Sustainability Breakfast

Join us for the first of our quarterly sustainability breakfasts at the Barclays Eagle Lab in Discovery Park

The event will be an opportunity to network with likeminded businesses in the area and discuss the sustainability related issues facing the world. We’ll also hear from a range of speakers about what they’re doing in their particular industries, and what sustainable practices you can take away to address your own goals.

A light breakfast will be provided from 8:30am, featuring locally sourced food and drink.

 

Speaker Profiles:

Martin White:

Four years ago under lockdown, and as part of his personal journey towards greater self-awareness of the environment and climate change, Martin founded his own sustainability consultancy Green Business Hub.

Martin now advises a diverse range of private and public sector clients on their ESG strategy, encouraging them to think more holistically about sustainability rather than solely focusing on climate action and ‘Net Zero’ – because they have to – to include alignment with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and increasingly ‘Social Value Add’ frameworks.

 

Andrew Pledger:

Andrew is the Ecosystem Manager at Barclays Eagle Labs in Discovery Park. The Eagle Labs mission is to connect the UK’s entrepreneurial ecosystem through a network of business incubators, expertise and support. With access to over 325 years of business expertise and connections, Eagle Labs are a community resource available for everybody.

Sustainability Breakfast

Join Green Business Hub for their next quarterly sustainability networking, co-hosted with Barclays Eagle Lab, Discovery Park, Sandwich.

Enjoy a complimentary breakfast and be inspired by two amazing speakers…

Sergei Panov is Head of HTPEM Product Development at ZeroAvia.

Aviation is the fastest-growing source of greenhouse gas emissions. Today’s aircraft engines emit substances in addition to CO2 that double or even triple aviation’s climate impact! NOx, contrails, and particulates have a specific warming effect of their own. Non-carbon emissions are thought to account for around two-thirds of climate impact.
The Solution: Scalable hydrogen and electric propulsion technologies to drastically reduce environmental harm and lower costs.

ZeroAvia’s mission is a hydrogen-electric, zero-emission powertrain in every aircraft.

From 19-seat regional trips to over 100-seat long-distance flights, ZeroAvia enables scalable, sustainable aviation by replacing conventional engines with hydrogen-electric powertrains.

ZeroAvia are a team of passionate innovators dedicated to bringing safe, zero-emission flight to aviation, with locations in Kemble and London (Discovery Park) in the UK, and Hollister, California.

Beth Janson, Strategic Business Development Manager at Countrystyle Recycling.

Countrystyle Recycling is spearheading a new initiative aimed at reducing landfill waste.

A family-run business based in Kent, Countrystyle has introduced an innovative closed-loop recycling program to tackle the 250,000 tonnes of coffee grounds that end up in landfills annually, contributing to harmful emissions.

Through this program, coffee grounds are repurposed into nutrient-rich fertiliser, providing an eco-friendly solution that supports both environmental sustainability and businesses’ efforts to achieve their green objectives.
