High profile commentators such as Larry Fink of Blackrock have spoken about the importance of social impact to investors. There’s a lot that can be done, and is being done, but sometimes simple ideas can make a massive change close to home.

Our initiative is reducing scope 3 emissions for our clients because our our local focus and prolonging the life span of items.

Reusing locally via SocialBox.Biz community interest platform is a wonderful way to reduce emissions while helping others and after-all charity starts at home!
