Launching Net Zero Trailfinder
Starting in the New Year, we’ll be offering a new Net Zero service package for getting organisations started on their Net Zero journey.
For more information, have a look at our updated Net Zero page and our new Net Zero Services Overview brochure. We also have a text only version of the Net Zero Services Overview here.
Webinar – “Embarking On Your Net Zero Strategy”
We ran a webinar for Midlothian and East Lothian Chamber of Commerce on embarking on your Net Zero Strategy. Our goal for this webinar was to help make the journey to Net Zero feel achievable rather than overwhelming. From our survey results (see below) and the feedback we received, we’ve been successful!
We’ll be taking this format forward to help our clients and our wider networks engage with their supply chain via free taster sessions designed to help businesses feel more confident that they’re up to the challenge of planning for Net Zero. If you think you (or someone in your network) would benefit from this, please feel free to reach out!
COP30 – Where do we go from here…?
The COP30 in Brazil last month was framed as Ambition and Action, instead it was Power and Politics, and against the background of growing global disunity and breakdown of consensus around climate change and the actions required.
30 years ago, the COP process was a response to the Environmental Emergency, which evolved into the Humanitarian Emergency, as an overstretched planet will diminish the livelihoods of 99% of citizens, especially those most vulnerable.
Now, with the latest global warming trending towards 1.5°C and recent impacts of extreme heat, flooding, and drought are affecting the economic systems that support our daily lives; where do businesses go from here?

“From LGBTQ+ Confusion to Inclusion”
As part of our accessibility and inclusion programme, we’re always looking to expand our understanding of how we can make the workplace a more inclusive and supportive space for everyone. This year, we’ve completed an online training course by Proud Futures focused on increasing our knowledge and awareness of the LGBTQ+ community.
We’ve got a blog post in the works on some of the points we’ve found most striking as a team and some of our reflections on the experience, but in the meantime, we want to flag this course up to you! It’s an excellent course informed by lived experience that can be completed at your own pace and puts a strong emphasis on creating a supportive space to learn and reflect.
You can find out more about LGBTQ+ course here.
