Bidvest Noonan Joins the Accelerate Pact to Tackle Climate and Nature Crises

by

Bidvest Noonan has announced it has signed up to ‘Accelerate’, the Business Pact for Climate and Nature. The company, a long-standing member of Business in the Community, is one of the first signatories of this forward-thinking initiative launched by Business in the Community in Ireland (BITCI). The pact aims to drive urgent and collective action to address the challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss.

By signing the pact, Bidvest Noonan has committed to setting a Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) approved net-zero target by 2050, with a goal to establish this by 2030 or earlier. Additionally, the company will develop and implement a comprehensive Climate Transition Plan to align its operations with a 1.5°C and nature-positive future.

Our CEO, Declan Doyle, commented: “We are proud to join the Accelerate Pact and stand alongside others committed to tackling the challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss. Sustainability is at the heart of how Bidvest Noonan operate, and this initiative aligns with our purpose to proudly create safer, healthier communities today, for tomorrow.”

Our business has consistently prioritised sustainability across its operations. Signing the Accelerate Pact reinforces the company’s commitment to innovative, environmentally responsible practices that benefit its clients and the communities it serves.

Under the pact, signatories are required to integrate ambitious actions into their Climate Transition Plans, focusing on nine key areas: Nature, Scope 3 emissions, Just Transition, Decarbonisation, Targets, Finance, Advocacy, Risk, and Governance. The Accelerate Pact builds on the success of BITCI’s Low Carbon Pledge, which concluded this year.

Bidvest Noonan Launches TwinSpace, its Digital Twin Solution

Bidvest Noonan has launched TwinSpace, its new digital twin technology solution. TwinSpace provides our clients with 3D virtual replicas of their facilities to improve training, project management, occupancy planning, and more.

TwinSpace is gaining fast traction, particularly in sectors where training and space utilisation are critical. Its accurate 3D models of facilities allow our teams to complete site-specific training remotely. New team members can familiarise themselves with the facility before arriving on-site, ensuring they are well-prepared from day one.

TwinSpace captures precise spatial data to create highly accurate floor plans. These schematic plans include precise measurements and define floor areas within buildings. This level of detail enables our teams to plan for work schedules, space management, and optimising resource allocation more effectively.

Our TwinSpace technicians can create virtual models for clients within hours, using unobtrusive, lightweight technologies. The models offer an intuitive, user-friendly experience and require minimal onboarding.

Whether visualising a room layout or navigating an entire building, TwinSpace simplifies space analysis and decision-making, providing a realistic view without the need for on-site visits. Embedded resources such as PDFs and videos provide detailed instructions and insights for tenants, maintenance teams, and facility managers, improving overall operational efficiency.

Peter Smyth, Director of Technology and Innovation, said, “TwinSpace enhances training, supports space planning, and enables better operational decision-making. It equips teams and managers with the critical information they need, whether planning projects or managing day-to-day tasks. This tool is a valuable asset for our customers across all sectors.”

Cormac Sheils, Chief Operating Officer, added, “TwinSpace has already made a significant impact, with clients seeing real improvements in training efficiency, space management, and decision-making. I’m confident that TwinSpace will continue to deliver exceptional value for our customers.”
