01732 759725 14 BULLETIN ECS supports Air Ambulance appeal Effective Consumable Solutions (ECS) has launched a new business fundraising campaign to support the Lincolnshire & Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance’s Mission Possible 2 Appeal, bringing businesses together from across Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and beyond to help fund the charity’s vision of a second helicopter. Rather than simply donating, ECS has chosen to use the relationships it has built over nearly 30 years in business to encourage organisations of all sizes to support the appeal through partnerships, sponsorship opportunities and a charity golf day. The campaign is deeply personal to Chief Executive Officer, Felicity Rabbitte, whose daughter Lauren received life-saving care from the Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance thirteen years ago. She said: “When we heard about the Mission Possible 2 Appeal, we knew we wanted to play our part. We hope businesses from across our region will join us and help make a real difference.” The Lincolnshire & Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance provides life-saving pre-hospital critical care across Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire, relying on the generosity of supporters to continue its vital work. Businesses interested in supporting the campaign can find out more by visiting the ECS Mission Possible webpage at https://www.ecsuk-ltd.co.uk/mission-possible-2026 Konica Minolta employees step out Konica Minolta employees took part in a seven-mile charity walk through London’s Royal Parks to raise vital funds for its charity partner, Cancer Research UK. The route took participants through some of London’s most iconic green spaces, offering an inclusive and accessible challenge suitable for all fitness levels. The company’s charity initiatives continue to play a central role in its commitment to creating positive social impact and supporting the communities it serves and it is encouraging colleagues, partners and customers from across the UK to get involved. People and Culture ESG Partner Gillian Nuttall said: “This walk is about more than completing seven miles – it’s about coming together as one team to support a cause that touches so many lives. Every step our colleagues take helps fund vital research and brings us closer to a future where more people can lead longer, better lives, free from the fear of cancer. We’re incredibly proud of the enthusiasm and generosity shown across the business, and we hope to see as many people as possible join us in making a real difference this year, reinforcing our long standing commitment to community support and employee wellbeing.” www.konicaminolta.co.uk Epson secures RBA Platinum Epson has secured Platinum recognition, the highest level awarded by the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), for its Indonesian production site, PT.
