Shrishti Gupta (Digital Marketing Executive) and Imy Allibhai (Graduate Sustainability Consultant) reflect on our B Corp commitments, and how we practice what we preach and striving towards net zero.
In a world where the imperatives of sustainability and environmental responsibility are becoming increasingly urgent, companies like Optimised stand out as beacons of innovation and commitment. In this article, we explore the power of the B Corp movement, the significance of getting to net zero emissions, and how Optimised is leading the charge towards a sustainable future.
Every year during March, the global B Corp Community join together to celebrate everything it means to be a B Corp, raising awareness of the movement across the world. This year, the aim is to show the world how we move forward, together. B Corp Certification isn’t a destination. It’s an invitation to join the journey to better business.
The urgency of addressing climate change has never been more evident. The latest reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) paint a stark picture of the consequences of inaction, emphasising the need to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and the loss of biodiversity all underscore the critical importance of transitioning to a low-carbon economy.
Against this backdrop, the concept of net zero emissions has emerged as a beacon of hope, a tangible pathway towards mitigating the worst effects of climate change. Net zero refers to achieving a balance between the amount of greenhouse gases emitted and what is removed from the atmosphere. This ambitious goal requires a concerted effort from governments, businesses, and individuals alike. Read our reflections here from COP28.
