At Lynkbase, we are committed to making a positive impact on our planet. Today, we celebrate World Environment Day and reaffirm our dedication to sustainability and environmental stewardship. This year's theme, "Restore Our Earth," reminds us that every action counts. Here are some of the initiatives we are proud to support: 🌱 Green Initiatives: We have implemented energy-saving technologies across our offices and facilities, reducing our carbon footprint and promoting renewable energy sources. 🚯 Zero Waste Goal: We are working towards a zero-waste policy by minimizing waste production and maximizing recycling efforts. 💧 Water Conservation: Our water-saving measures are designed to protect this precious resource and ensure its availability for future generations. 🌳 Community Projects: We partner with local organizations to plant trees, clean up natural spaces, and educate our communities about the importance of environmental care. 💼 Employee Engagement: Our employees are encouraged to participate in green practices both at work and at home, fostering a culture of sustainability. Let's celebrate our planet today and every day by taking steps to preserve and restore our environment. Together, we can make a difference! #WorldEnvironmentDay #PerformanceMarketing #Sustainability #RestoreOurEarth #Agency #GreenInitiatives #Digitalmarketing #EcoFriendly #CPA #BTCompany

We had an awesome first night of Circular Cities Week last night! It was a great turnout and an exciting conversation on framing and discussing the circular economy! A huge shout out to our panelists Margie Bell, Joan Popolo, Inge Donovan, Rachel M.K. Perlman, PhD, and Stephanie Rivera Ortiz for moderating the conversation! A big takeaway for me is culture's role in developing systems of #repair, #reuse, and sharing. These are timeliness concepts that support resource conservation, spending, and #efficiency. How do we recognize examples of these practices outside of circularity and leverage those lessons when building circular models? Thank you CIC (Cambridge Innovation Center) for hosting us in your space! We will be back tonight at 6 pm for Day 2, Driving Circularity: Legislation, Advocacy, and Incentives! Avantika M. from the City of Boston, Sylvia Muñoz Rodríguez from Ecocir, and Representative Michelle Ciccolo will be speaking. It's not too late to register! Free 🍷 and 🍺 will be served to 21+! And we have snacks and non-alcoholic options available for free, too! https://lnkd.in/evPccZrR #circularcitiesweek #circulareconomy #zerowaste #sustainability #boston #circularsystems

We're excited to share our 2023 Impact Report, a testament to our dedication to advancing socially just, culturally rich, and ecologically restorative communities. This report highlights the incredible strides made by our team and our global community of professionals, advocates, and volunteers. Together, we've made significant progress, and we remain committed to shaping a future we all deserve. At the heart of our work are frameworks that challenge the status quo and redefine what's possible. The Living Building Challenge continues to set the bar for regenerative design, inspiring projects worldwide. Our other programs—Living Product Challenge, Zero Carbon, Zero Energy certifications, and the Declare and Just labels—further drive innovation across industries. Our theory of change is simple: prove that regenerative buildings, products, and practices are not only possible but scalable. These successes will drive the widespread change needed to build a better future. Explore the full report and join us in pushing these boundaries even further!

Excited to share another piece on adaptive reuse! I’m passionate about these projects, not just because they’re at the core of my business, but because of the incredible potential they have to transform our industry. These initiatives bring immense value to our communities and play a crucial role in reducing our global footprint. 🌍 #AdaptiveReuse #SustainableDesign #GreenBuilding #CircularEconomy #ClimateAction #UrbanRevitalization

Small actions can lead to significant environmental benefits. Reducing power consumption promotes sustainable practices in our workplaces. It is worth mentioning that achieving these power-saving goals is possible using MyViewBoard Manager. This device management solution efficiently monitors and controls power usage across all connected devices. We can schedule power-downs, optimise energy consumption, and contribute to a more sustainable future with just a few clicks. Let's embrace this initiative and make a real impact! 🌍💡 #Sustainability #GreenTech #PowerDown #ViewSonic #MyViewBoardManager #EcoFriendly #TechForGood #ProductManagement #EnergyEfficiency

