What is Bio-Mimicry? Bio-mimicry, also known as biomimetics, is all about taking inspiration from nature to solve human problems. It's a powerful concept that has found its way into architecture and design.

When it comes to employee benefits, employers often try to provide perks and incentives that they believe will make their employees happy. However, what employers think is important to their employees may not always be the case. This discrepancy is sometimes referred to as the Smoothie Delusion…

As the world grapples with the effects of climate change, industries are increasingly being called upon to mitigate their environmental impact. This is particularly apparent in commercial real estate, where buildings are responsible for significant carbon emissions. In response, the concept of retrofitting, particularly in office interiors, has emerged as a crucial tool in the journey towards net zero carbon emissions…

As our first 12 months of carbon emissions monitoring comes to an end, we take time to reflect on some of the high-level conclusions that we are instantly able to draw…

As we near the end of our first 12 months of monitoring our carbon footprint, and in advance of sharing our first update on our baseline data and our progress so far, we take a moment to reflect on the power of embracing progress over perfection. Climate change presents significant challenges for businesses across industries. It's easy to feel overwhelmed when considering the scale of the problem and the radical changes required to mitigate its effects. However, waiting for the perfect solution is no longer an option. Taking action is what truly matters…

At Fenway, we are using carbon offsetting in the short-term to mitigate carbon production while we establish our baseline scope 1, 2 & 3 data, as mentioned in a previous post. In this post, we shed light on the concept of carbon offsetting and in particular some of it’s advantages and disadvantages for businesses…

The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 interconnected goals that aim to create a more sustainable and equitable world by 2030.
