At SimScale, we believe it is important to put on the table topics that, while not directly related to our operations, are part of relevant aspects of everyday life, not only in the present but also in the future.
In particular, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) work requires, as an essential measure, the ability to provide access to information, align with the best practices developed worldwide, and open the debate to seek solutions to current and future problems.
In this spirit, every year we select a highly relevant ESG topic and use it as a starting point for open conversations across our usual communication channels.
This year, we internally defined May as Circular Economy Month. This decision coincides with the fact that a significant number of global events on this topic took place precisely in this month.
Through our Circular Economy Month, we set out to achieve three concrete objectives:
Consolidating and sharing relevant information
Each week, we published and shared with all team members articles covering topics ranging from global circular economy goals and models, case studies, and references to local initiatives, to key national legislations and the latest circularity statistics.
Promoting circularity
We opened internal channels for the private sale/exchange of items so that team members could give a second life to objects they no longer use. At the same time, we continued promoting recycling measures and are currently organizing our second e-waste recycling event.
Learning from best practices
For the ESG team leading this project, this initiative was a valuable opportunity to become familiar with the best circularity practices implemented by other companies, which will begin to form part of our own package of future initiatives.
The Future of ESG at SimScale
Circular Economy Month may be over, but our commitment continues. The insights gained this May will serve as the foundation for future ESG initiatives, ensuring that circularity remains embedded in the way we work.
