Making an Impact: Net Zero Week and Volunteering for a Sustainable Future

Expiry date: 10/07/2023

We’re marking Net Zero week and at Novuna, we believe that creating a sustainable future requires action, commitment, and collaboration. That's why we are proud to be partnered with Hubbub, our Sustainability Charity Partner. In this blog post, we share how 12 of our graduates, accompanied by Gemma Fowles, our Early Careers Manager, embarked on a unique volunteering day with Hubbub.

A day of volunteering for a cleaner River Thames

A group of graduates joined forces with Hubbub to tackle the environmental challenge of cleaning up the River Thames. Aboard the world's first 99% recycled boats, there were ready to make a difference, armed with gloves and grabbers. They set out to remove rubbish and recyclables from the river, contributing to the ongoing efforts to protect and preserve the waterway.

Want to witness the impact our team made? Check out the video below to see first-hand the determination, teamwork, and enthusiasm displayed by our graduates during this memorable volunteering day.

Embracing the chance to make a difference

At Novuna, we believe that everyone has the power to make a difference. That's why we provide every colleague with a volunteering day each year to support a cause that matters to them. Volunteering not only allows individuals to contribute to meaningful initiatives but also serves as a valuable team-building exercise. The experience our graduates had on the River Thames reinforced the importance of collaboration, communication, and unity when working towards a common goal.

While Net Zero Week may run for just a week, our dedication to achieving a sustainable future continues. every action counts. Net Zero Week serves as a powerful reminder of the urgent need to address climate change and work towards a sustainable future.
