Subject: 🌍Earth Day : Our Power, Our Planet! 🌱

Helloooooo thereeee People!


Earth Day is just around the corner, and this year's theme "Our Power, Our Planet" couldn't be more spot on. 🎯 It's all about recognising the incredible impact we can have when we come together to protect our beautiful home. 🏑Whether it's small daily habits or bigger lifestyle shifts, each of us holds the power to make a difference. πŸ’ͺ


The climate crisis might feel overwhelming at times, but remember - we're not in this alone. Across the globe 🌐, millions of people are taking action, from schoolchildren striking for climate justice to communities building sustainable solutions. This collective energy is what Earth Day celebrates - the undeniable force we create when we unite for our planet. 🌍


Here at Imperium Group, we're passionate about doing our bit too. That's why this newsletter is packed with practical tips 🌿. Because when it comes to protecting our planet, every action counts - and together, our power is truly extraordinary. πŸŽ‰

For the full "throne room rulebook," please refer to the attachment. Your nostrils, the cleaning team, and your fellow colleagues will be eternally grateful!

Several media outlets have featured our exclusive gathering at Le Magellan restaurant, highlighting the importance of ESG criteria in transforming investment practices and the valuable insights shared regarding the FSC's recent guidelines.

DID YOU KNOW?

  • Switching to a reusable water bottle saves approximately 156 plastic bottles annually per person! πŸ’§

  • Turning your thermostat down by just 1Β°C can reduce your heating bill by up to 10% whilst cutting your carbon footprint. ❄️

  • A typical car idling for 10 minutes uses as much fuel as it takes to travel 8 kilometres! Switching off your engine when stopped saves both money and emissions. πŸš—

  • Go car-free when possible 🚲 - Did you know that swapping just one car journey a week for walking, cycling or public transport can reduce your carbon footprint by up to 500kg of CO2 a year? Not too shabby!

  • Eating one vegetarian meal per week for a year saves the equivalent greenhouse gases as driving 1,609 kilometres. Plant power! πŸ₯¦

  • Choose refillable products.🧴 Loads of shops now offer refill stations for everything from pasta to shampoo. Bringing your own containers cuts packaging waste brilliantly!

  • Unplugging electronic devices when not in use (rather than leaving them on standby) can help you on your electricity bill. πŸ”Œ

  • Shop secondhand first πŸ‘š. The fashion industry produces about 10% of global carbon emissions! Charity shops and vintage finds give clothes a second life (and often save you a packet).

  • Plant bee-friendly flowers 🐝. Our pollinator mates are having a rough time. Even a window box of lavender, heather or wildflowers can help these crucial creatures thrive.

HAPPENINGS

Perigeum Capital's Eid celebration


Perigeum Capital's Eid celebration brought moments of connection, flavour, and camaraderie. From vibrant conversations to perfectly spiced briyani, the event was rooted in togetherness.

A seamless blend of tradition and modernity, reminding us that shared moments are the essence of a thriving team.

Our sincere gratitude to all guests whose presence made it truly unforgettable

Team Amethyst celebrates Eid in style! πŸŒ™βœ¨


The lovely bunch from Team Amethyst gathered last week for their much-anticipated Eid lunch celebration! πŸŽ‰

The team tucked into some absolutely smashing Briani (we hear it was properly delicious!). There was loads of laughter, plenty of second helpings, and some fantastic team bonding over the feast. 🍽️

February & March birthday celebrations for Team Amethyst! πŸŽ‚


Team Amethyst recently celebrated their February and March birthday stars ! πŸŽ‰

The festivities were properly brilliant with the team gathering to honour their colleagues born in these two months. Everyone enjoyed a fabulous time-sharing laughs, stories, and making wonderful memories together. 🎈

And what's a birthday celebration without something sweet? The team topped off their special day with some absolutely lush brownies served with ice cream! πŸ˜ (We're not jealous at all... honest!)

We hope you had a great time reading us. We're encouraging everyone to try at least one new planet-friendly habit this month. Remember, when it comes to saving our planet, we've got this. Remember, we don't need a handful of people doing sustainability perfectly - we need millions doing it imperfectly!


πŸ’š One small change at a time, together we're making waves. Happy Earth Day, everyone!



Hasta La Vista People ! πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ



Crazily Yours,


The Gazette Committee
