impact of greenhouse gases and teaches us how our actions now, can impact our futures. I would say it is beneficial as it makes you think about what changes you can make as an individual to help reduce climate change.” What’s next for Ellard? Ellard, alongside the rest of the Indutrade group and numerous other companies, is working to become and maintain a Carbon Literate Organisation. A Carbon Literate Organisation accreditation requires organisations to positively engage with their audience or community in developing and delivering low-carbon behaviour, supporting the recruitment, retention, and development of a Carbon Literate workforce. As of last year, they became a Bronze accredited Carbon Literate Organisation, and are determined to progress on this journey and continue the important conversations around Carbon Literacy. The ESG team is now working hard to become a Silver-accredited Carbon Literate Organisation and ensure that Carbon Literacy is embedded in Ellard’s core values. Catherine Lockett, the Head of Human Resources and ESG Sponsor, is part of the team striving to obtain Ellard’s Silver accreditation. We spoke with her to understand the significance of pursuing this path. Catherine Lockett said: “At Ellard, we’re well on the way to everyone having spent time thinking about the effects of greenhouse gases on our world, and opportunities for decarbonisation in some depth. We think that it’s vital that we embed our position through sharing learning with others - businesses within the wider Indutrade UK Business Area, our suppliers, customers, and partners in our local community. Decarbonisation should become part of everyone’s everyday language, and we are keen to play a part in that.” Catherine concluded: “At Ellard, we are proud to be among the 100+ Carbon Literate organisations dedicated to raising awareness and taking action against climate change. Through this fundamental understanding, we are committed to making a positive impact and continuing on this journey towards a better world”. www.ellard.co.uk Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk Industry News
