Welcoming Rebecca and Evelin to the team
Our small team has grown with two new trainee sustainability advisors joining us this year!
Welcome Rebecca
Rebecca has an extensive background in legal research and a comprehensive understanding of both national and international legal frameworks relating to the energy sector. She brings specialist knowledge of legislation, policy, regulations, and procedures to Beyond Green and has a passion for issues of environmental ethics, sustainability, and energy security. Her professional background has given her experience in project management, client communication, teaching, quality assurance, marketing, and networking.
With a background in teaching, training, and creating online art courses, Rebecca possesses transferable skills applicable to delivering sustainability workshops and advising on energy efficiency measures. Her experience includes delivering live lessons, grading, and providing feedback, supported by a TESOL certification. Rebecca joined Beyond Green in December ‘23 and is already assisting in the production and delivery of Net Zero projects, ESOS compliance reports, and has been working with various SMEs, providing advice and recommendations on energy efficiency measures.
Welcome Evelin
Evelin brings extensive experience in accounting analysis. She has leveraged her numerical skills in Beyond Green and is quickly catching up on activities like calculating efficiency measures. Evelin also brings more recent studies around SDGs and SBTi to achieve Net Zero. She has a keen interest in incorporating her skills and learning how to support businesses to reduce their carbon emissions by making more sustainable decisions.
She joined Beyond Green in January 2024 and has been assisting with calculations from energy consumption to reduction of energy loss with different measures. She has also supported the creation and delivery of Net Zero projects with clients, and is currently contributing on evaluation and improvement of data gathering processes for carbon reporting.
Awards news
It’s been an exciting year so far for Beyond Green, with positive outcomes from 3 awards.
Celebrating Small Business Awards – Winner
We are delighted to announce we’re the winner for the Diversity and Inclusion category in the Celebrating Small Business Awards for the Scotland region!
We’re incredibly proud of the work we’ve invested in becoming a more inclusive and accessible employer, through our B Corp membership, our Disability Confident Leader status and our successful move to a 4 Day Working Week. To have our commitment be recognized feels like a milestone in our continuous journey of being a business that has a positive impact on the world and helps other businesses to do the same.
Congratulations to all the regional winners! You can read more about the awards and the Scotland region winners here.
MELCC – Winner
We’re very proud to have won the ‘Micro Business of the Year’ award at the Midlothian and East Lothian Business Awards 2024!
It’s the culmination of a year of pushing ourselves to go beyond, to find new ways of doing business that support our values and our work – we may be micro but our team’s impact to reduce emissions is anything but small; we have expanded to support multifunctional teams at larger businesses and leading Scottish organisations. Throughout 2024, we will continue to innovate to create value and help more organisations progress to Net Zero and make a meaningful contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals.Find our more about the other winners here.

We’re excited to announce we’re a finalist in the Small Awards in the Net Hero category for best sustainability-focused business that recognises a small business with an exceptional commitment to environmental sustainability. Winners will be announced in May, so wish us good luck!
International Women’s Day 2024
In celebrating International Women’s Day, we’ve taken the time to acknowledge and reaffirm our commitment to building a world where women have equal opportunities to thrive. We have tackled many interesting and difficult conversations about the everyday challenges faced by women, and the social norms which enable these issues to persist. Our conversations have highlighted the importance of maintaining a space to discuss these barriers, to learn from one another, and raise awareness of the intersectionality within women’s experiences, so we can become better allies and recognise the assumptions we make about what we are capable of.
