Items that Reen and his team source can be as small as a USB cable to as large as massive pieces of machinery and anything in between. Reen’s Procurement team is made up of 100% Indigenous employees. At Woollahra, we are creating pathways for Indigenous Australians to enter into Procurement as a career option. We would like to thank our 2 biggest partners in this space Fortescue & ISS Facility Services Australia and New Zealand who have helped us grow this channel within our business. The benefit of using Woollahra for your “ad hoc” procurement needs is simple. 1. You are supporting an Indigenous Business that is creating employment opportunities for Indigenous People. 2. A % from the sale of every item we procure goes directly back into the Indigenous Communities where the items we purchase end up being used. 3. We are simplifying your supply chain. No need to onboard thousands of vendors, we can get you just about anything you could possibly require, at a competitive price. 4. Our service. The Woollahra team make it our mission to deliver outstanding customer service, fast response rates, realistic lead times, open communication, flexibility and agility.

Germany is a fascinating country with one of the most advanced waste management systems. To prevent waste there are a lot of reusable and refillable packaging. One good example are bottles. On the German market there are refillable glass and PET bottles. The latter have absolutely the lowest CO2 footprint and can be used about 20-25 times. Absolutely safely in a very cautious country like Germany. Good news that the refillable bottles have reversed the trend and started increasing. The last data are for 2020, but I expect it to continue in that trajectory. And reach its non-binding (sadly) target of 70 %. In addition, Germany has ambitious packaging recycling targets. About 90 % for most of the packaging materials. In contrast, Lithuania for glass has 70 % this year and will hardly reach it, because packaging responsibility organizations are doing a lousy job. It is possible to solve it by putting all the drink packaging into a deposit return scheme with incentives for refillable (or penalties for single use) bottles. And now the honorable mention for The Coca-Cola Company, which markets itself as very environmentally friendly. For Germany - many options of refillable bottles, for Lithuania and most of other countries - almost none or none. Enough with the greenwashing, same refillables for everyone!

Watch this video to experience "A Day in the Forest" 🌱 The initiative, led by Fórum Nacional das Atividades de Base Florestal (FNBF) and guided by Richard Rasmussen, brought journalists, digital influencers, architects, engineers, and public authorities to witness the reality of forest management up close. To understand the forest's lifecycle, from the careful selection of trees to harvesting, not forgetting the innovative use of a QR Code to trace each log from the forest to the end consumer, just press play. Together with FNBF, we aim to showcase the difference between illegal deforestation and sustainable forest management. That's why, whenever you purchase native wood, you ensure a sustainable product from areas monitored by environmental authorities. We continue together, for a better future, in harmony with nature and conscious use of resources! 🌿💚

♻️🏆 Kringloopwijzer nominated for the Impact Award! With the Kringloopwijzer, dairy farmers can demonstrate the environmental impact of their dairy farm. They can show society that they are making good choices for the environment, provided they score well on environmental indicators. The label ‘On the way to planet proof’ could not exist without the Kringloopwijzer. The reason for developing the Kringloopwijzer is that the Netherlands is a small country with a lot of cattle and milk production. Which results in a lot of manure. This forces us to be cautious with the environment. A broad consortium of partners contributed to the development of the Kringloopwijzer, not only WUR but also the feed industry, dairy industry and the farmers themselves were involved. The Kringloopwijzer exists for eight years now and it is impossible to imagine the sector without it. The dairy sector believes it to be such a good tool that it has been made compulsory since 2016 for all dairy farmers to fill it out. Talk about impact! The Impact Award will showcase five nominated teams sharing their successes. The Award will be presented to a team of WUR researchers that has distinguished itself and achieved tangible impact in the past years. ✔ Cast your vote: https://lnkd.in/enKBb6aJ 🔎 Watch the video: https://lnkd.in/eJXXT4Dx #livestock #dairyfarming #impact

What a fabulous program. Founded by Jenny Henman, Plant Your Future works in the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest with smallholder farmers to restore deforested and degraded land to rainforest cover through planting native fruit and timber trees, and indigenous crops. The grassroots model developed by Plant Your Future addresses a significant driver of deforestation — poverty — by putting the resources and knowledge needed for sustainable tree agriculture into the hands of disadvantaged smallholder farmers in the Peruvian Amazon who have so often missed out on global investment in farming, forestry and climate change mitigation projects.   Farmers are empowered to restore their land with agroforestry and improve their income and livelihoods with harvests from sustainable rainforest fruits, timber and carbon credits. Working at the grassroots to improve livelihoods and incomes is reducing the threat of deforestation, fighting climate change while also providing vital habitat for the incredible biodiversity of the Amazon. https://lnkd.in/gPww6EeW

Founded in 1959 by Youssef Abou Ghnaim, Manara Dairy began its journey as a farm, distributing milk across the country until the factory was built and operational. Today, the company is led by Saed Abou ghnaim and is in its third generation, continuously updating and expanding while maintaining the tradition that sets them apart. Their path intersected with ILPRA through a fortuitous meeting with Livio Portera, ILPRA Middle East Director, that marked the genesis of a significant collaboration that has become integral to success. They seamlessly integrated ILPRA's cutting-edge machines into their processes, from thermoformers to tray sealers, up to fill seal. The result? A partnership that has endured the test of time. Manara Dairy vision extends beyond dairy excellence to embrace sustainability. They aspire to be an environmentally conscious entity, incorporating eco-friendly materials and harnessing the power of solar energy. In this journey towards a greener future, ILPRA stands as a cornerstone in their plans. The interview concludes with these beautiful words from Saed: "ILPRA in the past, ILPRA now, and ILPRA in the future. With ILPRA, we will grow together."… and we can only hope to work with such special companies as Manara Dairy!
