WSP in the Middle East’s Post

🌍 As someone who has been in the sustainability and ESG scene for close to 20 years, I've always been intrigued by how different organizations define "Sustainability." 🔍 In German, we have the unique ability to create hyper-specific words by combining different nouns, which you may have seen on social media. This linguistic flexibility allows us to convey complex concepts more precisely. 🌱 Bringing certified Carbon Literacy courses to the Middle East aims to alleviate some of these complexities by clearly dissecting what is meant by various sustainability terms and how they interconnect. And no, we will not be giving these courses in German. Working together with ThinkZero and Cle-Anne Gabriel, a Sustainability leader in the Asia Pacific region, makes this initiative especially rewarding. 📈 If this sounds interesting for your organization, please reach out to Rinku David or myself. Let's make sustainability and decarbonization simpler and more impactful together! #Sustainability #ESG #Decarbonization #NetZero #CarbonLiteracy #WSPMiddleEast #ThinkZero #SustainabilityLeadership

Since the beginning of my career, I've often been asked what my job entails and what sustainability truly means. Over time, I've noticed a growing awareness of the term "sustainability." However, despite this increased familiarity, many still lack a fundamental understanding of the basics. 🔍Recognizing this gap in knowledge, it's time for us to elevate our understanding, starting with impactful organizational education. 🤝 WSP and ThinkZero have joined forces to guide organizations on their carbon journey. Our aim is to bridge knowledge gaps and ensure a common understanding of carbon through comprehensive Carbon Literacy training. 🌍 If you are eager to learn more, please feel free to reach out to me. Let's work together to make a meaningful impact! #WSPMiddleEast #ClimateChange #Decarbonization

Did you know? 🤔 Carbon Literacy is a great way to engage with the organisations in your scope 3! We've had clients invite their customers, suppliers and tenants along to these workshops, to get everyone on the same page, speaking the same language and sharing their perspectives on Climate Change. Listen as Cle-Anne Gabriel and our partner Philipp Rosenthal from WSP in the Middle East discuss the advantages and some of the unexpected positive outcomes of Carbon Literacy in the latest episode of the WSP Anticipate Podcast.
