Now that summer has come back around we were thrilled to be hosting our 100% organic bouquet PR event at The Unbound. Together with press and influencers we had a delicious lunch and learn about organic flowers with our Director of Sustainability Sibbe Krol and organic flower grower Marjolein. Following this, The Pollinators led an interactive educational workshop, to create a bee hotel for our pollinating insects.

Transforming Businesses with Strategic Partnerships & Alliances, Disruptive Solutions, and Ecosystem Led Growth (Opinions expressed here are my own)
Who thought snacking on chocolate could help clean up our oceans? But will this idea really work? Every time you enjoy a bar of Endangered Species Chocolate, you’re pitched that you are contributing to ocean cleanup efforts. The partnership between 4ocean and Endangered Species Chocolate merges a love for indulgent, ethical chocolate with a commitment to ocean health. However, can such a unique collaboration truly attract consumers who see these brands as inhabiting very different spaces? How effective can this partnership be in rallying consumers around both causes? Will the dual branding of ocean conservation and chocolate indulgence create a stronger impact, or might it dilute the focus of each brand’s core mission? This alliance certainly highlights the innovative ways companies can link consumer behavior with environmental activism. Yet, the success of such a partnership hinges on the leadership’s ability to seamlessly integrate these distinct brand missions and on their ability to communicate a cohesive message that resonates with both chocolate lovers and environmental advocates. Reflect on the practicality of merging such diverse brand identities. Do you believe consumers are ready to support such cross-industry collaborations, or is the market not quite there yet? What other product partnerships do you think could similarly inspire consumer participation in broader causes? Share your thoughts and let’s explore the effectiveness of such unconventional alliances. 4ocean PBC Endangered Species Chocolate

🌏 Earth Day, celebrated annually on April 22 for over five decades, underscores the importance of environmental protection and planetary health. 🔦 So today, we spotlight selected Bemakers brand partners who have taken proactive steps to minimize their climate impact. ⚗ Arbikie Highland Estate transformed their distillery into a laboratory, driven by a commitment to our air, water and soil. Through extensive research, they discovered a groundbreaking solution: the pea. Unlike traditional ingredients like wheat or barley, peas capture all the nitrogen from the air and enrich the soil through their roots, making them a climate-positive choice. 🌱 Arbikie's Nàdar duo, meaning 'nature' in Gaelic, embodies the harmony of nature and science, crafting the world's first climate-positive spirits. Designed with the natural world in mind, Nàdar symbolizes the transformative power of sustainable innovation. 👉🏾 https://lnkd.in/ei5GR8dy & https://lnkd.in/d8S5fyrg 🍺 Gallia has undertaken extensive testing to create a program that benefits both the brewery, the consumers and the planet. Recognizing that packaging contributes significantly to their carbon footprint, they shifted their focus to reuse ♻ By opting for reusable glass bottles instead of single-use ones, Gallia saves water, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and conserves electricity. Their commitment actively encourage consumers to return bottles for reuse, championing sustainability on a broader scale. 👉🏾 https://lnkd.in/dN5NJ6V3 Feragaia aims to reconnect consumers with the Wild Earth through its radically authentic alcohol-free spirit. Their social and environmental policies are substantial and crafted to ensure long-term sustainability. With clearly defined KPIs, Feragaia monitors and manages their progress towards environmental and social goals. 🌾 Through investments in seaweed cultivation, adoption of low-impact, completely chemical-free production methods, and prioritization of eco-friendly logistics, Feragaia is dedicated to making a positive impact on the planet. 👉🏾 https://lnkd.in/dyRgHbpa #earthday #bemakers #brandpartners

