Welcome to our first NCZ Newsletter!

 

Within these…

 

• You’ll find out about key industry events.
• You’ll discover sustainability tips you can act on immediately.
• And you’ll get to know our team on a more personal level… for example, who do you think started their career as a film star?

 

But first, we hope you’re having a great start to 2024!

 

It may only be the second week, but lots of exciting things are happening already here.

 

We’ve partnered with the Dubai Sports Council to deliver the world’s first Carbon Neutral Soccer Awards next week! So, we’re busy establishing their baseline carbon footprint, that’ll form the benchmark to reduce their emissions year-on-year.

 

We’re also helping lots of businesses start their journey to net zero. Therefore, a huge welcome goes to everyone who joined us in the last quarter of 2023.

 

Net zero really is a collective effort, and it’s great to see so many businesses stepping up and taking responsibility to reduce their carbon emissions.

 

Yes, starting that journey can seem daunting, but our friendly team are here to guide your business, set realistic goals, and then help you achieve them.

 

Embedding sustainability into the very heart of your business makes commercial and environmental sense!

Sustainability Tip – Lights-Off Lunch Hour

Why not implement a ‘Lights-Off Lunch Hour’, where non-essential lights and electronic devices are turned off during a set period?

 

This small act can significantly lower your company’s energy consumption, showcasing its commitment to sustainability, while not only benefiting the bottom line, but also encouraging staff to take a break from screens, boosting productivity and well-being!

 

Team Spotlight

Get to know our CEO a little better, Alan Stenson’s in the hot seat this month….

Q) What’s your claim to fame Alan?

Q) If you had the opportunity to know the future, would you want to know?

A) That’s a tough one! I think we shape our own future, so on that basis I’d rather not be told…but if it was the next set of lottery numbers, now that’s a different story!

A) Ha ha! ‘Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me’ by George Michael 😉

Q) What’s your favourite childhood memory?

A) Growing up in Vancouver, Canada and seeing a black bear scratching its back on a tree whilst walking in the mountains. I feel the need to confirm that I had adults with me at the time!

Q) Tea or Coffee?

A) Definitely coffee!
