HH Global Joins the Climate Pledge

Over 100 companies have now signed the #ClimatePledge. We’re thrilled to be one of the first signatories and commit to net-zero carbon by 2040 or sooner.

To coincide with Earth Day 2021, Amazon celebrated the companies that have committed to going further and faster by being signatories of their joint The Climate Pledge initiative, the ambition of which is to foster a connected world where collaboration among leading businesses and organisations can crack the climate crisis, meeting the Paris Agreement 10 years early.

We are extremely proud to announce that HH Global is included amongst the first 100 signatories to join and, in doing so, commit to net-zero carbon by 2040 or sooner. Alongside us are fifty-two new signatories that include existing clients such as Colgate-Palmolive, Heineken, and PepsiCo, as well as many other well-known and respected brands.

Our signing of The Climate Pledge commits us to three areas of action:
*Measure and report greenhouse gas emissions on a regular basis.
*Implement decarbonisation strategies in line with the Paris Agreement through real business changes and innovations, including efficiency improvements, renewable energy, materials reductions, and other carbon emission elimination strategies.
*Neutralise any remaining emissions with additional, quantifiable, real, permanent, and socially beneficial offsets to achieve net-zero annual carbon emissions by 2040—a decade ahead of the Paris Agreement’s goal of 2050.

Our achievement of these ambitious goals is grounded in our ability to provide clients with sustainable services, as well as decarbonising our own operations, As stated in our ‘Innovation with Purpose’ report, HH Global is committed to achieving 100% renewable energy by 2025, and net-zero carbon emissions across our entire value chain by 2035.

Mike Perez, Global CEO, reiterates :“We believe climate change demands urgent action, and as the largest global marketing execution business in the world, we take our climate responsibilities extremely seriously. HH Global is delighted to support the ambitions of The Climate Pledge which so clearly align with our own business objectives and strategy.”

Brazil asks EU to hold off on implementing deforestation law

Brazil on 9/11/24 asked the European Union not to implement regulations in its deforestation law at the end of the year as scheduled and asked for it to be revised to avoid hurting Brazilian exports. In a letter to the European Commission seen by Reuters, the Brazilian government said the law banning the import of products linked to the destruction of the world's forests could affect almost one third of Brazil's exports to the EU. The law passed in 2022 by the European Parliament was adopted in June last year, allowing 18 months for companies to adapt. The law applies to soy, beef, palm oil, coffee, cocoa, rubber, wood and derivatives, including leather and furniture.

New study highlights 10 wellbeing benefits of building with wood

In the developed world, around 90% of our time is spent indoors. In recent times, this has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and wellbeing in indoor environments is more important than ever. We teamed up with the Technical University of Munich to develop a literature review that explores the science behind the wellbeing benefits of building with wood. The new literature review that was developed in partnership with the Technical University of Munich dissects the increasing volume of evidence in this field that proves wood to be a stand apart building material option. The analysis reviews multiple areas of research, such as wood’s ability to reduce stress and boost productivity levels. For example, a study into the wooden waiting room at the National Oncology Institute in Slovakia saw participants experiencing a decrease in cortisol levels by 7.5%, implying a stress-reducing effect1. Similarly, a study conducted in an Austrian school compared student experience in classrooms – one with linoleum floors and plasterboard walls, and one that was wooden. Those in the wooden classroom had significantly lower heart rates and lower perception of stress2.
