Our Sustainability Group announces £5,000 donation to Project Earth

Sustainability is at the heart of our business and means a great deal to our people. Our sustainability collaboration group selected Project Earth as one of our sustainability charities to support with a £5,000 donation.

Project Earth is an international charity dedicated to discovering, developing and accelerating the environmental innovators of tomorrow. Their mission is built on the belief that young people are one of the world's greatest untapped resources in addressing environmental challenges, and that with the right support, their ideas can help shape a more sustainable future. They are building what is believed to be the world's first global climate accelerator for young people aged 8 – 18. Through mentoring, scientific guidance, AI-powered resources and connections, the charity helps transform promising ideas into opportunities that can make a genuine difference.

Project Earth continues to work closely with participants long after the event, helping them develop their ideas through expert mentoring, technical support and connections with potential partners and investors. The aim is not simply to celebrate innovation, but to help transform exceptional ideas into projects capable of delivering genuine environmental impact.

Becky Parker, Director at Project Earth comments,"It is a great honour for Project Earth to be partnered with Mewburn Ellis. Not only will their generous donation help to fund future Pitch for the Planet showcases, but as more and more brilliant new innovations are showcased and developed we appreciate their valuable advice and expertise."

Eleanor Maciver, our Sustainability Champion, states, "We're delighted to support Project Earth and their inspiring work empowering young people to develop solutions to some of society's biggest challenges. The creativity, ambition and fresh thinking of young innovators will be critical in addressing the environmental issues of the future. Initiatives like Pitch for the Planet create valuable opportunities for talented young people to develop their ideas and confidence, and we're proud to support that journey through both our donation and the experience we can share along the way."
