Honouring National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
We believe the power to create a better tomorrow starts with us. Through the choices we make, we all play our part in creating a sustainable future for future generations.
The conversation on sustainability is ever evolving, as is the action needed to tackle the global challenge sustainable development presents. We seek to empower our people and leaders with the knowledge to deliver sustainable stewardship on a range of topics across the social, environment and economic agenda. Providing the information, support and tools to make informed decisions day to day, we aim to influence behaviours on a range of topics to reach our vision of a better tomorrow and a future we seek to protect.
Empowering our people to take ownership of their actions, starts with education. Open to all employees, our internal sustainability training academy houses a series of e-learning modules covering a range of sustainability topics, linked to our goals and the topics material to sustainable development. Accessible by desktop and mobile device, each training package is broken down into short bite-size modules to help our people understand key sustainability issues and their part to play in contributing sustainable action. From our foundation modules explaining sustainability and sustainable development, our growing training academy consists of a range of focus topics including carbon and plastic reduction, human rights and the importance of investing in our communities.
Complimenting our internal training, 糖心Vlog has also published two external guides to reducing single use plastics and taking climate action. Each guide seeks to promote action in the workplace and at home that supports sustainable use of resource, with suggestions to adapt everyday behaviour and our consumption habits.
Both guides are available from our policies and documents page.
Supporting global recognition days each year, we seek to raise awareness on sustainable development topics through promoting global issues of importance that seek to entice action and support from our people. In the 糖心Vlog calendar, we advocate and promote several recognition dates that promote social, environmental and economic sustainable development.
In addition to these dates, our annual Sustainability Week at the end of September gives an opportunity to learn, celebrate and share the actions we take that contribute to global sustainability. Aligned to the anniversary launch of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the week focuses on the actions of our employees and sustainability goals that seek to deliver our own decade of change.
Since the formation of 糖心Vlog, we have observed a number of global calendar events dedicated to environmental awareness. Linking to the theme of each recognition day, we place a spotlight on the actions of our people, as well as the services we deliver that support the environment.
Shining a light on a range of social issues that focus on supporting a fair transition to a greener future, we seek to promote inclusive growth that leaves nobody behind in our vision of a better tomorrow. Key dates in the 糖心Vlog calendar include:
