COP27: The UN Climate Change Conference

By Uncategorized No Comments

November 2022 marks the commencement of the 27th official Conference of the Parties’ Climate Summit (COP), held in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt (06th November – 18th November). As world leaders gather in Egypt, the UN Foundation will focus on critical issues ranging from climate finance to ocean and shipping adaptation.

Previous COP Climate Summits have placed an increasing emphasis on the responsibilities of businesses in the face of climate change, and this year’s conference is expected to follow suit. World leaders, representatives from various nations, and interested groups will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with leading companies across multiple industries. Collaboration is critical in shaping the green industrial revolution because change necessitates the coordinated energy, skills, and funds of investors, inventors, employers, consumers, employees, and regulators.

Showcase is conscious of its ethical responsibility to contribute to an improved environment for future generations in the face of a changing landscape of how we live and work. To guide us through this critical Decade of Action, we have recently achieved certification from Planet Mark for our baseline year by reporting our carbon footprint. We are proud to say that we are now certified Carbon Neutral as a company in full compliance with PAS2060. We are thrilled to have involved our stakeholders in the change we have created and to invite them to join us on the journey that our efforts are yet to take us on.

The COP27 will provide valuable insight into innovative technologies and action plans being implemented by nations to combat climate change, which will be revolutionary for Showcase and companies alike in terms of our efforts to tackle climate change.

Planet Mark Year 1 Business Certification

By Uncategorized No Comments

Showcase Interiors are proud to announce that we have achieved the Planet Mark Year 1 Business Certification. This is an incredible achievement involving the entire business.

The Planet Mark Business Certification is an internationally recognised sustainability certification for business acknowledging continuous progress, encouraging action and building an empowered community of like-minded individuals.

In this crucial #DecadeofAction, measuring our own carbon footprint has been a critical step in reducing our impact on the planet and society.

Through Planet Mark we have protected an area of endangered rainforest thanks to Cool Earth; a charity working alongside rainforest communities to halt deforestation. Our pledge through Cool Earth goes directly towards supporting the Asháninka community in Central Peru.

Through our commitment to Planet Mark we are also helping the Eden Project – an educational charity building connections with each other and the living world, exploring how we can work together towards a better future.

We want to continue to have a positive impact through our business and hope that we can empower our community to take climate action. We hope that you will join us in this movement for change.

Each and every one of you has contributed to our achievement in becoming Planet Mark certified, and will continue to play an important role in our sustainability commitment.

We encourage you to get in touch if you have any questions or suggestions you’d like to share with us, or to join us on this exciting journey of sustainability. Together, we are a collective force for good.

Showcase awarded the ISO:45001:2018 certification for Occupational Health and Safety (which was previously assessed as the ISO:18001:2007, held since 2016).

As a business that holds Health and Safety in the highest regard, we simply cannot function without knowing that our staff, clients, and end users are 100% safe during our projects and when using our products. The certification inevitably increases trust in our abilities and assures our clients that we are constantly reviewing the risks and monitoring activities to ensure a consistency of service. We feel that it is crucial in improving the managerial oversight of our functions and analysis of the best ways of working. Our external and internal audits ensure we periodically review all aspects of what we do, helping us to continually improve.

Tis the Season to Give

By Uncategorized No Comments

This year, we are supporting Changing Pathways – an inspirational charity that provides advocacy and support to survivors of domestic abuse.

So, what are we doing to make those survivors feel special?

We are giving them the gift of Christmas!

Our team went Christmas shopping in the city of Cambridge for 28 women and 38 children. We bought games, decorations, advent calendars, and everything you would need for a Christmas party!

The team sparkled as they turned into very busy elves in order to make some very special Christmas wishes come true. We would like to thank the team for their heart-warming thoughtfulness and generosity showcased throughout the event.

Showcase Directors Emma Collings and Nigel Boreham were not surprised to see the whole business pull together and work as a team. These are values they are proud to see in each and every one of their employees.

SHOWCASE – Us We Team

By Uncategorized No Comments

On Friday 3rd December, Showcase Interiors was delighted to hold their End of Year Company Conference at the Clayton Hotel in Cambridge, located near the beautiful Botanic Gardens.

With a somewhat tough 18 months behind them, it was really something to bring the team together in a safe and responsible way.

With 18 new starters joining since our last conference, the senior management team shared the year’s struggles, successes, and gratification for having such a solid team behind the business.

With not a dull slide in sight, it was a fun, informative, and interactive day for all.  Learnings were shared and the businesses objectives and strategies for 2022 revealed.

Important parts of the day were the interactive sessions along with the team build. This year’s team build was centred around supporting Showcase’s chosen charity: Changing Pathways. They are a charity that provides advocacy and support to survivors of domestic abuse, working to empower survivors to find their pathway to a life free of abuse and fear.
