FAQs

Q: What is social value and why is it important?

Social value refers to the broader positive impacts that organisations and activities have on society, beyond just economic value. It includes social, environmental, and economic benefits that enhance the well-being of individuals and communities. It is important because it informs decision-making, ensures compliance with public contracts (PPN 06/20), builds trust with stakeholders, and provides a competitive advantage.

Q: How do I engage my employees?

We’ll work with you to build tailored employee engagement solutions. These may include tree planting days, carbon literacy training, sustainability masterclasses, or capacity-building programmes. Our goal is to ensure employees at all levels are engaged, educated, and empowered to drive positive change.

Q: What is a net zero strategy, and why is it important?

We help you communicate sustainability expectations to your supply chain, encouraging suppliers to reduce their carbon footprints. This can reduce your Scope 3 emissions and contribute to your overall sustainability goals. Our approach includes supplier training, collaboration on sustainable practices, and workshops on implementing carbon reduction strategies.

Introducing the Office Sustainability Swap Box

Welcome to the Sustainability Swap Box A concept box, with simple ideas for you to make small changes, with big impact. At 5D Net Zero, we help businesses cut emissions, costs, and confusion with practical solutions tailored to your business that work for everyone. We often find organisations we speak to see sustainability as abstract (“doesn’t really affect us”), overly complicated (“all these bloody requirements!”) and a cost (“with no benefit”). We often show people that it can be the exact opposite if you go beyond tick box half commitment and focus on the small changes as well as the big ones. The 5D Sustainability Swap Box is a curated collection of everyday office essentials; each carefully chosen for its positive environmental and social impact. Sustainability doesn’t have to be complicated or costly. So, we wanted to capture this in the small stuff, the office everyday items, that might have more impact than you think. What is in the Sustainability Swap Box? We thought we would pinpoint 5 products that help any office improve its impact, that were awesome, and essential. We landed on: Toilet Paper from Who Gives a Cr*p? Hand Soap from Fill Refill
