2018 has been another fantastic year at WE&B, in our little way we have made small ripples in the ocean of sustainable development. Here we list some of our highlights from 2018:
Near the start of the year, we were selected to form part of Valles Circular (http://www.vallescircular.com) The “Vallès Circular” is a territorial initiative shared between administrations, social, environmental and economic organisations with the objective of promoting the circular economy in the Vallès Occidental in Cataluña, Spain. It is to develop new ways of production and consumption in order to enhance competitiveness, quality of life and environmental improvement.
We organised and ran the Open Day for the LIFE_DREAMER http://life-dreamer.com/la-desalacion-y-la-tordera-un-exitoso-open-day/project in Blanes, Catalonia, Spain. The OPEN DAY consisted of initially presenting, the territorial context, and the project itself, detailing about the consortium, the objectives, the processes, the main activities and the expected results.
We were very proud in 2018 to have been recognised and accredited as an innovative SME by the Spanish Government.
We were also granted membership of the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN)https://www.ctc-n.org, we can thus play a meaningful role in information sharing and capacity Building; providing technical assistance; and participate in outreach and networking activities.
We were invited by the Sant Cugat Municipality to participate as part of their stand at the Expo Smart City
