On Thursday 26 March, Rathbone Greenbank’s senior ethical, sustainable and impact researcher, Sophie Lawrence, participated as a strategy thought partner in Ashoka’s Climate Change Globalizer Summit. The summit was designed to support 12 international Ashoka Fellows working on diverse solutions to climate change and sustainability issues.
We interviewed Darren Moorcroft, chief executive of the Woodland Trust, asking him questions ranging from how the Woodland Trust is helping to address the issues around climate change, to the role business can play in protecting woodland ecosystems in the UK.
Rathbone Greenbank was delighted to support the 2019 Durrell Lecture, held on 21 November 2019 at the Royal Institution in London. This year’s theme was ‘Rewilding Forests’ and included both the ecological importance of forests as well as the positive impact they have on our physical and mental well-being.
