SSE Energy Solutions: The window for 1.5C is shutting. What do businesses need to do now to transform rapidly?

Direct emissions from listed companies are expected to make the world 2.9c warmer by the end of this century.  Analysis has shown 9,300 public companies from 23 developed countries are devouring their carbon budget designed to keeping warming below 1.5c. And shockingly just under half of the companies researched have a net zero target in place.  David Grinsted, SSE’s Energy Intelligence Platform Manager will be opening the window on how businesses can properly engage with energy efficiencies and deep decarbonization that is desperately needed to keep the 1.5C goal alive.

Everflow: Water Sustainability: we need to stop pouring money down the drain!

This year has broken all the records – we’ve had the driest summer, the hottest temperatures and the highest gas & electricity prices ever recorded.  We’ve seen water shortages and hosepipe bans across the UK, and still, we don’t do anything to save water. While the press blames water wholesalers for not fixing leaks, what action are we taking as individuals and as businesses? We need to do more to save water, not only for the country but for our bank balances, too. During times like these, saving money isn’t just a bonus, it’s essential. We’ll look at what you can do, and the advice you can offer your customers, not only from a water aspect but also from a waste perspective too.
