‘When people ask me about my work, I tell them it’s my dream job, and I mean it wholeheartedly. Every week I connect with businesses in Bristol that have a genuine commitment to reducing emissions and are actively working to operate more responsibly and sustainably. With so much climate news focussing on what is not happening, it’s been so inspiring to tap into the widespread climate action taking place.
Over the last eight months, I’ve personally connected with more than thirty Redcliffe and Temple businesses, and nearly all of them have a net zero target and are reporting on progress. Progress might be mixed and generally limited to scopes 1 and 2, but overall businesses are working hard to strengthen their credibility by signing up for accreditations such as SBTi and they’re recognising the need to empower staff and accelerate climate action in order to meet the increasing demand from clients and suppliers.’
