Today, as we celebrate #WorldEnvironmentDay, we reaffirm that our commitment to sustainability goes beyond words, it's about taking action.🌍 One example is our reforestation initiatives - organised by Nippon Gases Iberia - which have been awarded the European Industrial Gases Association (EIGA) Environment Award.🥇 The activities were first born in Miraflores de la Sierra in Madrid. Employees joined together to plant 750 native trees, offsetting up to 125 tonnes of CO2 emissions. Continuing this effort, our team in Portugal planted 1,000 trees in Vieira de Leiria, offsetting 166 tonnes of CO2 emissions.🌳🌱 These achievements are part of our broader commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability. We would like to thank all our participating employees and their families for their involvement and support for the success of these projects.💚 #Reforestation #Sustainability #NipponGases #EIGA #EIGAAward #EIGAEnvironmentAward

During Almedalsveckan 2024 in Visby, Gotland last week we picked up on an interesting new program called Water Wise Societies - the largest water innovation venture ever in Swedish history. ☝ Intending to make Sweden's water supply sustainable for everyone by the year 2050, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden in cooperation with IVL Svenska Miljöinstitutet, Linköping Science Park, Lund University, SEI — Stockholm Environment Institute, and Svenskt Vatten, want to engage some 60+ players from the public as well as the private sector to find new and innovative ways to create sustainable water systems for the future. 💧 One of the four core goals concerns the area of usage - alongside accessibility, sustaining healthy water bodies, and building resilience. More precisely, Water Wise Societies aims to significantly lower Sweden's water usage per capita. 🚿 Presenters also stressed the importance of all players in society taking action - specifically Sweden's industrial sector 🏭 which is responsible for 70% of our country's total water consumption. We applaud this initiative, and as home of one of the world's most water-saving innovations in ware washing, we remain at your service to discuss how you can turn your operation from costly and wasteful, to profitable and sustainable, and save up to 70% on water, energy, and chemicals. Some of our latest case studies showcasing impressive water savings 💦 Fairmont Singapore & Swissôtel The Stamford: https://lnkd.in/dsVx_Xir 💦 Linnea & Basilika: https://lnkd.in/du69Pab7 #pureperformance #almedalsveckan2024 #impactinnovation #vinnova

The #GSTC conference in Sweden is over and I have taken a lot of fresh impulses home with me. Many thanks to Randy Durband, Luigi Cabrini and Roi Ariel for a great conference! Where else do you have the opportunity to exchange ideas with over 500 like-minded people over two days? I particularly remember the controversial discussion on the EU #GreenClaimsDirective, which will not only be of great importance to consumers in the future, but will also have a significant impact on our sector. I have always been convinced that political frameworks are needed in order to make real progress with sustainability and the Green Claims Directive is one of them. Even if it comes with some challenges, those who are serious about sustainability will emerge stronger. Who this will be in the end remains to be seen. The Swedes would probably say that the winner takes it all.... And if you are interested in taking a look at my panel on sustainability in attractions with exciting contributions, here is the link: https://lnkd.in/drXSk6fu

🌍 Help Us Support Alpine Communities and #Biodiversity! 🌍 Did you know that many alpine communities dependent on tourism are at risk due to climate change? This year alone, landslides and floods have impacted several alpine regions across Europe. To tackle this, we’re launching Alpine Regenerative Hubs—a collaboration between Terrabiom (collaborative nature restoration) and Betreat  (tourism with purpose). Together, we’re rethinking tourism by promoting nature-restoring projects, enhancing current experiences, and engaging responsible travellers and businesses. We’ve been selected for Clima Now Spotlight 2024 and need your support! Please vote for us by selecting the 💚 on our project. Every vote counts!
