Forbes magazine #cleantech  journalist Marianne Lehnis interviews Betterworld.Solutions founder, AES Engineering MD Chris Rea.

The news that McDonald’s has opened its first UK ‘Net Zero’ restaurant has attracted mixed reviews and accusations of ‘greenwashing’. It has also opened up the debate on the real meaning of carbon neutrality in businesses and the scale of the problem facing the planet. 

Congratulations to Betterworld.Solutions partner Gripple and MD Ed Stubbs, for a stylish and concise presentation of their journey towards Net Zero. 

After the daily reporting on AES Engineering’s #29millionby29 environmental pledge in the run-up to the UN Climate Change Conference, we’ve been taking a pause in order to get up on the roof at Mill Close and down to work elsewhere in our global operations.

As opinions circulate about the achievements, or lack of them, coming from the COP26 climate change conference in Glasgow, it is hard to remain optimistic about the future of the planet and of our children and grandchildren.

Sir David Attenborough’s moving speech to the UN Climate Change conference (COP26) was a triumph of visual oratory that reminds us why he is a global legend.

In his latest video diary on the eve of the UN Climate Change Conference, MD Chris Rea puts the case for truthfulness and ethical behaviour in business and pledges to publish how AES Engineering Group's £29 million by 2029 planet-friendly investment is spent.

The decision by Sheffield City Council to control air pollution caused by traffic in the centre is a welcome first step towards cleaner air for everyone.

In his latest video diary on AES Engineering Group's £29 million by 2029 investment pledge, MD Chris Rea sums up how the money will be spent.

In his latest video diary on AES Engineering Group's 29millionby29 investment pledge, MD Chris Rea looks at the challenge of persuading suppliers to cut their Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. 

There was a joke circulating earlier that the other, more famous and more tuneful Chris Rea, won’t be driving home for Christmas this year because of fuel shortages.

As part of AES Engineering’s 29millionby29 investment pledge, we have been looking at the economics and benefits of investing in solar farms.

AES Engineering MD Chris Rea is predicting Net Zero for the global group in 2021 as a result of the latest developments in the company’s £29 million by 29 investment pledge.

Battery storage is sometimes overlooked, but there is a strong argument for saying that it is currently one of the best choices for cutting energy waste in a sustainable manner, while also providing back-up in case of power cuts, and cutting energy bills.

AES Engineering’s £29 million by 29 investment pledge continues to take the lion’s share of my attention right now but I cannot resist taking time out to spotlight some work under way by two Betterworld.Solutions partners - the Engineering Technology Group (ETG), a leading supplier of advanced machine tools and robotics, and Powerstar, which specialises in energy-saving technology such as super-efficient transformers.

Wish you were here? AES Engineering’s #29millionby29 investment pledge involves some interesting actions both on the roof, in the ground, at ‘home’ in Rotherham and overseas in the global operations.

In a previous article, 'What the Scope is that?', I explained the different emission scopes that need to be calculated on the race to Net Zero, drawing on the experience of AESSEAL, which was one of the first major UK engineering companies to reach that standard and go beyond.

As a business, AES Engineering Ltd. and out main UK manufacturing company, AESSEAL are often asked to describe the journey to achieving Net Zero and shed some light on the sometimes confusing terminology of the different emission 'Scope's' that have to be taken into account, controlled, minimised or offset.

With time running out for the planet and the UN Climate Change Conference just weeks away, AES Engineering Ltd Group is making an historic commitment to £29 million of planet-friendly investment by 2029 in order to go beyond Net Zero for its global business.

AESSEAL’s vision – and the vision of the Betterworld.Solutions project – is to find ways of making industry and the environment live in harmony

The latest news that the Amazon rainforest has turned into a net carbon producer should be a call for action for everyone interested in the future of this planet.

AESSEAL's contribution to the Laptops for Kids initiative was singled out for praise in a House of Commons debate on the easing of Covid-19 restrictions in educational settings.

A policy to use electric vehicles and support electric vehicle charging points for employees, guests, customers and suppliers is an essential part of any “Investment Policy to Prevent Global Warming”

We need to continue the journey beyond Net Zero, not just at AESSEAL but at every company that has an interest in the future of this planet
