That's awesome, Ravi! Starting the day with a beach cleanup is a great way to take direct action for the environment. 🌍 Glass bottles, often mistaken for mere waste, are actually a valuable resource in the circular economy. ♻️ Recycling glass helps reduce landfill waste, conserves raw materials like sand, and significantly lowers CO2 emissions during manufacturing. According to the Glass Packaging Institute and environmental agencies, recycling one ton (2,000 pounds) of glass can save approximately: ♻ 1,330 pounds of sand ♻ 433 pounds of soda ash ♻ 433 pounds of limestone ♻ 151 pounds of feldspar This totals to about 2,347 pounds of natural resources conserved for every ton of glass recycled. Additionally, using recycled glass (cullet) in the manufacturing process reduces energy consumption significantly. For every 10% increase in cullet usage, energy costs can decrease by 2-3%. This not only conserves resources but also lowers greenhouse gas emissions associated with glass production. Ravi, your efforts not only help protect marine life but also promote a more sustainable future. 💚 Keep up the good work, and let’s continue spreading awareness! 🌊 #CircularEconomy #Sustainability

The theme for our Sustainability Week this June was "Get out into nature", and we ran a competition for our employees to share photos of nature local to them, at our sites around the world. The photos below are just a small selection of the amazing photos taken during the month, and show the diversity of nature across our sites worldwide. Once the competition closes at the end of the month, our employees will vote for their favourites, with prizes for the top three photos. At Essentra, we recognise it's important to protect the local habitats our company operates in. To reduce our impact as a business on nature, we have a target to be zero waste to landfill across our operations, and to reduce our waste intensity by 50%, by 2030. In 2023, 94% of solid waste was diverted from landfill across our operations, an increase of 18% compared to 2022, and our waste intensity has reduced by 28% against our 2019 baseline. We also encourage our employees to use the volunteer day they get each year to protect local habitats, and our employees have taken part in a wide range of activities from coral reef planting in Thailand, to forest restoration in Spain.

Supporting sustainability through tree planting is a meaningful initiative that aligns with our efforts to promote a greener future. Through the “Greening the MOC” with One for Trees and Powerplants programs, we are committed to enhancing environmental resilience by partnering with Celeasco in this impactful endeavor. This initiative is more than just planting trees—it's about fostering sustainable practices, improving biodiversity, and restoring ecosystems. By working hand-in-hand with Celeasco, we aim to plant thousands of trees in MOC, contributing to carbon offset and creating a greener landscape for future generations. This partnership also focuses on educating everyone about the importance of environmental stewardship and sustainability. Through this shared commitment, we are not only mitigating the effects of climate change but also empowering local communities to take part in the fight for environmental preservation. Together with Celeasco, we are proud to take this step towards a more sustainable future, where every tree planted is a seed of hope for a greener and more sustainable tomorrow.

There is no Planet B 🌍 I'm thrilled to share our commitment to sustainability at Andreotti Furniture. Over the next three years, we're dedicated to achieving carbon negativity through daily actions performed by our incredible teams within our warehouse management system and delivery operations. ♻️ Our ethos revolves around a zero-waste approach. Every item we deliver is meticulously collected and recycled through our licensed recycling program. Nothing goes to waste, ensuring that we minimize our environmental footprint with every transaction. 🚙 Embracing the future of transportation, we're transitioning away from gasoline-powered vehicles and making substantial investments in electric technologies and electric cars. This shift not only reduces emissions but also aligns with our mission to embrace renewable energy sources. ☣️ At Andreotti, we prioritize responsible disposal practices. We never discard chemicals or synthetic wastes, opting instead for safe and sustainable disposal methods that protect both our planet and communities. But our journey doesn't stop here. We're only scratching the surface of our sustainability efforts. In addition to our operational initiatives, we're integrating cutting-edge technologies like web3 and carbon-negative solutions such as Algorand Technologies into our business model. By leveraging these innovations, we're not only reducing our carbon footprint but also paving the way for a more sustainable future. Join us on this exciting journey towards carbon negativity and sustainable business practices. Together, we can make a meaningful difference for our planet and future generations.

A very exciting use- or recycling (upcycling ? ) of disposed fishing nets litter. One of the main sources of marine plastic pollution. This should be replicated in scale..

One way for an HOA board to pursue efficiency is to look to green initiatives. Sometimes referred to as “going green”, green initiatives involve adopting environmentally friendly policies. If you’re involved with an HOA in your community and would like to explore eco-friendly initiatives, here are some simple ways for HOAs to go green. https://lnkd.in/g8GEQg-E

Diving into sustainability 🌊 In line with this year’s B Corp Month theme, we’re always ‘moving forward’ in terms of trying to reduce our water use. One of the ways we do this is the Reverse Osmosis (RO) plant we have at our Tweed Valley Maltings, which gives us the ability to treat used process water - that would ordinarily be discharged - and reuse it. This reduces the demand on the area’s water resources and boreholes we abstract from, whilst also reducing the wastewater we discharge. Explore more about how we are ‘moving forward’ 👉 https://buff.ly/3CbNvKd

For more than a decade, our focus primarily rested on fostering awareness and garnering support for our mission to "protect the planet", however as we move forward, it's evident that active, tangible steps are required, not only at an individual level but also from "Corporates". A recent visit to a shoreline location I frequented seven years ago brought stark evidence of the escalating environmental crisis. The disappearance of a familiar restaurant, engulfed by encroaching waters due to rising sea levels and global ice melting, serves as a clear reminder of the urgent need for actions. To effect meaningful change, it's imperative that companies encourage their employees to engage in awareness activities regularly (not only during the week of Environment Day or Ocean Day), potentially on a monthly basis or even more frequently. By integrating environmental consciousness into our organizational DNA, we can foster a culture of sustainability and drive meaningful progress towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Do we do enough? Some of us may and some of us may not. Let us not restrict our effort only for awareness or actions for a day (which has been the case at times). The ask now is all of us need to stay invested in this topic at all levels, in the "Board Rooms", in the "floor", in the "eco system" & as individuals. (Let us all work hard to extend all actions across Scope 1, 2 & 3 in a practical manner from corporates standpoint). Furthermore, policy makers must explore incentives/policies/mandates to recognize all such initiatives aimed at mitigating environmental impacts. By earmarking resources for projects dedicated to environmental conservation, we not only fulfil our corporate responsibility but also contribute tangibly to the preservation of our planet in an active manner. In essence, the transition from awareness-raising to concrete action is a paramount, action not for a day in a year, but every day, every hour, every minute & every second. By championing sustainable practices and instilling a commitment to environmental stewardship within our organizations, we can collectively work towards a healthier, more sustainable future for generations to come. Let us do our part as individuals, organizations to handover a better world to the next gen. I would also like to thank individuals, communities & corporates who has taken active involvement in this journey every day to make an impact. @ Freight Systems we are 100% paper free in handling our esteemed customers shipments for more than a decade. Now our latest addition @ Jatauli an 500K sq ft warehouse complex, powered by solar energy & many more initiatives to support the environment every day. #Initiatives #Practice #ActiveInvolvement #Corporates #Sustainability #Mitigation #Vested #SaveTheWorld #GHG #PowerofCorporates #Alternatives #Mandate #FreightSystems #EnvironmentFirst
