Part of our purpose as a law firm and as a B Corp is being transparent about the impact that we try to have on our people, our clients and the environment This is our latest report ,which details the efforts we have made and the positive impact that we can make. Please do give it a read, as it takes an awful lot of effort to put together but it is a report to which everyone in the firm contributes and for which they can be quite rightly very proud. #Bcorp;#impact

An interesting article by World Economic Forum --https://lnkd.in/ekQaj6tc Philanthropy can be a driving force for climate action. By aligning investments with real-world emissions reductions, smaller organizations can amplify their impact beyond grant-making. Together, foundations can harness collective strength, mobilizing network capital for equitable climate solutions. Supporting climate justice alongside DEI goals is challenging but achievable—and often financially rewarding. By sharing learnings and increasing transparency, the philanthropic community can drive systemic change and set a new standard for climate-focused finance. #CommunitiesForNature #ClimateAction #Philanthropy #SustainableInvesting #Impact #JustTransition #Equity

Climate is not another issue but now context to all issues. Project Dandelion celebrates women taking bold action to lead in climate philanthropy investing in people and planet.

"Traditional strategic philanthropy will continue to be important, but bold climate action deserves bold philanthropy." Today is #WorldEnvironmentDay - which serves as an important reminder that the effects of #climatechange continue to disproportionately impact women and girls across the planet.

Continuing the Sustainability Conversation, let's jump into our next two groups: Media, and Local Communities. Media: As the storytellers and communication leaders of the climate transition, the media plays a pivotal role in shaping public perception and driving awareness. In today's rapidly changing landscape, where traditional outlets are giving way to non-traditional platforms, the importance of this community cannot be overstated. How can you or your business create leverage? Establish your unique voice across various media channels, from social media to mass-media, to amplify your message and educate others about the urgency of climate action.  #MediaInfluence #ClimateCommunication #Education Local Communities: At the heart of climate solutions lie our local communities, comprising integral members such as educational institutions, local planning groups, charities, small businesses, and more. To succeed in addressing climate challenges this stakeholder group must be able to influence local culture. How can you or your business create leverage? Actively engage with and support local initiatives, and promote sustainable development and foster resilience within our communities. #LocalCommunities #SustainableDevelopment #CommunityEngagement

Funding can be really, really hard for impact-driven organizations in the climate space.

Our refreshed strategy for 2024 is now live ✨ Last year we created a 3-year strategy (2023-2026) with the plan to reflect and update on the strategy each year. We've taken some time to reflect on the new context in 2024, such as upcoming elections and economic concerns, and feedback from our members. We also thought about which activities we should continue, develop or start and how to make these activities more useful to all of you. Our work spans across these work pillars and you can read on to see how we’ve updated our plans for each one: 1️⃣ Expanding environmental philanthropy 2️⃣ Improving the effectiveness of environmental funding 3️⃣ Supporting those that do environmental work to be more effective https://buff.ly/3VTGkRT #strategy #planning #philanthropy #funding
