Oxford

WHAT WE DO Together, we’re building an Oxfordshire with resilient and empowered communities, so that people and planet can thrive within ecological limits. Started in 2001, the network is the largest of its kind in the UK. Our member groups work in their local communities organising events and projects to take action on issues including waste, transport, food, energy, biodiversity and social justice. Groups working on similar themes come together as part of our collaborate groups, working with other associated, like-minded groups and organisations to find ways to share skills and experience and to work together on common goals. At CAG Oxfordshire we offer support, advice and expertise to help everyone work together.

Riverford Field Kitchen

Buckfastleigh

We don't just grow veg. Being an organic farm means we actively encourage biodiversity. There is up to 50% more wildlife on organic farms, made up of 30% species and around 75% more wild bee. Our head gardener Penny is as passionate about organic blooms as she is veg. She grows flowers in the garden to attract the pollinating wildlife and to decorate the restaurant tables and walls. It also adds a bit of colour to the veg patch which can otherwise be very green. Many of the flowers also end up on the menu as we grow an edible flower garden too. We run workshops in the garden through Spring and Summer on how to grow your own cutting patch, how to create beautiful summer bloom arrangements and even dried flower wreaths.

A warm welcome to our website visitors! Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors allow businesses to measure the sustainability credentials and the corporate impacts of an investment, typically through benchmarking of non-financial performance against peers. In an evolving context where stakeholders become even more important than shareholders, ESG unveils the integrated value of an asset, beyond its short-term financial performance, based on the associated environmental and social impacts and outcomes. This concept is not new. In the 1990s the industry used to refer to it as the "triple bottom line" (i.e. People, Planet and Profit) as opposed to the "single bottom line" represented by the figure usually recorded in traditional business accounting at the end of a profit and loss statement. Now, pushed by threats such as climate change and biodiversity collapse along with the rising influence of Generation Y ("Millennials") who expect more environmental and social responsibility from the companies they work for and buy from, investment managers have decisively turned their undivided attention to ESG and sustainable developments that allow not just the economy, but also the society and the environment to thrive.
