Since our last newsletter, NEECCo have enjoyed our own in-person event. The NEECCo Business Briefing was hosted by our first corporate partner, Natwest and it was wonderful to see so many people come along to talk about sustainability in business. Huge thanks to Mandy from Sail Creative for her insightful discussion on B-Corps and how being more mindful of the business decisions we make can have a huge impact. If you’d like to know more about B-Corps and sustainability in business, you can join Mandy and likeminded businesses at their B-Corp social on Monday 26th May at Revolución de Cuba from 2.30pm to 5pm. Thank you to Natwest for hosting the event and telling us about their plans for a greener future in banking. You can learn more by accessing the NatWest Climate Change Hub. Our chair, Sir Paul Ennals attended the ANNE Spring Conference 2022 along with members of our Indicators Group, to hear participants from the five North East universities present their data analysis projects - more news on that to follow soon. The team at NEECCo have also been working with our host organisation, VONNE to clean up and green our environment. We joined staff from other organisations outside our office building for a litter pick and planted wild flower seeds to encourage biodiversity. Small steps are a great start in taking climate action. |
