Surplus NHS supplies find new life helping those in need

Do you work on sustainability issues in your organisation or you know somebody that does?

If the answer is yes, get ready to help make a change!

As part of my usual daily call routine I have been speaking to sustainability managers coming back to work after the Easter break. 

Many of them are saying that the David Attenborough, Extinction Rebellion, Climate Emergency declarations are helping them push their sustainability objectives. 

Staff are more engaged, Senior staff are more informed. 

2/3rds of Britons agree the planet is in a climate emergency.

Greta Thunberg, the Climate Emergency Movement , David Attenborough, plastics and Extinction Rebellion are the single biggest conduit of opportunity of the last 30 years for getting sustainability changes, policies, and plans, introduced into your organisations and embedded into culture deeply.

It is time to review and reinvigorate your Green Champion Network. 

It is time to ride this wave of interest and use it to make lasting sustainable change.

But how? We are going to tell you how to harness and take action!

When it comes to video marketing, leveraging your workforce is an excellent way to have a powerful impact on other members of the organisation, as well as external partners.

We’ve spoken about this topic in this past, showing how some of our partners have used a staff video to increase participation in reuse, namely by getting senior figures to take part and encourage engagement.

Being a Sustainability Manager is more than just a job, it’s a lifestyle and a mentality.

Sometimes it doesn't even feel like work because you are so absorbed in this mission.

Those who are most successful in this position are the people who understand that delivering sustainability is a part of their character and not just a means of getting paid.

The most successful also understand they cannot do it alone, that sustainability is achieved via collaboration.  Which subsequently means collaborative skills are top of the list. 

In the past being successful has also been about the long game and waiting for the planets to align...but this has to change.
