Proxima may have been all over your screens once more this month in other news outlets. Our team gave their views on topics as wide-ranging as the impact of climate change on manufacturing to the implications of recent tariff increases placed on China by the White House. Our Consultant, Hadley Butcher-Fiske , also had his fun at the Young MCA, sharing his thoughts on mentoring and leadership.
This month, we are proud to reveal that Proxima has been shortlisted for CIPS Consultancy Project of the Year Award, for our work on The Scope 3 Benchmark. The project captured insights from over 170 companies with revenues in excess of $2.3 trillion and employing over 8 million people. That’s a lot of fingers crossed on the night. We hope that we can count on your support, too.
