Collaborating for impact: Cripps partners with The Conduit to drive nature-based climate resilience

Supporting the launch of the FloodAction Coalition to unlock scalable, nature-based solutions for flood and drought resilience across the UK.

 

 Cripps continues to strengthen its collaboration with The Conduit, supporting the launch of the FloodAction Coalition – a landmark UK initiative that aims to transform the country’s £6 billion annual flood related losses into a £1 billion market for climate resilience.

 

The Conduit has been a valued client of Cripps for several years, and in February 2025, Cripps became one of their Impact Partners, joining a diverse network of entrepreneurs, investors, activists and organisations working to drive progress.

 

Cripps is actively supporting the FloodAction Coalition – a bold initiative to scale nature-based solutions that protect communities, restore ecosystems and build long-term resilience to flood and drought. This collaboration underscores Cripps’ dedication to purposeful, responsible business, and supporting our clients as they lead bold, impactful initiatives.

 

The FloodAction Coalition brings together landowners, insurers, investors, infrastructure operators and environmental NGOs to unlock investment in Natural Flood Management (NFM) – including woodland restoration, leaky dams and catchment rewetting. These solutions have been shown to reduce flood peak flows by up to 30%, while delivering co-benefits for biodiversity, carbon and water quality.

 

Mike Scott, senior partner at Cripps, commented:

 

“We are delighted to provide our legal expertise for the purpose of facilitating the investment in and ongoing protection of climate resilience projects. Our partnership with The Conduit is about supporting bold, collaborative initiatives like FloodAction that turn environmental challenges into investable solutions. We’re proud to partner with our longstanding client in advancing a shared vision for sustainability and resilience.”

 

The Conduit is convening the FloodAction Coalition as part of its Solutions Agenda, which brings together business, finance and civil society to accelerate high-impact responses to the world’s most pressing challenges.

If your business employs more than 10 full-time equivalent employees, your business will need to get ready to conform to the new UK business waste and recycling regulations which come into effect on the 31st March 2025. The new regulations, also called the ‘Simpler Recycling Scheme’ are designed to improve recycling rates by businesses across the country. Each local authority will need to provide improved collection services and as a business you need to get ready to have the sorting systems in place. If you’re thinking ‘Great, more bins!’, then you’re not alone but the good news is that the amended legislation has actually reduced the number of bins required in the initial proposals. However, what this probably means is 1) you need to review your recycling procedures and number of bins and 2) have somewhere to put them! This blog outlines the timeline and key responsibilities for businesses, as well as some ideas of how to sort and manage your recycling.

Do you think Solar Renewable Energy is a scam? If so, think again . . .   Like with any industry, there are individuals and businesses that discredit their sector. And, again, like with anything in life, perpetrators are very much in the extreme minority but spoil and ruin it for individuals and businesses that are 100% legitimate and fully accredited, ensuring quality and best practice.   Electrotec Power Solutions Ltd are proud members of and accredited by the EPVS (Energy Performance Validation Scheme): www.epvs.co.uk   Before you make a purchase decision, it's important that you get a quote from an installer that shows how the product will perform and how much it will save. You can also get a longer-term estimate of how much you could earn by investing in the product.   The running costs of new products are a crucial aspect of any decision-making process.   As consumers, we thoroughly check these things.   You trust the sales professional to deliver the promised savings, but he or she may not be able to provide you with the correct details about the product and the running costs.   You should also ask if the quoted savings will apply to your household's needs.   EPVS is a program that was designed to address this issue. Through an independent assessment, it can provide you with the necessary information to make informed decisions.   Through its monitoring programme, EPVS members are able to provide their customers with accurate estimates of their financial savings and performance.
