In this blog, I share my journey from HR at Amazon to leading sustainability engagement across Europe, highlighting the pivotal role that employee-driven initiatives play in creating lasting environmental change. From tackling waste issues on the shopfloor to developing accessible sustainability toolkits, I’ve seen firsthand how empowering people makes a real impact.

For SMEs, Earth Day presents a unique opportunity to engage employees, drive action, and embed sustainability into company culture.
This post explores how businesses can go beyond one-day pledges by making sustainability simple, tying efforts to broader goals, and leveraging Green Teams for year-round impact.

I also touch on cost-effective sustainability actions, the role of SMEs in reducing Scope 3 emissions, and why transparency is becoming a business necessity.

Earth Day is more than just an event—it’s a powerful catalyst for meaningful change. Let’s make it count!
