Sammen med Cambridge Institute for Sustainable Leadership har DLA Piper gennemført forskningsstudiet "Future of Boards", der blandt andet har identificeret 22 tendenser inden for bestyrelsesarbejde verden over.Disse tendenser kan fungere som en støtte for bestyrelser i deres arbejde - ikke kun i forhold til at overholde øgede krav inden for bæredygtighed - men også for at tage en aktiv rolle i omstillingen mod en bæredygtig fremtid og skabe værdi for virksomheden.Dette er endnu en episode i vores podcast-føljeton om EU's omfattende ESG-regulering. Denne gang sætter vi fokus på en af hovedpointerne i "Future of boards" rapporten; Hvordan vi går fra bare at kunne sætte flueben til rent faktisk at skabe værdi, når det handler om virksomhedernes evne til at leve op til EU's ESG-regulering.Podcasten foregår på engelsk.Gæster:Alex Tamlyn – partner at DLA Piper, UK, contributor to the Future of boards report.Linda Nielsen – professor of global law and governance, University of CopenhagenVært:Magnus Krabbe
I'm very pleased to bringing you a chat with Victoria Whitaker. I was really excited to chat with Vic - she's another of the originals of the Sydney and Australian sustainability crew like Lee Stewart and Nicolette Boele I've had the chance to chat with on this show. I did some work with Vic the best part of a decade ago when she was at The Ethics Centre, and it was immediately evident how thoughtful, well regarded and insightful she was.Vic has held a number of different roles in various organisations over time. From being involved in the earlier days of the Cambridge Institute for Sustainable Leadership and running Al Gore's Climate Project in the UK, to joining Choice, working on the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme in the initial Kevin Rudd prime ministerial years, she brought the Global Reporting Initiative and UN Global Compact to Australia, spent time at the Ethics Centre and was recently a partner at Deloitte doing all sorts of sustainability, human rights and social licence work.Vic represents the required breadth of knowledge, skills and capabilities of the sustainability professional. under that though is a person driven to make a difference. She has Always been looking to find a way to alter the trajectory of a problem or an organisation's contribution to it. It was a pleasure having Vic on the show to chat about the history of this work, her own stories and then the fundamental role of ethics, values and principles in decision making that is often the missing factor in a corporate sustainability machine that is now fixated on mandatory disclosures, mandatory ESG assessment and mandatory e-learnings. Change doesn't happen when you try to force it on people, and as we hear from Vic here, the reprisal and spreading of the original ontology of sustainability needs work, stretching back to what Rachel Carson's seminal Silent Spring from 1962 helped reveal.Chatting to Vic was illuminating. I haven't been able to stop thinking about the pursuit of more sustainable futures without different ways by which decisions are made which value and prioritise ethics, values and principles. The April newsletter is on the theme of unity, and in crisis it's easy to feel isolated and alone. Together though, we are far stronger, our unity is where our power lies. With Vic in mind, and the theme of unity, here's this quote from Thomas Paine which to me represents the situation of the sustainability professional “It is not in numbers but in our unity that our great strength lies.”Til next time, thanks for listening.

