🐺 See, sometimes my hair is less wild! But the wild woman within remains. I feel such a deep connection with nature, with people worldwide, and I have a responsibility to tread lightly on this beautiful earth.
💚 The B Corp process perfectly combines who I am as a person with my love of business.
🤔 My questioning, searching brain that loves to delve into the deep stuff and to ask "what if?", "how about..." and "have you tried?"
🤗 So you can imagine how utterly thrilled I am to be a part of the Includability - The Home of Inclusive Organisations team, to be their B Corp ambassador and sustainability parter. I am so looking forward to this webinar, to learn from others and also for the chance to share some of my B Corp knowledge with the ever growing Includability network.

🌱 Maximizing Sustainability Impact & Cost Efficiency 🌍
In today's evolving landscape, organizations are increasingly prioritizing sustainability to drive impact while optimizing costs. Here's a structured approach to achieving this:
1️⃣ Sectorial Insight (NACE Level 2): Understanding industry trends and specific sustainability challenges is crucial. By identifying sector-specific risks early on, organizations can proactively mitigate them and enhance sustainability performance. This ongoing analysis informs strategic decisions.
2️⃣ Business Model Analysis (NACE Level 2 - 3 ): Analyze how operations and offerings contribute to sustainability across environmental, social, and economic dimensions. This helps capitalize on strengths and address weaknesses for improved sustainability performance.
3️⃣ Value Chain Granularity (NACE Level 3): Dive deep into the value chain to identify areas for sustainability improvements. By pinpointing material issues at different operational stages, organizations can reduce resource consumption, minimize waste, improve labor practices, and enhance supply chain transparency.
4️⃣ Double Materiality Assessment: Assessing economic, environmental, and social impacts is key. This involves evaluating both financial and sustainability materiality to prioritize efforts effectively. The insights gained inform focused sustainability strategies and risk management.
By integrating these steps into sustainability strategies, organizations can maximize their impact while ensuring cost efficiency, paving the way for a more sustainable future.

Another fantastic read about Sustainability in the events sector by StandOut Magazine (Stand Out Live Events Magazine)
The one phrase that stuck out to me was "Small measures but big impact." It resonated deeply with me as we often think that to make a difference, we need to make grand, sweeping changes. However, the reality is that it's the small, incremental steps that truly add up to create significant change.
Whether it's reducing single-use plastics, opting for eco-friendly materials, or implementing energy-saving practices, each small measure contributes to a larger, positive impact.
At Green Events Company we are constantly introducing a multitude of small changes when and where possible. We know there is still much work to be done but taking a proactive approach to the matter is extremely important to us and is a key factor in the strategic development of the company. It might take a little bit of 'thinking outside of the box' but we like a challenge!
To all professionals in the events sector, let's embrace this philosophy. Let's explore innovative ways to integrate sustainability into every aspect of event planning and execution.
Remember: it's not about finding the one big change; it's about recognising the power of small actions to make a big difference. 🌟

Choosing the Right Track on Your B Corp Journey 🛤️
Last week at our first Edinburgh B Corp 500 workshop, we tackled the important task of setting up on the B Impact Assessment (BIA) and picking the right track. Let's look at why this matters! 💡
Why is choosing the right track important? 🤔
The track you select shapes the questions you'll answer, making sure they fit your company's profile.
The BIA has different versions (or 'tracks') based on:
Your company size 🏢
Your industry sector 🛠️
Your geographic market 🌍
Getting these details right is important because it affects:
- How relevant the questions are to you
- The way your impact is measured
- How your score compares to similar businesses
Remember, accuracy is your friend here! 🎯 The right track makes your assessment more meaningful and your B Corp journey smoother.
Check out the B Impact Assessment Support Portal article on choosing the right track: https://lnkd.in/ev4jPAgU#EdinburghBCorp500#BCorp#BImpactAssessment#SustainableBusiness
