Business Bites: Environmental Sustainability

Our June Business Bites event was on the topic of environmental sustainability.

  • Theme: Environmental Sustainability
  • Where: Online – via Zoom
  • When: Wednesday 26th June 2024, 12.30pm – 13.30pm

Last year, we hosted a Business Bites event on Environmental Sustainability. Alexandra Wade from the London Metropolitan Archive presented on the work being carried out at LMA in this area, covering initiatives like circular economy and passive control and the effect these had had on the carbon footprint of LMA.

 

Alex is back with this webinar to talk about the work LMA has done over the past year to decrease their environmental impact further.
In addition, the ARA Environmental Sustainability Group will be joining us represented by Dr Alasdair Bachell. The ARA Environmental Sustainability Group launched on Earth Day 2022 to advocate for environmental sustainability in the record-keeping sector and to provide the tools and resources to help members enact this professional duty to the environment. This talk will give an overview of the group’s activities and achievements since its inception, and outline some of its plans for the future.

 

Speakers will be:
