   In this third webinar in our Feedback Series, we were joined by Texo’s Rebecca Rainbow, Group HSEQ Manager, who shared her company’s learnings and findings on its Net Zero journey to date. Texo’s first step in its environmental journey is becoming a Carbon Neutral Business. Working with Carbon Neutral Britain, they have calculated and offset their carbon emissions produced directly and indirectly from their activities. They are now working on a range of initiatives to reduce, and eventually eliminate, the carbon emissions they produce.

   Event description

   In our last webinar, we presented a process, using lean thinking tools, that can be used to develop a Net Zero roadmap. We focused on Scottish Engineering’s own roadmap, stating our ambition to be Net Zero by 2045 at the latest in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.

   Having defined our ambition, we now need to identify solutions to get us there. We described how we identified these potential solutions and the design thinking tools we used, including dos and don’ts, tips and tricks, tools that can be used by any organisation of any size.

   4Ds: discover your innovation, define your opportunities, develop your skills, deliver your roadmap

   As introduced during our previous webinar on the 2021 programme, which was designed around each chapter of the Scottish Government Climate Change Plan (CCP), we have now published the consolidated Ds of the double diamond methodology used for all the chapters. If you want to catch up with what we’ve covered so far in our Net Zero Skills Support Programme throughout 2021, then these PDF slick decks are the perfect place to start! Click on each “D” below to explore the relevant slide deck.

    

   • Discover – Innovations: this is a list of all the innovations presented in 2021 for all 8 chapters that can be used to inspire, to define ambitions, and develop a vision or pivot towards sustainability.
   • Define – Opportunities: this is a list of all the opportunities presented in 2021 for all 8 chapters that can be used to identify opportunities to leverage innovations in Scotland and further afield.
   • Develop – Skills: having articulated a vision and identified the opportunities, it is likely that new skills will be required to deliver that vision and leverage that opportunity. This summarised where and how these skills could be gained across all 8 chapters of the CCP(OSF model).
   • Deliver – Roadmap: You have ambitions, you have identified opportunities, you know the skills you will need to leverage these opportunities and implement this vision, it is now time to deliver. This is a consolidation of all the examples and means to develop and fund a roadmap presented during the 2021 programme.

   Event description

   In this session, our Net Zero Skills project lead, Dr. Eric Boinard guides us through the main standards available to develop and verify a net zero roadmap. At ScotEng, we understand that net zero can sometimes feel like a daunting prospect, that’s why we’re here to help break down the information into an easy-to-follow format to establish a better understanding. With so many standards to choose from, this session helps create a clearer picture of which standards are right for your business and where to start. This webinar is ideal for anyone working out how they will steer a path to net zero, but carries extra relevance to those who currently manage their organisation’s management systems and external accreditation
