Great to join the recent ESG (Enivronmental, Social, Governance) roundtable hosted by Burges Salmon LLP and Business West. It was encouraging to see the growing maturity and commitment to ESG across industries and share approaches and lessons. Progress is impressive, though are we as a society going hard enough and fast enough and how do we bring everyone on a journey that is accessible and equitable? Thanks to the contributors The Bristol Port Company, Hargreaves Lansdown, Great Western Railway (GWR), EDF, JLL, Babbasa Socius and Stride Treglown.

Thanks to Mehalah Beckett for an excellent overview of the benefits BCorp for business at the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce today. Lots of guidance on what's involved in each of the BCorp categories and how to get started without feeling overwhelmed. 🌍 At Ryden we're measuring our emissions, setting targets and developing our whole ESG strategy for the benefit of internal and external stakeholders. #bcorpcertified #esgstrategy #communityengagement

#CONGRATS to our Corporate Patron, FPM on the launch of its own Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Division which will support businesses build sustainable futures. Aveen McShane has become the ESG Director at FPM, one of the leading chartered accountancy and business advisory practices on the Island of Ireland, which is now part of the AAB Group. In line with the global imperative for decarbonisation, ESG reporting legislation is ramping up around the world. In the last year, ESG reporting changes have been written into EU regulations and will be written into UK regulations over the next three years, impacting a range of businesses from larger companies through to SMEs. In a bid to help support businesses of all sizes to integrate sustainability principles into their operations and so comply with these legal requirements, FPM has announced the launch of their ESG Division. In addition to compliance, businesses stand to gain a number of competitive advantages by taking action to establish this framework for measuring and reporting on the ESG topics, potentially including: • Greater Attraction & Retention of Talent • Increased Profitability & Retention of Contracts • Acquiring New Business • Access to Finance • Cost Savings 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘: https://lnkd.in/evEfBhd9 #FPM #ESGDivision #Launched #Sustainability #Newry

It signifies that we meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. Being a B Corp means being part of a global movement of companies using business as a force for good. It's not just about what we do, but how we do it. Every decision we make is guided by our values and our mission to create a better world for future generations. Business can be a force for good. Let's continue to lead by example and inspire others to join us in building a more sustainable and equitable future. #BCorp #Sustainability #PurposeDriven #Impact #ProudMoment