I’ve finally met the legend of the circular economy - William McDonough. Here are his 5 lessons for everyone in sustainability: 1. Design for the end of use - Not the end of life - We need objects of infinite utility 2. Forget the ‘net zero’ - Stop being less bad - focus on doing good 3. Offsets are scary - offseting CO2 is a dead end - let’s inset instead 4. Start with values, not targets - values -> vision -> strategy -> KPIs - not the other way around 5. It’s not hard to abate - it’s hard to stop, think and design - so let’s go ahead and do it! Which one is your favorite? We’ve met at Regeneration.VC ‘s annual event, Reassembly. Definitely a highlight of my whole week in NYC! Thanks Michael Smith for all the great work! ——— If you liked these lessons, you’ll love my free weekly newsletter. Every Saturday, I share actionable tips and success stories to master the circular economy. Subscribe to The Loop here: https://lnkd.in/eDndqPEv #circulareconomy #climatechange #sustainability

At Toling, we embrace the 'Design for the End of Use' approach, believing that a sustainable supply chain and circular economy benefit not only consumers but also brand owners and manufacturers. 💫 We see it as our responsibility to drive innovative transitions that reduce environmental impact. 🌱 Together, let's shape a better, more sustainable future for everyone. 🍃 #TolingSustainability #Tolingsupplychain #CircularEconomy #ResponsibleInnovation

The 5 sustainability points are real lessons. What an amazing reflection!

💡 5 Key Sustainability Lessons for Everyone 🌍 1️⃣ Design for the end of use - Not the end of life 🔄 - We need objects with infinite utility, with the lowest possible impacts during their entire lifecycle ♾️ 2️⃣ Forget ‘net zero’ - Stop being less bad 🚫 - Focus on REGENERATION 💚 3️⃣ Offsets are scary - Offsetting CO2 is a dead end ⚠️ - Let’s inset instead (offsetting within your own supply chain) 🌱 4️⃣ Start with values, not targets Values ➡ Vision ➡ Strategy ➡ KPIs 💬 (not the other way around) 5️⃣ It’s not hard to abate - It’s hard to stop, think, and design 🛠 - So let’s go ahead and do it! 💪 Which one is your favorite? 🌱👇 #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #NetPositive #ClimateAction #EcoDesign #GreenInnovation #ValuesDriven #CO2Reduction

🌱The International Living Future Institute’s 2023 Annual Impact Report has just been released, highlighting the significant contributions ILFI has made throughout the year towards the future we’re all working towards: socially just, culturally rich and ecologically restorative communities🌱 The report covers successes from across the globe, featuring projects from sustainable homes to innovative corporate spaces. There are so many inspiring stories to read through, including features on: 🌳 Healthy Products for Healthy Buildings 🌳  Social Equity in the Building Industry 🌳  Climate Resilience in the Built Environment 🌳  Regenerative Design in Critical Buildings Some highlights include: 💚 Achieving the Materials Petal in October 2023, Google’s Gradient Canopy is the largest LBC certified project. The project team engaged hundreds of manufacturers to review 8,000+ products and ensure that every material installed complied with LBC’s Red List. 💚 Published 347 new Declare labels (record high): 🌟Supported 370 manufacturers to publicly disclose ingredient information on 1,325 Declare labels representing some 16k products across 25 CSI divisions. Labels were screened against the LBC Red List, representing 19 chemical classes and 11,000+ individual compounds, and 88% were designated as Red List Free or Approved. 🌟Continuing a trend of strong growth, ILFI published a record-setting 347 new labels, including the participation of 80 new clients. 💚 Certified 20 building projects, including our very own Unison Networks Ltd's Windsor Substation, which achieved LBC’s Energy Petal and aims to inspire and shift the market towards resilient, community-focused infrastructure, is featured as a project. It publicly shared its design and powered its community during the major cyclone in early 2023.  You can view the full report here: https://lnkd.in/gqyz22nh #LivingBuildingChallenge #SustainableDesign #BuildingTheFuture #TriciaLoveConsultants #GreenFuture
