Welcome to the 2019 tve Global Sustainability Film Awards.

An awful lot has happened since we met here last year. What has been incredible to see over the past 12 months is how younger generations are really stepping up to make the world see that we need to work together to save our planet.

At just 16 years old, Greta Thunberg is leading her peers and making a difference. The tide of change she is leading is remarkable. She began by spending her school days outside the Swedish parliament to call for stronger action on global warming. Soon other students engaged in similar protests in their own communities and started the international school climate strike Main sponsor movement, ‘Fridays for Future.’ Neil Armstrong After Thunberg addressed the 2018 United Nations Climate CEO and chairman, Change Conference, student strikes took place every week Fastflow Group somewhere in the world. In response, politicians have acknowledged the need to focus on climate change.

Businesses are part of both the problem and the solution. We need to be doing all we can to support a sustainability agenda. As we face a planetary emergency, business has a hugely important role to play, not only in building a better world, but also in creating hope that such a world is possible - by showing solutions for what a better future can look like. As responsible business owners we also have to be doing what we can to address social inequality. Many struggle to have even basic essentials, like a home, food, sanitation and clean water. In 2019, this shouldn’t be the case. Businesses need to have this in their focus within their broader sustainability projects.

Global attention to climate change has been incredible over these past 12 months, but so much more is needed. We are here this evening to celebrate and congratulate everyone who has submitted an entry for this year’s awards. You have all recognised the need for change, which provides us with inspiration and hope.

As always, our gratitude goes to the entire team at tve for helping to raise the profile of the sustainability agenda. Tides are rising, our oceans contain too much pollution and we simply cannot fail to recognise the threat and to step up to the challenge. 8.30pm -11pm

TVE advert.indd 2 01/11/2019 16:05:04 TVE advert.indd 3 01/11/2019 16:05:06 the president’s welcome

Jennifer Viccars, Awards president Brand and marketing director, Octopus Group ‘Environmental and sustainability issues are rapidly rising up the public agenda. This means that consumers, especially young ones, are increasingly demanding proof from businesses that they are doing the right thing. And they’re hungry for real solutions to the enormous challenges our planet is facing.

Film is a powerful medium for showing what business is doing to help build a better world. The Global Sustainability Film Awards recognise businesses who are not only working to deliver their core business in a better way, but also communicating that effectively. The winners tonight help us imagine what kind of world we might live in — and show business as a powerful agent of change.

I would like to thank our main sponsor Fastflow Group, our category sponsors, our supporters and volunteers. Enjoy the evening!’ from tve’s chair

Camilla Toulmin, tve chair ‘The 22 short-listed films being celebrated here tonight show the myriad of ways businesses are contributing to building a more sustainable future. From companies finding innovative new uses for their waste to disruptive examples of how we can make our cities more energy efficient and produce food in sustainable ways, the films give us a glimpse of a future world. Solutions to the huge environmental and social problems we face can at times feel intangible, but these films give us much needed, real examples of things that are actually being done now.

I hope everyone here tonight, and everyone who watches the films online, will feel inspired to believe that we can tackle climate change, protect nature and build healthy and prosperous societies, and that business has a crucial role in helping make that happen.’

6 tve Global Sustainability Film Awards 2019 together with Fastflow Group About tve

For 35 years, tve has been helping to build a better future for people and planet through the power of storytelling and film. We hope you will support some of our upcoming projects by making a pledge during tonight’s gala dinner. Visit our website at www.tve.org

PLANET REPORTER Next year, tve will mentor five young, talented filmmakers on five continents, helping them produce short, broadcast quality films aimed at a youth audience for distribution online, through media partners and at major global summits planned in 2020. In each story, a young reporter will confront an environmental challenge facing their community and then search out locally-relevant solutions and opportunities. PLANET REPORTER will give young people a voice at global summits throughout 2020 where leaders will be making important decisions about how to stop the worst impacts of climate change, protect our planet’s biodiversity, and build a just and sustainable world.

MILLENNIALS From the favelas of Rio de Janeiro to a depressed former coal town in the UK, from the booming Chinese city of Guangzhou to the lawless drylands of Northern Kenya, we have followed the lives of 11 children in ten countries, all born in 1992, the year of the Rio Earth Summit – when global leaders first united to pledge action to save the Earth. tve is in the early stages of developing a feature- length documentary and global engagement project, Millennials, based on this unique archive of footage. Fronted by a well-known presenter, the documentary will be the definitive story of the generation that is inheriting our broken planet and the powerful forces that shaped them. The film will be released in 2022, to mark 30 years on from the Rio Earth Summit and tve will use the film as part of a global youth engagement campaign, empowering young people to shape the future world they want to live in.

Infrastructures for the future award sponsor: Azad Ayub

Azad Ayub, founder of the London-based property management company, Azad Ayub Limited, brings his passion for future- proof design to the 2019 tve Global Sustainability Film Awards supporting the category, Infrastructures for the Future. The award highlights the need to build all new infrastructure to the highest sustainability standards to meet the challenges of the future.

Formerly a senior civil and structural engineer at Freeman Fox and Partners, Azad is passionate that both large scale infrastructure projects and local-level residential development should prioritise sustainability in their design and function.

He says, ‘From Dubai to Dallas, from Sydney to Singapore, developed infrastructure is the cornerstone for future development, and effective infrastructure leads to prolonged and sustainable development.’

Azad founded his property management business in 1980 with a commitment to sustainability, winning the biennial Best Green Landlord award three times between 2012 – 2016 and the Best Student Landlord award in 2019.

‘Sustainability and equality are central to our company’s values,’ says Azad, whose company provides accommodation to a wide range of families, students, young professionals and other clients in London.

The company comprises a 20-strong team that manages and maintains these properties. ‘Our longevity in the sector enables us to provide continuity to our tenants, landlords and staff,’ says Azad.

‘Those values are to provide good services to everybody, which means maintaining our properties to a very high standard,’ says Azad, who also directly supports education and poverty alleviation projects at home and abroad. ‘After all, caring for the environment can often start close to home, if not at home.’

INTERNATIONAL PAYMENTS MADE EASY AGAIN

Welcome to the world’s leading RegTech correspondent banking solution for emerging markets, reconnecting your business to global payment rails. We’re bringing back all the international currency clearing and payment services you used to offer your clients. Only simpler, faster, and at a fraction of the cost.

No more delays, no more unfair charging, and no need to deal with multiple providers.

Why the world needs a new correspondent banking solution

»» Correspondent banking relationships are declining quarterly

GET READY TO BANK GLOBALLY AGAIN.

Your challenge

In 2008 when the global financial crisis struck, financial institutions in emerging markets such as yours were “de-risked” preventing you from making cross-border payments easily. We believe that was unjust and undue. So, we created Elemental Financial Limited.

Our solution

Elemental Financial is a unique clearing and payment solutions company providing risk-managed banking services to emerging markets worldwide. We reconnect local banks to global payment rails, transaction banking and currency exchange – quickly, compliantly, and cost-efficiently.

The result

We satisfy the most stringent KYC, KYCC and EDD requirements, reducing your service friction and costs, and transforming the way your international payments are cleared, monitored, and delivered.

In 2007, Tommy and his team pushed their talent and dexterity right to the edge, building a new home in 60 days for £60,000 in Discovery Real Time’s Tommy Walsh’s Eco House. It was built in the most eco-friendly and cost-effective manner possible. Tommy recently returned to the screen on BBC1, presenting Cowboys & Angels.
