Every year, thousands of representatives from business, government, academia and NGOs from all over the world meet to discuss climate change at COP (Conference of Parties).

Many companies are working on their sustainability strategies with renewed purpose. They are driving innovation and moving forward in becoming carbon neutral, delivering their sustainability goals, investing in impact funds or participating in the circular economy. However, to be successful businesses must communicate this effectively and simply to their consumers. More than ever consumers are […]
The mental health of employees is a core piece to a company’s sustainability.

Companies across the globe are evidencing employees leaving their jobs in search of more purpose, inspiration, alignment and authenticity. Employees are increasingly committed […]
The sharing economy has been part of our everyday lives for over a decade and it shows no signs of slowing down.

Thanks to technology, the internet and […]

Join us for these Informal Drinks after work on March 17th to discuss how we can shift to carbon-free energy! Electrification is critical to decarbonise various sectors.

New questions arise: What should/ will happen […]
