th anniversary year, you've gotta fuel those creative juices somehow, am I right? 💪 So, if you're ready to be wowed and inspired, head on over to our website to check it out.

🌍💚 Embracing Sustainability Every Day: A Reflection on Earth Day 💚🌍 As Earth Day approaches on April 22nd, I'm reminded of how fortunate I am to work for a company that not only values sustainability but actively encourages and supports it. At BrightView, our commitment to environmental stewardship is not just a part of our ethos; it's a way of life. In my own journey towards a more sustainable lifestyle, I've found inspiration from the values instilled by my workplace. Together with my family, we've made conscious choices to reduce our ecological footprint. From simple yet impactful changes like cutting down on water and electricity usage to embracing reusable water bottles, every decision we make is a step towards a greener future. We've also embraced a more minimalist approach to consumption and clothing choices, opting for quality over quantity. This not only reduces waste but also encourages a more mindful and intentional way of living. And of course, spending time outdoors has become a cherished part of our routine, not only for recreation but also as a way to connect with and appreciate the natural world around us. As we celebrate Earth Day this year, I'm proud to be part of a company that empowers its employees to make a difference, both in the workplace and beyond. Let's continue to inspire each other to embrace sustainability not just on April 22nd, but every day of the year. Together, we can create a brighter, greener future for generations to come. 🌿🌎 #brightview #thebestteams #EarthDay #Sustainability #GreenLiving #CompanyPride 🌍💚
