Beyond Green at All Energy 2018
Lisa and McKenna attended the All Energyevent in Glasgow and were very excited about the POWERful Women lunch.
We heard about why mentoring is good for everyone (mentees and mentors) and, as suggested by Keith Anderson, ScottishPower CEO, we’ll bring some male colleagues next year too!
She is Sustainable
The BG’s were busy last month, both organising and participating at the She is Sustainable event in Edinburgh on April 20th! BG team member McKenna helped co-organise the event for women starting out in their sustainability careers to share insights and discuss some of the many challenges faced in the workplace. BG managing director Paul sat on the panel to discuss his journey with unconscious bias and the benefits of mentoring. Check out our blog post here for more about the event, or a post about the attendees experience here.
Let’s beat plastic pollution
On the 5th of June, IEMA East Scotland will demonstrate support to the World Environment Day. The steering Group, which McKenna and Lisa are members of, is busy organising the event which will start at 6.30 pm at Sweco’s office. There will be a presentation from IEMA on ways to reduce plastic in our day-to-day life and a talk from Kate Chambers from Vegware. Attendees will then be invited to a networking event in the nearby Akva. Hope to see you there and let’s #PledgeLessPlastic
NPF SDGs issued in June
In our previous newsletter, we highlighted the new connection of the Scottish National Performance Framework (NPF) and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Scottish parliament will sign off on the new report detailing the combination of the two on May 9th. There will be a debate in parliament in the week commencing May 21st to determine which SDGs will be fully incorporated into the NPF. More about the SDGs and the Scottish NPF here.
