??????| Coming together for Black History Month
Within the UK, October is Black History Month and Team Baxter came together to celebrate by having a delicious team lunch with flavours from the Caribbean.
Black History Month gives everyone the opportunity to share, celebrate and understand the impact of black heritage and culture.
By embracing each other's cultures, we're able to gain a deeper understanding and create an inclusive environment.
??| Our Sustainable Freight Network deliver their second webinar
Following the success of One Small Action, our first webinar episode created and delivered by our Sustainable Freight Network, it was only right to keep up momentum with the second episode: Report, Reduce, Remove.
Collaboration and knowledge sharing is central to our Sustainable Freight Network, that's why our webinars break down the complexity of sustainability and make it accessible.
Report, Reduce, Remove covered the latest sustainability legislation affecting businesses, the future of fueling, and took a deep dive into greenwashing.
Didn't get to tune in live? Don't worry! We'll be hosting a RE-RUN of Report, Reduce, Remove in December - click here to join the waitlist.
???| All you need to know about Singles' Day
Could Singles' Day be the biggest online retail event you've never even heard of?

??| Team Baxter Wear It Pink for Breast Cancer Now
It was no coincidence that Team Baxter came to the office dressed all in pink - that's because we got involved with Wear It Pink for Breast Cancer Now .
From a little pop of pink, to head-to-toe outfits, the entire team got involved in the action and managed to raise nearly ￡600 for the charity!
?| HVO: Today’s answer to reducing emissions in logistics?
The race towards achieving net-zero emissions is a significant challenge, particularly for supply chains and the transportation sector, who are one of the largest emitting contributors to global warming.
HVO stands for Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil and is, in short, a sustainable alternative to diesel. Made from vegetable oil from a range of ‘feedstock’ that are produced from:
We chatted to PREMA ENERGY LTD, the first importers of HVO into the UK, to learn more about the diesel alternative that might just help support the road freight industry to reduce its emissions.

??| World Menopause Day
World Menopause Day is held every year on the 18th October, and aims to break taboo and improve women's health and wellbeing.
Currently, it's estimated that of the 33 million people employed in the UK, nearly 6 million of those are experiencing menopause, and with a growing proportion of the workforce experiencing menopause, it's vital to raise awareness about the topic.
We chatted with colleagues, Claire McNulty and Kristina Causer about how it can impact working life.
??| Volatile supply chains: the new norm?
Building resilience and contingency into your supply chain is not a nice to have - it's a must have in a global economy.
A global economy creates a higher reliance on international trade and supply chains, and with that a greater dependence on freight partners and logistics solutions that enable the efficient movement of goods.?
Supply chains are dynamic; technological evolution, environmental and geopolitical events are happening all the time, so ensure your organisation can respond to that with as much pace.
?| Celebrating Diwali
To celebrate the Festival of Light, Team Baxter enjoyed a selection of foods typically eaten during Diwali and even had a craft-ernoon session making rangoli!
We chatted with colleagues, Dharmesh Raja and Vineeta Sharma , all about what Diwali means to them, and why it's important to recognise these events in the workplace.
