During the excitement and excess of the festive season, it’s easy to forget about the planet. Fortunately, a lot of our seasonal traditions are actually also great for the environment. So, let’s take a moment to celebrate those things we’re doing right! https://lnkd.in/e--n5kAR

As the Christmas buying season gets into full swing, the plethora of choice in food, presents and holiday options can often feel a little overwhelming.

Join us for a 30-min webinar where we'll be discussing the key takeaways from #COP29 and their implications for businesses and the broader climate landscape. The key priorities at COP29 were cash, cutting and coping: - Come up with an agreed plan on finance – who pays, how much, and to whom to resolve the challenges we face. Always a thorny issue! - Cutting emissions, and - How we learn to cope with more flooding, heatwaves and extreme weather. Join us to hear what happened in these three key areas, plus some good news out of COP, that didn’t hit the headlines. Thursday 12th December  At 1pm (GMT) Register here 👇 https://lnkd.in/edfES--i

As Christmas approaches, the festive season brings with it a familiar question: Should we go with a real Christmas tree or an artificial one this year? https://lnkd.in/e-uP9KrM

While the task of reducing our environmental impact can feel daunting, the good news is that making small, incremental sustainable switches can go a long way. The reality is, no single switch or action is going to single-handedly save the planet. However, when we all do our part and embrace a series of simple, everyday switches, those collective efforts can make a real difference. Here is a variety of sustainable switches you can implement across different aspects of your daily life – from your bathroom routine to your finances. Every switch you make, no matter how seemingly insignificant, contributes to a healthier planet for all. https://lnkd.in/ewh-jXQP

At Giki, we're proud to support the #ClimateProofingSMEs campaign, led by the High-Level Climate Champions launched this weekend at #COP29, to amplify the critical role of SMEs in: • Driving sustainable innovation • Reducing carbon emissions • Creating resilient, future-ready businesses Small businesses aren't just economic players – they can be climate champions too. Did you know SMEs represent 90% of all businesses and thread through major supply chains across the globe. At Giki we work with many amazing #SMEs who are prioritising sustainability and carbon reduction in their strategy. Our transition to a sustainable economy isn't just about big corporations - it's about empowering the backbone of our economic ecosystem. SMEs drive innovation, create jobs, and can lead transformative change towards net zero Together, we can build an economy that's not just green, but equitable and inclusive. #NetZero #ClimateAction #SMEs #Sustainability
