This was a wonderful session I attended at Recycled Materials Association (ReMA)'s conference in April; hearing the journeys of women doing serious mahi globally in the recycled materials industry. I'm inspired - thank you! Susie Burrage OBE Bureau of International Recycling (BIR) Antonia Biggs Fuenzalida Asociación Nacional de la Industria del Reciclaje A.G Mary Wardle AWMI - Association Of Women In The Metal Industries - International My team here in NZ have always said we can sell our recycled materials 10 times over offshore. I never really believed it until I experienced the demand within the exhibition hall, within seminars, in the hallways as I commuted between the events. Buyers from all around the world approaching Eldon Reeve, Murray Smith and I constantly; wanting Phoenix's high quality renewable recycled materials - to increase the recycled content of their materials within their sustainable manufacturing processes. Phoenix Recycling Group were Deloitte's 2023 NZ National Fast50 - fastest growing exporter last year. Phoenix also won New Zealand Trade and Enterprise's 2023 National Investment for Growth Award. We are doing the right thing, even from Aotearoa NZ; its makes sense. Even with the distances travelled. Yes, we're tracking and carbon counting to make sure it's worth it. #ToituTogether Robin Wiener Jennifer S.

How can businesses align with the Sustainable Development Goals? Two weeks ago our Annual Summit brought together sustainability leaders covering all industries to drive sustainability while ensuring business success. Smiley Movement spoke to change-makers, campaigners, and industry leaders who attended the event to explore and exchange solutions to some of humanity’s biggest challenges. Participants came together “all understanding and sharing that vision” said Steve Kenzie, who believes the SDGs serve as a powerful framework for change.

In the last 4 years, nine start-ups across two cohorts of our Waste Innovation Accelerator as part of H&M Foundation’s Saamuhika Shakti initiative, have collectively diverted ~4000 tonnes of waste from landfills and avoided ~2400 tonnes of CO2e emissions. They've employed 40+ waste pickers, trained and upskilled them, leading to a significant increase in their income.    Watch the video to learn more about the selected start-ups from Phase 1 and their innovative solutions. https://lnkd.in/gP4u9RFj   Stay tuned for updates as we continue to support #InclusiveCircularInnovations   Maria Bystedt | Fernanda Drumond | Manoj Kumar | Smita Rakesh | Aishwarya KS | Rushali Shivprasad | Uthara Iyer | Sakshi Gore | Sukanya Dutta Gupta | Sattva Consulting #InclusiveCircularInnovations #InvestedInImpact #CircularEconomy #inclusiveinnovation #circularity #wastepickercommunity #empowerment #transformative #SaamuhikaShakti #Sustainability 

Why is sustainable co-innovation so important? As part of last year's Festival, Natasha Chorlton, Manager, Circular Economy and Recyclability at Ahlstrom joined the Women in Circular Panel: A Circular Approach to the Bottom Line. Chorlton spoke about two fascinating real-world examples of sustainable co-innovation in action that she said wouldn't have been possible just a few years ago. Do you have any examples of circular thinking in action? Let us know your thoughts in the comments! #FOCE #CircularEconomy

As we celebrate International Women's Day, it is important to recognize the significant contributions of women in the field of waste management and their role in promoting sustainability. Women have been breaking barriers and making a difference in this critical sector, driving positive change and creating economic opportunities; from the waste pickers in local communities to the leaders driving change in regenerative finance. At CHATAFISHA we recognize the immense value that women bring to waste management and to the world. By supporting and uplifting women, we are driving positive change and contributing to a more inclusive and sustainable waste management system. "When we invest in women and girls, we are investing in the people who invest in everyone else." - Melinda Gates 💪 #IWD2024 #empowerwomen #RegenerativeFinance

All three speakers have given some key messages from their particular perspective, on the future of sustainability reporting and the key things that are required. We're wrapping up Session 3 with questions from the audience, which focus on the need for clear Board responsibilities and the issues around implementing reporting. Breaking now for a networking lunch - we'll be back with Session Four on 'Workers’ rights and inclusion in corporate decisions'. #ICGN2023

As we observe #InternationalWomensDay, we honour women at the forefront of making progress for People, Nature, and Climate. In our second edition, we’re learning about the choice of World Resources Institute’s Elisa Scalise, Director of Land and Resource Rights: Lina Goodman, CEO of Tyre Stewardship Australia and a pioneer for innovative solutions for a circular tire economy. “It is not a glamourous area but so very needed when you think of what goes into making tyres and the incredible amount of waste they create,” says Elisa. “What I appreciate about Lina is that she leads and inspires creative problem solving in a tough industry that is not accustomed to change. She is pragmatic and understands how business works and she knows how to create the right incentives for all corporate actors to change their behaviours for the greater good.” ⭐ Who are your women champions related to sustainability, nature or climate?
