At Circuit, a part of the JLA Group, we are deeply committed to our customers, people, the environment, and communities. Here are a few examples of how we have demonstrated our commitment already:    Caring for our customers:  Helped our customers reduce their environmental impact by facilitating an 8 million kWh reduction in energy consumption. Caring for our people:  Launched a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policy and appointed 10 DEI partners to promote this important topic. Caring for the environment:  Improved our operational efficiency, 24% reduction in average distance travelled to customer sites. Caring for communities:  Enhanced our approach to community support, which is expected to increase in 2024.

Connecting Communities, Strengthening Lives: The Power of #PeopleCentered Mobility Please join me for a new conversation we are having about people-centered transportation, prioritizing the #wellbeing and #qualityoflife life for individuals and communities. It's taking place in a few weeks as part of ITE - A Community of Transportation Professionals' virtual spring conference - The Journey to Safer Communities, March 19 and 20th. https://lnkd.in/gPqXftuk Along with Kelly Rodgers, PhD and Meghan Mitman, AICP, RSP2I, the Chair of #ITE's #TransportationPlanning Council, Dan Hennessey, will be moderating our conversation: "This session will introduce the concept in more detail, describe how people-centered transportation differs from the traditional approach, the fundamental principles of people-centered transportation, and examples of what this looks like on the ground. Where possible, examples will introduce #systemsthinking into future mobility and infrastructure planning that can help transform our street networks to yield more people-centered outcomes. The presentation will conclude with how the people-centered initiative is organized within ITE, activities we are undertaking, and how you can get involved." We are at the start of something new and exciting in our #transportation domain, will you be able to join us?

"Equity in transportation isn't just a nicety, it's a necessity! 🚗💼 When we prioritize equity in transportation decision making, we ensure that all communities have access to opportunities and resources. Let's work together to support a transportation system that is fair, inclusive, and equitable for all. 💪🏽 #TransportationEquity #EquitableDecisionMaking"

This morning at #MOVEAmerica2024, there was an engaging session on Investing in All Layers of the Mobility Revolution. Moderated by Bob Bennett, Chair at Cities Today, the panel brought together key voices from both the public and private sectors. Emily Yates from Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA), Thomas Bartholomew from the Department of Energy & Environment, Baris Guzel from BMW Group I Ventures, and Morteza F. Farajian from the Build America Bureau at the U.S. Department of Transportation shared their insights on the critical role investment plays in advancing mobility technologies and infrastructure. From public-private partnerships to sustainable innovation, the discussion highlighted how various layers of investment are needed to drive the next wave of mobility solutions across the country. #MOVEAmerica #MobilityRevolution #Investment #PublicPrivatePartnerships #FutureOfTransportation #AutoMobilityAdvisors

Birmingham played a huge part in the industrial and music revolution as the city of a thousand trades, so where better for Recognition-circular.org to get things moving in the right circles, starting with tackling digital exclusion and eWaste, The recent BBC show this Town showed Britain's second city as the birthplace to two-tone, but you can add Noddy, rock and New Romantic synth to that. Now except for the knocking of the council Birmingham is scandalously excluded by the media. Yet unlike the London and Manchester bubbles, Brum is the authentic city, a melting pot of industrial and cultural diversity with great heritage, a deep pool of talent and oh so much potential. Contrary to popular belief Brum isn't permanently broken, we just need to help each other out a little, think circular economy not linear, and give people the skills and the tools to be able to stake their claim within our community. It's a win-win for the community and the environment. Together we can create positive circles of opportunity in a city big enough to sustain it's own orbit!

🛵New Dataset on the #TUMIDataHub: Research on motorised three-wheelers in Caribbean urban areas highlights their potential to contribute to a just and equitable mobility landscape. These vehicles offer an accessible and flexible transport option, particularly beneficial in areas underserved by traditional public transit. This study underlines the importance of inclusive transport planning to ensure all community members have reliable access to mobility solutions.#MobilityJustice #InclusiveCities CAF -banco de desarrollo de América Latina y el Caribe-. 🌍📝 Discover more at https://bit.ly/3WatOgY and https://bit.ly/3JxvoCo

Introducing this year's Future Transport Visions Group research themes: 🌱 Decarbonisation and Sustainable Transport 🤝 Engagement and Behaviour Change 💻 Modelling and Appraisal Processes 💡 Future Transport Modes and Technologies 🚦 Intelligent Transport Systems ❓ Emerging Trends (Other) We wanted to give this year's initiative some more structure and provide people with some broad themes to pitch ideas for. The themes are linked to expertise within our committee and broad transport topics affecting the industry; but also include a "wildcard" category for those that don't quite fit any theme. We will group all entries into these themes as part of organising our collaboration workshops which will be the forum for turning individual ideas into group projects. Are these jolting any ideas?

Easy peasy 🍋 squeaky. My network may be woefully light on #youngprofessionals but 🤞 you can help spread the word about this outstanding career development opportunity I keep highlighting. How easy? 100 word proposal. That easy! PLUS Two interesting options to get involved. Joint projects and 'go solo' > if you don’t have a proposal but would be interested in taking part in a group activity aligned to your sector. #cpd #justdoit

It’s been a great start to the year with so many new faces, organisations, decarbonisation projects and sustainable ventures taking place here at the British Film Institute (BFI) It was a great pleasure to participate in last weeks Lambeth NetZero Innovation Challenge where I got to meet new upcoming businesses within sustainable #tech innovation and engage with like minded organisations such as Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust to discuss common challenges and obstacles in our buildings. Our commitment to #netzero has never been greater and we are working ferociously to develop and execute our own pathway to netzero in accordance with #GGC and #esg targets through means of these great collaborations; looking at #smartbuildings, close control of special storage collections, improving space utilisation through demand based HVAC, all throughout our multi faceted #buildings. Thanks to Alice Henderson, Sophie-Claire Turner and team for organising this event and shout out to everyone who could could attend. I also wanted to special mention Trend Control Systems and CBRE Global Workplace Solutions (GWS) who we are working closely with to constantly identify energy improvement opportunities for the #decarbonisation of our estates. As an #NDPB and the Lead body for #film and #television in the UK, we have an obligation to work alongside the Department for Culture, Media and Sport for #carbon reporting and target setting on scopes 1,2 and 3. We are pioneering the way through a new and #sustainable screen culture into the future and it is always great to get our brilliant minds together in events such as these to understand where we can work together to make a real difference. #partnership #innovationchallenge #netzerofuture #climatetech #energymanagement Sustainable Ventures
