Wecome to the EBN

by | Mar 23, 2020 | Events, News

The EBN is a multi-sector community comprising environmental professionals from industry, consultancies, advising businesses, education and the supply chain.

Whilst the urgent and demanding need to reverse climate change occupies our thoughts and provides the backdrop to the network’s purpose, we are very much focused on connecting our members together so that they continue the excellent work they do for their companies and in discovering innovative solutions to practical environmental challenges.

To borrow an expression from the former Performance Director of British Cycling we are focused on championing the “marginal gains” that are made everyday in the environmental business sector.

We believe that it is the environmental professionals, and their supply chain, that will deliver a lot of the science-based solutions that will help industry dramatically improve its environmental stewardship which, in turn, will contribute to the climate change challenge.

These are challenging times for everyone and in times like this people need to come together. The EBN’s objective is to create a community of like-minded people who care deeply about the environment and want to share best practice. At the same time, however, business cannot simply stop so we will work hard with our members to help them adopt the behaviours, language and influencing skills needed to convince Boards of both the need for, and commercial potential in, better environmental management.

It is unrealistic to expect a CEO not to focus on share price but the EBN will empower its members to fuse commercial focus with environmental and social awareness to enhance business and brand reputation. Ultimately, for both corporates and SMEs alike, this will increase shareholder and stakeholder value.

So, why not join us and enjoy the benefits of a far reaching Influencing Skills programme, which is being put together by a leading Learning & Development consultancy, meet great people at our events (we will be announcing events in London, Exeter, Bristol and Bury St Edmunds with many more to come), share best practice, actively learn and enhance your own CV and discover new and
exciting innovations through the supply chain.

Our processes ensure we take an environmentally responsible approach to delivering large format digital print together with the services we provide and the processes we operate. By their very nature, large format printing uses large volumes and sometimes generates large volumes of media waste.

We were one of the first digital print production companies to gain the ISO14001 Environmental Certification and we have introduced innovative methods of recycling used, waste and unused materials.

Today, sustainability is part of how we work and is increasingly critical to the future of digital printing.

Leverets Group

leveretsgroup.co.uk

 

In 2018, Leverets Advocacy’s two founding partners – barrister Rupert Butler and solicitor Stephanie Davies – set out to remove the restrictions on where and how lawyers can practice, and usher in a new era of legal service excellence.

Realising the traditional approach of the client instructing a solicitor, who in turn instructs a barrister and then both work separately, is expensive and inefficient, they set out to build a combined practice.

The goal was to deliver a streamlined, cost-effective and highly personal client experience, free from the disruptive fragmentation of the traditional model.

And that’s exactly what they have achieved.

Building on their experience in both litigation and transactional matters, as well as dispute resolution and mediation, commercial and company litigation, personal and corporate insolvency, civil fraud and public inquiries. This blended service of strategic and advocacy skills is a particularly powerful combination.

Leverets has carved a reputation for handling exceptional, high value legal cases on behalf of large international enterprises and corporate clients, as well as high profile individuals and dynamic SME business leaders.

Cases are handled by the same blended team throughout, at all levels of courts and tribunals, including advocacy and media relations, which creates a personal, streamlined, and cost-efficient service for you.

Energise

energise.com

Energise is an award-winning Net Zero and Sustainability consultancy supporting customers being a force for good.

In 2008, husband and wife duo Simon and Tamsin Alsbury set off on a mission to “save the world” by educating organisations on the importance and practicalities of improving their energy efficiency. What they discovered along the way was that running a business “the right way,” where business is used as a vehicle for good both in the work it delivers and the way it relates to its stakeholders, is the key to real change. Because living more sustainably, being mindful of the environment we’re in and our relationship to this planet we call home, is less about climate change and more about culture change.

And while our understanding of what’s required to shift our economy towards Net Zero and a more sustainable future has changed over the past decade, our commitment and passion have not.

We facilitate progress by enabling utilities, energy, and industrial infrastructure owners to overcome the biggest environmental challenges of the 21st century.

  • Preventive maintenance – compliance assessment and asset maintenance to reduce the risk of environmental incidents.
  • Emergency response – rapid response in the event of an environmental incident.