Stantec will be presenting this tasty, women-made cider tonight at the 2024 WRISE & Wine Tasting and Fundraiser! Hope to see you there. Name: Eris Pedestrian Cider Origin: Old Irving Park, Chicago, IL Co-Owners: Michelle Foik and Katy Pizza Fun local fact: First women-owned brewery in Illinois Alcohol Content: 5.6% Sustainability Practices: A former Masonic Temple was transformed into Eris Brewery and Ciderhouse, earning the owners a local preservation award. • Reclaimed radiators were repurposed as railings, church stove grates became lighting over the new kitchen. • Utilizes a unique geothermal heating and cooling system that integrates the building with the brewing process equipment to capture and reuse waste energy for heat and hot water. This system results in an estimated 49% annual carbon footprint reduction. • ComEd energy efficiency grant helped implement efficiency strategies exceeding code requirements, including a super insulated building envelop with extremely efficient windows. These measures alone result in an estimated 21% annual electricity savings and a 16% annual natural gas savings. Tasting notes: Semi-dry cider with a green gold hue. Apple-forward with wine-like aromas. Crisp with flavors of ripe apple with a slight, dry finish. For the tenth year, our event will feature sustainably produced wines — and one beer, cider and non-alcoholic beverage — all made with renewable energy by woman winemakers, brewers and vineyard owners. Paired with the beverages will be small bites and unbeatable networking, all for a good cause! Proceeds from this event will benefit the programs of Women in Renewable Industries and Sustainable Energy (WRISE), including funding of fellowships awarded to women preparing for a career in wind or solar energy, and local WRISE Chicago programming. #WRISEWine #WRISEandWine #winetasting #WRISEChicago #womeninenergy #womeninrenewableenergy #womenintech #womeninengineering #womeninleadership #womeninstem #womenofsolar #womenofwind #solarenergy #windenergy #solarpower #windpower #empoweredwomen #empoweringwomen #sustainability

September salutations! The ninth month of our Organic ’24 has sped in, complicated by a beach sidetrip plus holiday weekend distractions which have once again conspired to slide this post past the first. The fact that September has a such a substantial slew of celebratory nature-related days, birth dates, and such—so many that we had to leave out a few—took a plenty of extra labor too. Luckily for you we didn’t have the bandwidth to precede the celebratory stuff with some schoolin’ about organics (it’s Organic September, well, in the UK) now that harvest time and back-to-school is upon us. So many green heroes, so little time. September’s diverse sampling of inspiring conservationists’ birthdays includes brave people who stood up to the status quo, with three who have literally risked their lives to make this planet a better place. Please peruse the mini bios we’ve compiled here: https://conta.cc/3ylSDgH. You might just learn something and be inspired—without going to school. And you won’t even be tested on it! What will you do to make your September sojurn more sustainable?

Founder at Vegbed® | Helping indoor farms "grow" more sustainably | Microgreens | Subtrates | Vertical Farming
Great panel from these titans of industry. Some takeaways: Indoor/vertical farms can't continue to push the narratives that brought it into light years ago. Customers care about quality, consistency and price. Using energy efficient LEDS, 90% less water usage, etc... is not a value prop for the consumer and retailer anymore.
We want to hear from our community attending Indoor Ag-Con. Let us know your key takeaway from this keynote. Dan Malech, Plenty® Jim DiMenna, Red Sun Farms Viraj Puri, Gotham Greens Soli Organic

It's International Compost Awareness Week. I don't know if you compost but I have started and I feel like I'm always learning something new. I'm an avid gardener of flowers and herbs (I'll be showing some of the photos during the summer months. I have 10 garden beds on the property of flowers and herbs) and my soil took a while to get that deep, rich, dark brown to black look because I would throw crumbled eggshells, coffee grounds (I like to grind my own beans because the smell and taste are ahhhh), Epsom salt and sometimes crunched baby aspirin around my plants to enrich the soil with valuable nutrients. It worked. I now typically split many plants and herbs every 2 - 3 years because they grow so big! Something new I learned today about composting. My neighbor stopped by on her walk this morning and told me she's experimenting with compost worms. Yes, there is such a thing as COMPOST WORMS! I'm currently doing research to order a compost tumbler. If anyone has suggestions or tips to share about composting and tumblers, let me know. You know I'm going to try those compost works once I get that tumbler setup because I want to get a good partner to the earth 🌍 😀. Happy composting! #environment #compost International Compost Awareness Week - ICAW USA #regeneration #sustainability #gardening #compostawarenessweek ****************** At BGoodPartners (BGP), we work with organizations to align their sustainability and impact practices with a focus on Community Engagement, Operational Integrity and Corporate Governance as they navigate their ESG or SDG journeys. We also aid in enhancing existing strengths for strategic improvements. It's all about being a good partner with #BGoodPartners.

