The How of Net Zero with guest: Alex-Begg Group


Net Zero HomeEvents

Event description

Building on the success of our previous webinar series, our final instalment of the Support Series focused on the last two steps of the 5Ws and 2Hs of Net Zero, namely ‘how much’ and ‘share’. In this session we discuss how to manage Net Zero ambitions including offset and how to measure these as well as the efficacity of standards and pledges in communicating progresses.

For this session, we were delighted to be joined by Fiona MacDonald, Sustainability Manager at Alex Begg Group, who shared with us their learnings and findings on their journey to B Corp certification, a standard aimed to use business as a force for good.

With over 150 years of experience, Alex Begg Group is a textile manufacturer that designs and manufactures luxury cashmere knitwear, accessories and homeware for the modern lifestyle with mills in Ayr on the west coast of Scotland and Hawick, in the Scottish Borders. To be a B Corp demonstrates that a business is meeting high standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency in five key areas (Governance, Workers, Environment, Community, and Customers).
