Today, we’ve published our second annual Impact Report, which demonstrates how embedded sustainability is within everything we do at MPB. Of course, the report is something I am very proud of, but more importantly I think it perfectly embodies and reflects the culture that we have fostered at MPB. Last year our report was 25 pages, this year it is 45. This does not necessarily mean that we are doing more, or that the challenges of keeping focussed on sustainability and measurable impact as you scale, get larger.  It is that the subject of sustainability grows and expands in scope every year, and therefore the opportunity to be more impactful as a business also increases. MPB is not sustainable simply because we are driving the circular economy. And we are not sustainable because we are working towards a net zero target. Everything we do at MPB is tested as to whether it can be done better, with more impact, and in a more sustainable way. This doesn’t just create impact, it also leads to better commercial outcomes too. All of this would not be possible without the consistent hard work, focus and dedication of the MPB team. Thank you all for your continued drive and innovation. And for those who do read the report, I hope you can take some inspiration away for how we can all build better businesses that will endure and ultimately, collectively, create a better future.
