In recent weeks, our community has witnessed troubling riots that have shaken the very foundations of our society. As the founder of True Green Energy, I feel compelled to address these events, not only as a business leader but as a member of the community. The unrest serves as a stark reminder that we must confront systemic issues such as racism and social inequality with urgency and resolve.

At True Green Energy, our commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles drives everything we do. We believe that a truly sustainable future cannot be achieved without addressing the social injustices that plague our society. The recent riots underscore the necessity of integrating anti-racism into our sustainability efforts. Environmental sustainability and social justice are not separate issues; they are deeply interconnected.

Racism, social and economic inequality create environments of mistrust and division, which undermine our collective efforts to build a sustainable future. These injustices manifest in numerous ways, from disparities in access to clean energy and green jobs to the disproportionate impact of environmental hazards on marginalised communities. As we work towards a greener future, we must ensure that this transition is inclusive and equitable.

The path to a sustainable future requires us to confront and dismantle the systems of oppression that have long hindered progress. By integrating anti-racism into our ESG framework, True Green Energy aims to lead by example, demonstrating that environmental sustainability and social equity are not mutually exclusive, but rather, mutually reinforcing.

As we navigate these challenging times, let us remember that our strength lies in our unity. By standing together against racism and inequality, we can create a future where both people and the planet thrive. Let us commit to building a world where sustainability and justice go hand in hand, ensuring that no one is left behind in our pursuit of a greener, fairer future.
