International Day of Forests

RHG Consult, a B Corp celebrating International Day of Forests

The theme for this years International Day of Forests celebrated on 21^st March is “Forests and Food“, recognising the fundamental role of forests in food, nutrition and livelihoods, as they not only provide food, fuel, income and jobs, but also soil fertility, and are home to a variety of animal species that support biodiversity.

As a B Corp RHG ensures our operations have minimal impact on forests, reflected in our advocacy for certifications like the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), which supports responsible forest management and helps protect vital ecosystems.

RHG is a virtual training provider, committed to reducing our carbon footprint, minimising waste, and reducing paper consumption. These actions contribute to the overall health of the environment and help mitigate climate change, which has a direct impact on forests.

The importance of sustainable practices and environmental responsibility is embedded into all our training programmes, and we seek to educate and encourage our learners and their employers into incorporating responsible, ethical and sustainable practices into their business models from supply chain management to environmental impact assessments.
