So enjoyable to attend OakNorth breakfast meeting hosted by Matt Bullivant, their Director of Sustainability and ESG Strategy at their gorgeous Soho office this morning and listen to seven companies making a difference in the built environment : SaveMoneyCutCarbon, Sintali, Social Decarb, Construction Carbon, Planet Mark, Material Index and Firstplanit. And great to learn more about OakNorth - a bank, "founded by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs". The vibe inside their stunning offices was dynamic and focused on helping SMEs and others scale up and realize their ambitions - it was so refreshing to see that ethos in a financial institution and totally uplifting 🙏

We just wrapped up a thought-provoking green-dating event at our Soho office, where SME housebuilders, property developers, and investors heard from seven trailblazing companies: SaveMoneyCutCarbon, Sintali, Social Decarb, Construction Carbon, Planet Mark, Material Index and Firstplanit. Hosted by Matt Bullivant, our Director of Sustainability and ESG Strategy, it was an exclusive opportunity for attendees to connect with peers and learn directly from businesses that are leading the way in net zero strategies, energy-efficient building practices, and regulatory compliance. By bringing together industry experts and fostering open dialogue, we are committed to driving positive change and supporting our customers and partners in their sustainability journeys. Thanks to everyone who joined us this morning 🌳 🌎

Can the #LabourGovernment, with its significant #parliamentary majority, keep the #UK at the forefront of combating the #climatecrisis? The #LabourParty's ambitious plans include: 1) Ensuring #zerocarbon #electricity by 2030 2) Upgrading British #housing to address #fuelpoverty while improving #sustainability 3) Building 1.5 million "high-quality, well-designed and #sustainable homes” 4) Reforming EU-era #NutrientNeutrality rules to "unlock the building of much-needed homes" In our latest blog, we discuss what the #KeirStarmer government needs to do to achieve these laudable goals. We also urge them to consider: * Balancing #energyefficiency and #resourceefficiency * Increasing #localprocurement of building #materials * Prioritising #breathability alongside energy efficiency * #Futureproofing against #climate risks Read more here
Can the Labour Government follow speech with urgent climate action?

'How To Talk About Your Eco-Efforts With Confidence!' - that's the theme for the first annual Making Design Circular conference on the 5th of September. I love the premise of this; it's all about 'making imperfect progress towards genuine environmental sustainability'. 🙌 Progress over perfection! And, I'm very honoured to join the 'Greenwashing panel' alongside Kyle Soo from B Lab, Ankita Dwivedi from Firstplanit and Anna Jewitt from the Competition and Markets Authority. The day is packed with an incredible lineup of design, legal and communications experts. Design futures & sustainability expert Caroline Till from FranklinTill, business coach Jo Casey, storyteller Lauren Marie Fleming and Elle Bower-Johnston from Breathwork. It's a 1-day virtual conference on Thursday 05 September 2024, 10 am–5 pm BST. Tickets are a bargain £7 (excl VAT).

"As more product manufacturers and specifiers explore circularity; repurposing and reusing products and materials, the aesthetics of spaces will naturally evolve. Ankita Dwivedi, CEO of #Firstplanit, believes that businesses in the sector have a real responsibility here in actively promoting the character and beauty of second-hand, upcycled, recycled and reclaimed materials – and the opportunity they offer to create unique spaces." See the article linked in Hattrick | B Corp™ certified's update for more!
Are we recycling enough…? 🤔💭 Construction, demolition, and excavation are responsible for 60% of the UK’s material use and waste generation. Despite these staggering numbers, the average recycling rate in the industry remains critically low at just 3-10%.
