The Sustainable Development Goals and your business
So, you may or may not have heard of the Sustainable Development Goals, or SDG’s. What are they, how do they relate to your business and what opportunities do they open up for you?
Oxford Wood Recycling is hosting an interactive and engaging session on Tuesday 19th February at their Abingdon works to explore this increasingly important topic.
The 2030 SDG’s Game was designed in Japan in 2016 and the experience has become a powerful and impactful social phenomenon there, earning extensive media coverage and reaching over 30,000 participants last year.
It has now arrived in the UK and having been enthused after taking part in a previous event, Oxford Wood Recycling CEO Richard Snow was so enthused and inspired he decided to organise this event. He explained, “The SDGs provide an inspirational global context for our environmental and social objectives and the Game provides a great opportunity for us to engage further with our local community”.
Attendance is by ticket only, available on Eventbrite: http://bit.ly/OWR_SDG

Sustainability in business: from ambition to action
At October’s B4 Sustainability Ecosystem members were unanimous that attaining net zero carbon emissions by 2050 was an important target in our drive to reduce our carbon footprint, address climate change and implement a sustainable business approach. However, while the environmental and social aspirations to ‘be better’ and ‘do good’ were clear, many did not know what the carbon footprint of their business was or felt unsure what the steps should be to convert strategy into direct actions. As session lead Toby Newman from environment consultants, Enistic, explained: “If it can’t be measured, it can’t be improved.”
