Join Team Solect at the 2nd Annual Summit on Maine’s Economy & Climate Change, hosted by CLIMATEWORK MAINE. Date: Thursday, May 9th; Time: 8 am - 5 pm; Location: Augusta Civic Center, Augusta, Maine. As #climatechange continues to escalate globally, it's imperative that we take proactive steps within our spheres of influence. Let's prioritize carbon #emissionreduction, #decarbonization efforts, adopting #renewableenergy sources, and integrating #sustainability practices into our business models. At this summit, we'll delve into how #Maine's business community can collectively tackle the challenges posed by the climate crisis, steering the state’s environment and economy toward a more sustainable future.

Nice job moderating Lauren Pesa! Great to hear from the panelists on their strategies for decarbonization across commercial, residential, and logistics real estate. A few salient takeaways from this session: 💓 - Sustainability efforts, just like all business initiatives, are fundamentally human-driven and require understanding and responding to people's hopes and fears, incentives, motivations, and behaviors. 💲 - Decarbonization is not just the right thing to do, but is also the profitable thing to do, not just in energy savings, but also operational and maintenance costs. Important for all stakeholders (incl. tenants, owners, vendors) to benefit, and to communicate those benefits to all. 🤓 - Especially interesting to hear from Brookfield Properties about the importance of data to drive strategy, and their use of Willow to get insights from across such a large portfolio of RE assets, from the granular (irregularities in specific pieces of HVAC hardware) to the macro level (real-time grid energy and pricing). Kudos! #ClimateWeek2023 #ClimateWeekNYC #CREtech #ClimateDay #sustainability #realestate #smartbuildings #grid #electrification #digitaltwins #future

To mark Earth Day 🌍, our co-founder and MD David Brookes wrote about some of his favourite game-changing businesses doing their bit to counteract the effects of #climatechange. We think it's vital to shine a spotlight on the meaningful action that’s being taken to promote sustainability and help people live more environmentally-conscious lives.

🌎 We currently see lots of European companies taking action on calculating and sharing sustainability data with their customers. An interesting observation is that a big portion of them are actually companies that are not neccessarily required to report towards CSRD legislation themselves, but are part of the value chains of big companies that need to report towards CSRD or have set SBTi targets. Big drivers within SME companies that are currently taking action are: ✅ They know that it's coming their way and want to proactively have their data ready for when the moment comes that their biggest customer asks for it. ✅ They've already received questionnaires from some of their customers, or are obliged to fill in EcoVadis or other platforms. ✅ They don't have the time / resources themselves to calculate their CO2 footprint, however, they want to have an initial idea on their baseline emissions (the current status) in order to be able to quantify the climate efforts they're taking anyways (e.g. solar panels, electric vehicles, ...). That way they can prove towards customers 1) that they're taking actions and 2) that these actions have a quantifiable impact on their own CO2 footprint, resulting in a decreasing CO2 footprint for their customers as well. ⌛ Time is ticking: most SMEs want to have their Scope 1, 2 and 3 data available by the end of 2024, in order to be ready when required by their biggest customers, which will be in 2025 at latest.

Mark Watts, Executive Director of C40 Cities, is optimistic that the 15-minute city will emerge as the most embraced sustainability initiative this year. The idea is simple yet powerful: Can cities be designed for everyone to access parks, schools, and work within a short walk or bike ride? Read this article by the TIME in which Watts discusses its potential to cut global carbon emissions by 25% by 2050. 🏙️🚶♂️ #UrbanPlanning #Sustainability #ClimateAction #C40cities #15minutecity #Time100climate

“Far too many people think of sustainability as ‘Oh, it’s a net negative on the economy’. Yet, when you look at the numbers, it’s one of the biggest job creation and economic value creation opportunities, certainly in the rest of my lifetime. So unequivocally, there’s massive opportunity," explains CBRE's Robert Bernard.

Why should businesses invest in Carbon Removal technologies? As the climate crisis continues to unfold, it's become increasingly clear that reducing emissions alone won't be enough. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) underscores that removing carbon from the atmosphere is a crucial component of any comprehensive climate strategy. Carbon Removal technologies offer a proactive way for companies to tackle their unavoidable and historical emissions. They don't just offset but also remove previously emitted CO2, which contributes to achieving net-zero targets and making real progress towards reversing climate change. Investing in these technologies sends a powerful message: businesses are taking responsibility for their environmental footprint. It also positions them at the forefront of climate leadership, enhancing corporate reputation and fostering goodwill among customers, stakeholders, and employees. At Klimate.co, we’re dedicated to accelerating the adoption of Carbon Removal technologies. If your business is ready to take the next step in your sustainability journey, reach out to discuss how we can work together towards a more positive future. #ClimateAction #CarbonRemoval #Sustainability #NetZero
