For example, in flood situations disabled people can get overlooked as a vulnerable community and, because of displacement, could end up losing the adaptations that provide them with a lifeline.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gill who, recently spoke at the UN on the subject, also encouraged people to &#8216;open their doors&#8217; \u00a0to those, who like herself, \u00a0are neurodiverse and urged guests to bear this group in mind when looking at their ESG strategies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Sheryl Moore, Yorkshire Editor at the TheBusinessDesk.com, said: \u201cA huge congratulations to the winners. The quality of entries this year was superb which clearly demonstrates how important sustainability is to businesses across the region.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;We received submissions from such a diverse range of companies both large and small \u2013 from airlines and textile manufacturers to further education colleges and even sausage makers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;But what all these businesses had in common was their unwavering commitment and determination to build a better future for us all &#8211; whether that was leading on energy transition, reducing carbon admission or protecting our countryside and wildlife. I&#8217;d \u00a0like to congratulate each and every firm who was shortlisted for an award.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2132362\"
