Please Help Create A Really Effective ESG Framework For The NC500

With support from HIE and Highland Council, North Coast 500 Ltd has commissioned BiGGAR Economics to create an independent ESG Framework to help us understand the current impacts of the NC500 and guide future action.

We need YOUR help to ensure that the study reflects real experiences across the region.

1. If you live or run a business in the North Highlands, please complete the relevant survey based on your own, personal experiences.

• Business Survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BusinessesSurveyNC500

• Resident Survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ResidentSurveyNC500

2. Please share these links with anyone you know who fits the criteria.
The surveys close on Christmas Eve.

The NC500 has brought major economic benefits, but infrastructure and management problems, exacerbated by Covid and increased campervan travel, have placed significant pressures on communities and the environment.

The ESG Framework, which is being produced at arm’s length by BiGGAR Economics, will provide a clear picture of what is working, what isn’t, and what actions NC500 Ltd should take to improve its impact. It is a warts-and-all assessment.

It will be graphics-led rather than wordy, publicly available, and we hope that it will support better collaboration between stakeholders across the North Highlands. Resources are very limited and we need to work better together to get the biggest bangs for our bucks.

More on it here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8e91e82zneo

Please take part and help shape a sustainable future for the North Highlands.

END

I hope that you can help – and best wishes,

David
