    The global HR team have been busy rolling out a workshop for line managers – People Empowerment for People Managers. In line with the Colart Way, the purpose of the workshop is for line managers to be aware of, understand and have the skills needed to be the best possible leaders they can be. Feedback from the sessions has been excellent with many asking for further workshops. Thanks to all the participants – here are a few 🙂

    Good  morning to all our colleagues at Colart,  wishing everyone  a happy, healthy day.  This week is Mental Health Awareness Week and to mark it,  in Kidderminster we’ve been moving a positivity board around the site, inviting our colleagues to leave their favourite quote to help lift and lighten the heart.    Mental Health Foundation has chosen anxiety as their theme this year, which we also embraced and we were delighted to meet our new CEO, Romain, on Wednesday right in the middle of this poignant week.   We really did put Romain on the spot though by inviting him to add his own quote, much to our delight he enthusiastically added  his own inspiring words.  In the photo, Site Manager Shane is adding his thoughts too.   

    While some of the quotes bring a smile, others have provided a more serious opportunity to have a couple of contemplative moments, quietly reflecting and maybe just helping to ease someone’s anxiety.  This final thought taken from the Mental Health Foundation website, “it’s important to recognise and respond when we feel anxious, so that our anxiety doesn’t become overwhelming.”

Creating Impact Tip
Millions of tonnes of clothing, shoes and other textiles end up in landfill every year because very little is sent for recycling .

“The current fashion system uses high volumes of non-renewable resources, including petroleum, extracted to produce clothes that are often used only for a short period of time, after which the materials are largely lost to landfill or incineration. “This system puts pressure on valuable resources such as water, pollutes the environment and degrades ecosystems in addition to creating societal impacts on a global scale.” There are good reasons to seek out alternatives to chucking clothes in the bin – globally the fashion industry is responsible for 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions, with textile production alone is estimated to release 1.2 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere every year. Vast amounts of water are also needed to produce the clothes we wear too and the fashion industry is responsible for 20% of global waste water.  At the same time we are buying more clothes than ever – the average consumer now buys 60% more clothing than they did 15 years ago. More than two tonnes of clothing are bought each minute in the UK, more than any other country in Europe. Globally, around 56 million tonnes of clothing are bought each year, and this is expected to rise to 93 million tonnes by 2030 and 160 million tonnes by 2050.

"Reuse. Recycle. Rethink — your clothes deserve a second life, not a landfill."