Love Built - WOW! Wednesday Painterland Sisters - 4th Gen Regen Two sisters, Hayley and Stephanie, are painting a vibrant picture of farming's past, and of its future; their canvas, the verdant pastures of Pennsylvania. Their tool of choice? Organic, regenerative agriculture. A fourth-generation family farm; a regenerative haven. Their mission? To reconnect you, the consumer, with the roots of your food, while revitalizing land, communities, and individuals. Their artistry is expressed in their delicious, wholesome yogurt. Made from the milk of their family farm's happy, pasture-raised cows, it's a tangible testament to their commitment to ethical farming. No herbicides, pesticides, hormones, or antibiotics. Just pure, natural goodness. But the benefits of their work extend beyond the borders of their farm. Organic agriculture has been shown to use 45% less energy and emit 40% fewer carbon emissions than conventional methods. It's a colorful palette of biodiversity, with flowers, insects, and wildlife flourishing. Regenerative agricultures is a technique that enriches the soil, reduces water pollution, sequesters carbon and conserves water. Why choose to consume products born of regenerative agriculture? Because every spoonful of their yogurt is a vote for healthier communities, happier animals, and a more sustainable world. Join the Painterland Sisters on their journey. Experience the joy, beauty, and hard work of farming as it should be. Embrace a future painted in vibrant hues of green. Connect with the source of your food, and taste the difference. So, next time you reach for a tub of yogurt, make it a masterpiece. Your taste buds, and the planet, will thank you.

📣 Students at the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos in Lima, Peru, are taking a stand for their right to vegan options in the dining hall! GABRIELA SANTOS TACURI and Luis Nitai Syam Florian Andrade are suing the university, arguing that the lack of vegan food violates their fundamental rights. This case could pave the way for more sustainable and compassionate food choices across universities in Peru. 🌍 With animal agriculture driving climate change, switching to plant-based meals can make a huge impact. Did you know that replacing just 20% of animal-based protein with quinoa in Peru could cut nearly 1 million tons of CO2 emissions per year? ✨ Let’s make San Marcos a pioneer for plant-based dining in Peru!

Pan-Canadian wine and spirits sector specialist with over two decades experience in the global business development of beverage alcohol. Gastro-diplomat, international wine and spirits writer, educator and judge.
Last week Michelle Bouffard and her small but mighty team staged the 4th and very successful edition of Tasting Climate Change. Held in Montreal over 2 days (with 1 pre-conference day of masterclasses), there were 30 speakers from across the globe and 390 attendees, mostly in person, but some participating online as well. The 13 sessions informed, alarmed and inspired and gave us much food for thought for the future. And it made us thirsty to know more. Here are some of my key takeaways from the conference (part 1). 1. We need to produce less and more sustainably, share more and decide together on solutions to help us navigate the future. (Yves-Marie Abraham PhD, HEC, Université de Montréal). 2. The lack of water in some wine regions is changing the taste of wine, by producing berries with a greater ratio of skins to pulp. Better soil health through less tilling and soil compaction leads to more organic matter, less erosion and better water retention. (Marc-André SELOSSE PhD, Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle of Paris) 3. Rather than focusing only on planting new varieties in the face of climate change, we can increase biodiversity through inter-varietal selection and planting different clones of existing varieties, instead of using the same and limited number of clones (Etienne Neethling PhD, École Supérieure des Agricultures of Angers). 4. Research experiments from Hochschule Geisenheim University FACE (Free Air Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Enrichment) experiments have shown that CO2 emissions have led to increased evidence of fungal diseases in vines. 5. Forty percent of a wine’s carbon footprint comes from packaging, with single use glass bottles responsible for much of this. Jason Haas of Tablas Creek believes consumers should be given more credit and are more open to change and alternative packaging than wineries think, citing the example of how Tablas Creek’s first three litre bag in box premium rose, priced at US$95, sold out in four hours. 6. While organic and biodynamic vineyard practices have positive environmental aspects, regenerative agriculture and farming practices has a greater potential to sequestrate more CO2 emissions and could be the key to a healthier future.
