From early days studying civil engineering and frustra

Over the last few months, I’ve found myself having the same kind of conversation with friends, colleagues, and peers across the sustainability space. It usually starts with a sigh, maybe a joke about needing another coffee... and then it turns real. People are tired, really tired. Street art offering inspiration with bold "Never Give Up" graffiti and colorful heart patterns, set against an urban backdrop. This work, sustainability, climate action, ESG, whatever we call it, th

"The Energy Managers Association aims to encourage and enable more professionals to enter the world of energy management and environmental roles. Being an energy manager may not seem like the most obvious career for many. The EMA has taken on a challenge of changing the perception of energy management, by raising the sector’s profile and sharing its members’ – leading energy managers – insights into their career progress and achievements. In this issue, we have asked Matteo D

"To support companies to reduce carbon emissions across their value chain, the UN Global Compact Network UK hosted a series of topical webinars exploring how companies can tackle Scope 3 emissions categories as defined by the GHG Protocol. Participants heard from climate specialists and business leaders as they shared best practices for identifying, measuring, and reducing their Scope 3 emissions. In this first session of the series, participants learned about Category 7 - em

"For many project professionals, sustainability feels harder to progress right now. Delivery pressures are increasing, roles and teams are changing, and wider geopolitical uncertainty is affecting priorities and resourcing. The commitments may still be there, but maintaining momentum can feel more challenging. In the latest episode of the APM Sustainability Interest Network podcast, we explore sustainability fatigue through a project delivery lens. The discussion looks at why

"Ahead of the show, Big Zero speaker Matteo Deidda explains why supply chains are vital for net zero You must take your supply chain with you if you want to get to net zero. That's what Matteo Deidda from Lloyds Banking Group told me as we discussed how we can take all businesses on the journey to net zero. Matteo will be speaking at our Pathway to Net Zero talks offering a synopsis of the Lloyds group's ambition to halve its supply chain emissions by the end of this decade.

"With the UK Government’s commitment to reach net zero by 2050, organisations are feeling the strain of decarbonisation targets. But in the challenge lies opportunity. Ian and Chris learn how facilities management is stepping into the breach, delivering sustainable solutions to keep customers on track. Ian ventures to Halifax, where he descends three storeys below ground to see Lloyds Banking Group’s ground source heat pumps in action. And in Chelmsford, Chris learns how the

Matteo Deidda takes a seat on Liv’s yellow bench. " Offsetting is often described as a distraction from decarbonisation, or, worse, a scam or greenwash. At best, organisations often say "we will concentrate on carbon reductions first and only offset what we can't get rid of." But what if we've got it all wrong? Can 100% offsetting drive your Net Zero programme by acting as an internal carbon tax? Matteo Deidda of Tide , the all-in-one finance platform with a customer base of

I just finished a three-week course on the Ethics of AI from the London School of Economics. As someone who's spent 15 years working on climate change, I kept noticing parallels. Not because AI and climate are the same challenge. They're not. But because the dynamics around both feel remarkably similar, and I think there are some useful lessons we can draw from one to inform how we approach the other. A question about artificial intelligence is written on a whiteboard, sparki

Disclaimer: I'm a minimalist. I get stressed out by having too much stuff. Before I buy anything, I do an annoying amount of research. My wife will confirm getting me a present is more of a chore than a pleasure. A close-up view of a dew-kissed pine branch, adorned with a small cone, set against a backdrop of warm, glowing lights creating a festive and serene atmosphere. So this is a bit of an unusual post for me, but look, it's nearly Christmas and while the ideal thing woul

I attended an event this week, someone stopped me "I follow you on LinkedIn, I enjoy your content". We chatted, we shared our journey, we both learned from each other, and we left feeling a bit more energised. For many years, I was a LinkedIn scroller. I'd check in, read a few posts, maybe like something, and close the app. I wasn't sharing. I wasn't engaging properly. I definitely wasn't building anything intentional. I had lots to share in my head, but I felt uncomfortabl

I have one personal rule: if I get a message from a students or graduate who wants to start a career in sustainability, I always speak to them for 20-30 minutes. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but I will speak to them because finding your first job in the industry is really tough, and we (people that have been on it for a while) can really help out just by sharing some experience and advise. So yesterday I talked to a bright student from a top university considering sta

Last week, I watched a Channel 4 social experiment. AI competing for a job with a lawyer, a GP, a musician and a photographer. While the real life professionals bit AI in performance (for now), AI was generally cheaper, faster, and in some case the preferred option for the potential customers. So, I start wondering, are sustainability professionals like myself going to be replaced by AI anytime soon? And so I thought, who best to ask this question than ChatGPT, the irony....

If you ask me what my number one worrying about my daughters´ future is, it won´t take me a second to answer: “climate change”. If you ask me, as a sustainability professional, if I think that we stand a chance to fix climate change – on a bad day I will just answer “No Way”. Bright white letters on a pastel pink pegboard deliver a calming message: "Don't Panic." Often, when I throw something away, I just can’t avoid thinking about where it will end up, a landfill, an ocean,
