SUMMARY:Sustainable Business Series: Understanding Energy Efficiency  
DESCRIPTION:Businesses have faced unprecedented challenges in 2023 and continue to grapple with the impact of persistent economic shocks\, that have already proven to be significant barriers to growth. \nResearch conducted by the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce highlight the significant pressures that businesses currently face. According to the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce Quarterly Business Report for Q1 of 2023\, half of the businesses surveyed across both Manufacturing and Services are expecting to raise their prices in Q2 of 2023. The main reasons cited by businesses for raising prices were labour costs (25%) cost of utilities (23%) and fuel costs (14%). \nIndeed\, energy efficiency remains a difficult topic for business leaders across the region. As a result\, understanding the benefits of energy efficiency measures is vital. As highlighted by the International Energy Agency in their Energy Efficiency 2022 Report\, stronger energy efficiency is the best policy to bring down bills. \nJoin this webinar to understand why energy bills have been persistently high and how businesses are incorporating energy efficiency measures\, in response to rising energy bills. \nWHY ATTEND?\n\n\n\n\n\nUnderstand why energy bills have been persistently high and longer term projections on energy costs\nUnderstand business perspectives of the energy crisis and the impact it’s having\nUnderstand the practical measures businesses can take to lower their energy bills.\n\n\n\n\n\nAGENDA\n10:00am: Event start \n11:00am: Event close

SUMMARY:The Art of the Matter – Global Intrigue & International Auctions 
DESCRIPTION:Freeman’s\n2400 Market Street\nPhiladelphia\, PA 19103 \nREGISTER \nJoin the British American Business Council of Greater Philadelphia for a post-summer networking event and reception at Freeman’s\, America’s oldest auction house\, for an evening of art\, whisky\, and transatlantic business development. \nFreeman’s has been part of the auction world and art market for more than 215 years. They are currently active on five international bidding platforms. In 2000\, Freeman’s formed a strategic marketing alliance with Scotland’s oldest auction house\, Lyon & Turnbull. Freeman’s works closely with Lyon & Turnbull to promote objects and collections in Europe and beyond. This connection boosts exposure and sales potential of their auctions in the United Kingdom\, Europe\, and Asia. Operating since 1826\, Lyon & Turnbull is one of the longest established fine art and antiques auction houses in the United Kingdom. \nAlasdair Nichol\, Chairman\, Head of Fine Art\, Head of Department\, Modern and Contemporary Art at Freeman’s will speak about the current art and international auction market; the strong relationship between Freeman’s and Lyon & Turnbull; and the longstanding cultural and artistic ties between the US and the UK. \nBorn in Edinburgh\, Scotland\, Alasdair studied fine art at Gray’s School of Art in Aberdeen. He later graduated with a master’s degree from the University of Ulster in Belfast\, Northern Ireland. In 1985\, he embarked on his career in the auction world in Edinburgh before moving to Glasgow\, where he organized the first sale of Scottish contemporary art at the world-renowned Glasgow School of Art. He subsequently moved to a flagship saleroom in London where he specialized in Modern and Impressionist art before transferring to New York as Head of Fine Art in 1997. Since 1998 he has been a familiar face on the top-rated PBS television program Antiques Roadshow. \nOn display will be a single owner fine art collection\, comprised mostly of American artists with a focus on Pennsylvania impressionists\, along with select highlights from upcoming auctions related to regional and UK topics. Single-owner sales and selling fresh-to-market and academically significant works from private collections is considered one of Freeman’s strongest areas of achievement. \nWe look forward to welcoming you for a very special evening including whisky tasting\, canapes\, networking\, and a fascinating discussion about the international auction world. \nSponsorship opportunities available. Contact babc@babcphl.com for more information. \n\n.

SUMMARY:Squire Patton Boggs Webinar: UK Business Immigration – Ten Tricky Sponsor Compliance Issues  
DESCRIPTION:Following some turbulent years dealing with the immigration impact of Brexit\, COVID-19 and the Ukraine conflict\, the Home Office appears to be processing visa applications in line with its own service standards – long may it last! \nThe Home Office is also picking up the pace on compliance matters – we are seeing increased “activity” on everything from civil penalties to visa curtailments and requests from the Home Office for further evidence across all aspects of sponsorship. The Home Office is putting additional resource into this area\, which is likely to mean an increase in Home Office audits\, a stricter approach to non-compliance and more licence suspensions or revocations. Having a thorough understanding of your sponsor compliance obligations (as well as systems in place to ensure they can be met) is more important than ever – the revocation of your sponsor licence would usually mean having to end the employment of all your sponsored employees (as well as being unable to sponsor anyone else for at least a further 12-month period). \nJoin our webinar on 14 September 2023 at 12:30 p.m. when Squire Patton Boggs‘ Partners Annabel Mace and May Cheung will use their wealth of experience to address a range of scenarios\, including: \n\nA sponsored employee occasionally works longer hours than those stated on their certificate of sponsorship. Is that an issue?\nA line manager has asked to second a sponsored employee to help out a client at its own offices. Is that allowed?\nYou are carrying out an internal audit and notice that changes to the job titles\, salaries and work location for sponsored employees have not been reported to the Home Office. Does this put the business at risk?\nThe business needs to make redundancies\, which may affect your sponsored employees. What should you think about?\nYou find out that the entity that holds your sponsor licence has had a change in ownership\, but it was more than 10 years ago. What are your obligations?\nYou have been asked to find a role for the son of a board director who requires sponsorship. Can that be done?\n\nThere will also be time for an audience Q&A. \nThis webinar is aimed at anyone with responsibility for sponsored employees\, including HR\, global mobility and talent acquisition professionals (particularly from a compliance perspective)\, and in-house counsel\, as well anyone holding authorising officer\, key contact or Level 1 user responsibilities for their organisation’s worker sponsor licence. \nIf you are not able to attend live\, there will be a recording of the event following but you will still need to register to receive the recording. \nTo register CLICK HERE.

SUMMARY:STIR: Unleashing Potential: Overcoming Disability & Empowering Others 
DESCRIPTION:11:00 am – 12:00 pm EST / 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm BST\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiversity and inclusion are core values for every significant business across industries. However\, people with disabilities are frequently overlooked or inadequately supported at the organizations where they work. Not enough businesses actively prioritize initiatives aimed at hiring individuals with disabilities. At the same time\, many fail to assess how their existing policies and practices inadvertently hinder the full participation of people with disabilities. \nJoin us for a conversation about dismantling barriers to fostering a culture of empathy and understanding. Our panelists will share actionable insights\, best practices\, and success stories that lead to greater workforce diversity\, productivity\, and overall organizational growth. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlatform: Zoom \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The Stir” is BritishAmerican Business’ inclusion & diversity initiative. Launched in 2011\, this critical program series has grown and evolved in response to the changing needs within the transatlantic business community. In short\, we are creating a stir: an open\, honest conversation on how diversity & inclusion are not just good for business\, but vital. \nTogether with our partners\, BAB continues to remain vigilant in addressing this issues via a series of content-rich and community-building programs featuring the latest research\, best practices\, and real-world examples to make our case.
