Solent Concert Orchestra summer concert SOLENT Concert Orchestra gave what must have been one of the first performances by an amateur orchestra during Covid when they played outside Bramshaw Village Hall recently. The concert, under the baton of their musical director Simon Wilkins, was in aid of the Village Hall Trust which is striving to overcome the serious structural damage caused by a freak storm last year. Social distancing was in force but this did not prevent the event being very well supported by both the villagers and the orchestra’s loyal supporters, including its long-standing patron Dr. Julian Lewis MP.

The latest survey done by the business advisory firm KPMG shows this year, 74 percent of New Zealand entities reported on environmental, social and governance information, up from 69 percent in 2017.
However, the growth of other countries has been faster - for instance Australia upped its proportion by 15 points to 92 percent.
The percentage of New Zealand organisations, which had their reporting independently audited, increased from 7 to 28 percent but that was well-down on the global average of 50 percent.
Partner at KPMG Simon Wilkins said it was in the interests of companies to report on such issues. It speaks to an organisation s ability to respond to the environmental and social challenges that lie ahead. and ultimately will speak to long-term value.
