38 min - Taking action with Climate Springboard
Businesses of all sizes, and particularly small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), should be supported in their efforts to cut carbon emissions as this is good for their bottom line, as well as being of benefit to the environment.
Participants in the latest Scotsman Sustainable Scotland podcast, in partnership with Royal Bank of Scotland, explained how taking action now to reach net zero can give businesses a boost in several ways.
Judith Cruickshank, managing director of the commercial bank at Royal Bank of Scotland and the climate sponsor for the commercial bank across NatWest group, along with Dave Reay, professor of carbon management and education at the University of Edinburgh, and director of Edinburgh Climate Change Institute at the University of Edinburgh, discussed the ways in which businesses can be more sustainable.

25 min - Helping disabled people move to electric vehicles - with Motability Operations
With a UK-wide ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars scheduled for 2030, along with the 2045 target to reach net zero carbon emissions in Scotland, the climate change challenge remains at the top of the agenda.
But for disabled people, and their families, the green transport transition raises particular challenges, from the in-accessibility of charging points to a lack of suitable electric vehicle (EV) options. One organisation working with disabled people, car manufactures and other stakeholders to support this switch is Motability Operations. The company runs the Motability car, powered wheelchair and scooter scheme and has just under 70,000 customers across Scotland.
