New mindsets and greater collaboration can lead to business opportunities that benefit a wide range of stakeholders and the environment. One example of this is the seaweed forest restoration project in Norway. By teaming up with NGOs, government, local communities, and academics, a company reliant on seaweed extracts has reversed the decline of this valuable natural resource. This project is a great example of how sustainable business practices and carbon capture can be achieved through collaboration and a mindset shift. #sustainablebusiness #carboncapture #collaboration #mindsetshift Check out the details of this successful project here: https://lnkd.in/eiJdW-tX

How does Arbonics help landowners and sustainability? We are covered in the Invest Estonia magazine.

🌳🌳🌳 Arbonics' new forest economy benefits sustainability and landowners. The Estonian #GreenTech creates income sources for forests and landowners by growing the voluntary #carbon market worldwide.

Happy World Planting Day! To further our environmental commitment, Arval has since 2021 partnered with Reforest’Action to launch our first international biodiversity project. It consists of planting or regenerating* one tree for every leased electrified (electric & hybrid) vehicle in all Arval countries. At the end of 2023, together with Reforest'Action, who is in charge of planting and regenerating trees, we have already financed 335.000 trees in 50 forests around the world. The goal is to finance 700,000 trees by 2025, in line with Arval's ambition to lease 700,000 electrified vehicles by the end of the Arval Beyond strategic plan. *Reforest’Action regenerates trees with Assisted Natural Regeneration which is a natural method that helps preserve and strengthen existing forests through management that combines the trees’ natural reproduction cycle with silviculture work. 📸: Reforest Action - Amblève (Belgium)

First carbon removal credits being retired by Miranda Bike Parts 🌱 🎉 We are thrilled to announce that Miranda Bike Parts has retired carbon removal credits from our ecological restoration project in Santa Clara-a-Velha, Portugal. Santa Clara-a-Velha is an area of 55ha that has been restored with more than 65,000 trees and shrubs of 7 native species to boost biodiversity, and increase the presence of local fauna and flora 🍃 🐝 Thank you to Miranda Bike Parts for supporting high-quality nature-positive #restoration projects in Europe. We hope this will serve as inspiration for other companies that want to make a transparent and tangible contribution to fighting against the effects of #climatechange and, at the same time, promoting the development of the rural community 🌍🌱 ℹ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 "𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭" 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧? 👉🏼 "Retiring" a carbon removal credit means permanently using the credit to offset a certain amount of carbon. In this case, each credit represents 1 tonne of CO2 removed. Once retired, the credit is registered to ensure it is marked as used and can't be sold or claimed again by anyone else. Thank you to our partners ASES Ecological and Sustainable Services, Caely Renewables and Nat5 for making this possible. Let's continue to drive sustainable change across Europe! 🚀

The focus in Europe on Ecovillages is not just an environmental endeavor but a comprehensive lifestyle shift towards sustainable, regenerative living. These communities are pioneering in merging traditional and modern sustainable practices, from alternative construction to energy use and agroforestry. Beyond environmental sustainability, European Ecovillages emphasize personal development, interpersonal skills, and community collaboration, challenging traditional societal models and fostering a culture of inclusivity and diversity. Interestingly, this aligns seamlessly with the EU's broader goals for a resource-efficient, green economy. The commitment to protecting natural habitats, ensuring water quality, and enhancing waste management reflects the essence of Ecovillages. This synergy suggests that Ecovillages are integral to Europe's sustainable future. #SustainableLiving #Ecovillages #ClimateAction #GreenEconomy #CommunityBuilding #EnvironmentalSustainability #EuropeanUnion #GlobalImpact #RegenerativePractices #innovation #innovationcircle

Wood Shapers is proud to contribute, as it does every year, to the restoration of our Belgian forests 🌲🌲🌲 This year, we are replanting 400 trees on a plot of land in Sevry, in the municipality of Beauraing, which saw all its spruce trees destroyed in a matter of minutes following the mini-tornado that hit the region in the summer 2021. This forest is PEFC certified. This internationally recognized certification guarantees that the forest management practiced here is sustainable, i.e. environmentally friendly, socially beneficial and economically viable 👊In total, we have already replanted 2,800 trees and taken part in the 🌏Trees for the Future research programme in collaboration with the Royal Forest Society of Belgium Société Royale Forestière de Belgique - Koninklijke Belgische Bosbouwmaatschappij (SRFB-KBBM). #sustainablerealestrate #sustainable #offsite #timber #construction #treesforfuture #PEFC #heroesforgood

With fifteen yachts under construction at the shipyard, Heesen has become one of the top five employers in Oss. Not only benefitting those who work with the shipyard, Heesen’s impact also extends to the local area. At Heesen, we do not just build yachts; we build communities… and forests. By supporting the local initiative Het Bos van Oss (‘The Forest of Oss’), we help to create a 50-acre forest. This project aims for a greener, more sustainable and bio-diverse living environment. At the same time, planting this forest brings together the local community. Schools educate their pupils on nature, and employers and residents are invited to cooperate in environmental projects. Therefore, The Forest of Oss becomes a symbol of joint action in support of a more sustainable future. #heesen #community #madeinoss #noordbrabant #sustainability #environment #bluenautech

Week #1 🌍 Embracing the Key Elements of the Brundtland Approach to Sustainable Development 🌱 In the pursuit of a sustainable future, it's crucial to understand and implement the principles laid out by the Brundtland Approach. Coined after Gro Brundtland, a visionary Norwegian politician and the former director-general of the World Health Organization, these principles provide a solid framework for responsible and equitable development. Here are the key elements of the Brundtland Approach: 1. Maintain Ecological Integrity and Diversity: Protecting our planet's biodiversity and preserving its ecosystems is at the heart of sustainable development. 2. Meet Basic Human Needs: Ensuring access to clean water, food, shelter, and healthcare is essential for human well-being. 3. Keep Options Open for Future Generations: We must make choices today that don't compromise the ability of future generations to meet their needs. 4. Reduce Injustice: Addressing social and economic inequalities is essential to achieving sustainable development. 5. Support Local Communities: Empowering local communities helps create sustainable, self-reliant societies. These principles remind us that sustainability is a holistic endeavor that encompasses the environment, society, and economy. Gro Brundtland's leadership, as she chaired the Brundtland Commission and presented the groundbreaking Brundtland Report, continues to inspire us to work towards a better future. 📚🌏 Let's keep these principles in mind as we strive to build a more sustainable world together! 💪🌱 #Sustainability #GroBrundtland #HOST1049 #saveplanet
