A huge THANK YOU to all six guests of the first series of our podcast #SustainabilityInsiders From peat restoration to potato farming, generative AI to financing, and logistics to glass manufacturing – the aim was to provide insight and to inspire you, whatever stage you are at on your #sustainability journey. 📷 Our guests (clockwise - from top left) Carmen Cheng from NatWest Group Simon Lewis from Brabners Natasha Smith Thakur from Ideagen Carbon Accounting Chris Dye from NSG Group | Pilkington United Kingdom Limited Simon Rutledge FCIWM CEnv from Biffa Philip Fjeld from CNG Fuels Listen to all episodes now, and leave a review, wherever you usually pick up your podcasts – here's just a few places where it's available:   Apple Podcasts https://lnkd.in/ewBBT32m Spotify https://lnkd.in/esrYbHZn   All other podcast apps https://lnkd.in/eJvaRmpA #GreenerSociety Supply Chain Sustainability School (UK)

Episode 6 of our podcast #SustainabilityInsiders is out now – and we’re talking all about generative AI and carbon accounting.    Guest Natasha Smith Thakur takes us back to the basics - so, don’t worry if you don’t know your AI from your generative AI 😉. It is neatly (and brilliantly) explained.    Natasha, CEO of Ideagen Carbon Accounting, spotted an opportunity to harness the opportunity of generative AI in simplifying carbon accounting. Just a few years after co-founding the business, it’s now part of the bigger Ideagen family – as generative AI ‘takes the world by storm’.    If you want to learn how to get the most from your data – which, we learn in the podcast, may come in a huge array of forms – to inform your decision-making and future #sustainability direction, have a listen to this episode. It is the last in our first series of the podcast.    🎙️Sustainability Insiders talks to business leaders about how they’re making their companies, or industries, more sustainable. We hope it inspires you, whatever stage you are at on your own sustainability journey.     Apple Podcasts https://lnkd.in/ewBBT32m Spotify https://lnkd.in/esrYbHZn  All other podcast apps https://lnkd.in/eJvaRmpA    #greenersociety #AI #carbonaccounting Supply Chain Sustainability School (UK)

David Garner, Director of Safety at Cadent was happy to take part in the BBC Morning Live’s special investigation into energy theft this morning. David said, “We were happy to help with the special investigation, as energy theft is something we are very concerned about and we want to raise awareness of the dangers of this crime. To view the special investigation, check out this morning’s BBC Morning Live programme - https://ow.ly/L3aN50UsfRw David continues, “The theft of energy is not a victimless crime. It costs us all around £50 a year on our energy bills. “If people are struggling to pay bills they should contact their energy supplier, or Stay Energy Safe or Cadent’s Centre’s for Warmth for more information.” https://ow.ly/Q1xe50UsfRz Pictured - David Garner, Cadent’s Director of Safety with presenter Zara McDermot https://ow.ly/TsYo50UsfRv https://ow.ly/c7gq50UsfRx https://ow.ly/xqIz50UsfRy

It’s good to talk - North London team use Valve Trak trial to start conversations North London’s customer team and multi-occupancy builds (MOBs) team have used the opportunity whilst trialling the installation of Valve Trak units, to also talk to customers in high-rise buildings about our ‘Services beyond the meter’. The North London team are leading the way with the installation of Valve Trak units onto its existing gas valves around high-rise buildings in July this year; with an ambition to install around 1,000 units in phase 1 and engage with as many residents as possible. This technology enables us to easily find our valve locations, and in an emergency quickly turn off the valve to isolate the gas supply to the building. Why combine the two projects? Two areas in the North London network were selected for the Valve Trak trial, Newham and Tower Hamlets. These areas were chosen due to the sheer number of tower blocks and a high level of fuel poverty in the area too. Amber Greensmith, Head of Customer Experience said, “It made sense to combine our work as we would be installing the Valve Trak units around the high-rise buildings, so why not also take the opportunity to engage with the residents of the building? “We find people living in high-rise buildings don’t always get the best customer service but with our services beyond the meter conversations, carbon monoxide education and energy efficiency advice we believe we can make a big difference to them and their lives.” This trial has been funded through the VCMA allowance and so far, has seen, as of December, an impressive social return on investment of £40 for every £1 spent. Amber continues, “We have been delighted by the results. To date, we have spoken with over 2000 residents on the doorstep, an access rate of 36% and posted information through the letterbox of an additional 4000 properties. “I believe the success rate has been so good because we have invested in our people, using two local people who speak several different languages, that has helped break through some of the language and cultural barriers.” Matt Cornwell, Head of MOBs for North London said, “This has been a significant investment of around £1million in this trial. It has enabled us to enhance the safety measures we can put in place for high-rise buildings but also improve the customer experience and safety of those living in high-rise buildings too.” https://ow.ly/KGIC50UqRar

Our latest ‘Energy Diaries: Voices of the Future’ research revealed that 7 in 10 under 30s see heating as a luxury, rather than a basic service. As covered by GB News, fuel poverty is unfortunately becoming the new normal for young people. Our very own Mark Belmega is quoted in the article, explaining how young people are at risk of becoming an “unseen generation when it comes to the issue of fuel poverty in the UK”. You can read more about the report and its findings, including interviews with some of our diarists, here 👇 https://lnkd.in/ekyuWNna

From windows to windscreens, glass is all around us! It has been a cornerstone of UK industry for many years - and will be central to a sustainable, net zero future.     In Episode 5 of #SustainabilityInsiders, Chris Dye from NSG Group (Pilkington Glass) explains the innovations which are transforming its energy-intensive manufacturing processes.     Recent UK trials of using hydrogen in place of natural gas to fuel its furnaces in St Helens was a landmark moment and a great success, he explains.     We learn that major changes can only be made to the furnaces once every 15 to 20 years, so decisions made in the next few years are key to achieving net zero by 2050.     The podcast covers recycling glass (the word you're going to learn here is 'cullet'), solar power technologies, and supporting a very large supply chain.     🎙️Sustainability Insiders is our new podcast, where we talk to business leaders about how they’re making their companies, or industries, more sustainable. We hope it inspires you, whatever stage you are at on your own sustainability journey.     Apple Podcasts https://lnkd.in/ewBBT32m Spotify https://lnkd.in/esrYbHZn   Other podcast apps https://lnkd.in/eJvaRmpA     #sustainability #greenindustry #innovation #netzero #podcast Pilkington United Kingdom Limited Supply Chain Sustainability School (UK)
