We are pleased to announce that Simcocks is now a Business Partner of UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man.
Simcocks has pledged to support UNESCO Biosphere in its strategy of ‘Working Together for a Sustainable Future’ and commit to conduct our business in such a way that will help preserve our wonderful island’s unique environment.
UNESCO is the United Nations’ Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation. Biospheres exist under UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme.
The programme began in 1971, initially concentrating on experimenting to find solutions to care for land, sea and species. It was expanded in the mid-1990s to take into consideration areas’ economy, culture, heritage and community and to become more about connecting people with sustainability of what is special to their area.
The Isle of Man was admitted to the world network of Biosphere reserves in 2016 and is one of 727 Biospheres in 131 countries and one of nine UK and Ireland Biospheres (the Island reports to UNESCO via the UK).
Among the Isle of Man’s many special attributes is that it is the only ‘entire nation’ UNESCO Biosphere in the world.