Mojca Briščik je kariero začela kot novinarka, a se je po letih nabiranja izkušenj na številnih medijih, od Radia Capris do Radia Ekspres in POP TV-ja, pričela razgledovati še po drugih izzivih. Bila je direktorica blagovnice Maximarket, direktorica korporativnega komuniciranja v Mercatorju, zdaj pa že več kot osem let vodi Slovensko oglaševalsko zbornico, kjer predseduje tudi priznanemu oglaševalskemu festivalu Zlati boben. IzobrazbaMojca Briščik je diplomirana novinarka ter magistra ekonomije, ki je iz lastnega zanimanja do trajnostnega razvoja uspešno zaključila tudi intenziven osem tedenski program »Business Sustainability Management« Univerze v Cambridgeu, Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL). Mojca Briščik je izvršna direktorica Slovenske oglaševalske zbornice (SOZ) in predsednica mednarodnega kreativnega festivala Zlati boben. Ponaša se s široko paleto znanj in izkušenj, še zlasti s področja korporativnega komuniciranja, marketinga in odnosov z javnostmi, ter tudi vodenja in upravljanja prodaje na drobno. Karierno pot je začela še v času študija kot radijska in televizijska novinarka ter radijska voditeljica in snovalka radijskih oddaj. Svojo medijsko pot pa je zaključila na mestu urednice Radia glas Ljubljane. Poklicno pot je po 17 letih aktivnega delovanja v medijih nadgradila kot direktorica blagovnice Maxi. Po štirih uspešnih letih je nato prevzela mesto direktorice korporativnega komuniciranja v Mercatorju, ki je zajemalo, ne zgolj komuniciranje z vsemi deležniki v matični državi, temveč tudi koordiniranje vseh PR služb po tujih trgih (skupno šestih) kjer je družba delovala. Pod njenim vodstvom je družba Mercator, za področje družbene odgovornosti, prejela tudi mednarodno nagrado European Business Award. Trenutno je zaposlena na Slovenski oglaševalski zbornici, kjer ji je Upravni odbor spomladi potrdil že tretji mandat. Najljubša knjiga: Nekoč sem bila pravi knjižni molj, že v srednji šoli so se mi posmehovali, ker sem brala knjige Antona Trstenjaka, a se zanje nisem ravno zmenila. Danes pa se na moji nočni omarici ali v potovalni torbi znajdejo predvsem strokovne knjige, po romanih pa le še redko sežem. Iz tega obdobja (izpred več kot 15-imi leti) izstopa predvsem eden, to je delo z naslovom 2.999 SIT francoskega pisca Frédérica Beigbederja, ki je zagotovo pomembno vzbudilo zanimanje za svet v katerem tičim še danes. Sicer pa … tisti, ki me dobro poznajo vedo, da imam rada 'praholovce' v obliki knjige. Sem generacija, ki še vedno vzame v roke ne samo knjigo, temveč tudi časnike in revije.Najljubša serija: Razdvojena med serijo Peaky Blinders in The gentleman, režiserja Guyja Ritchieja. Hobiji: Sem aktivna oseba, kardio vadbe sem zamenjala za vadbe za krepitev mišične mase (starostno pogojena odločitev), sprehodi s psom so obvezni in pa rada prebedim noči ob kakem dobrem filmu ali seriji. Najbolj me nasmejijo francoske ali španske komedije in skandinavski trilerji. Nesporno pa noči ne bi prebedela zaradi grozljivk.Najljubša hrana: Mediteranska kuhinja.Najljubši podjetnik: Od tujih je to zagotovo Angela Ahrendts, nekoč direktorica Burberryja, nato podpredsednica v Apple-u, odgovorna za prodajo, danes predavateljica in predsednica upravnega odbora »Save the Children International« - izjemno karizmatična ženska, ki zna povezovati in spodbujati ljudi s katerimi deluje tako da dosežejo svoj največji potencial.Od domačih pa Blaž Brodnjak, predsednik uprave NLB, ki zna reči bobu bob - več pa ni potrebno dodati.Najljubši app: LinkedIn (službeno), Podcasts (zasebno)Zaključni nauki: · Družina naj bo vedno na prvem mestu. · Ne dajaj nasvetov, če te zanje eksplicitno ne prosijo.· Poskusi ohraniti moralni kompas.

In this episode, we talk to Professor Robert Miller, Director of the Whittle Laboratory at the University of Cambridge, who shares why 2030 targets are crucial for the aviation industry's transition towards net zero.Miller is also the head of the Aviation Impact Accelerator (AIA), a collaboration between the Whittle Laboratory and the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership. The AIA recently released the “Five Years to Chart a New Future for Aviation” report which outlined 4 key Sustainable Aviation Goals, which, if achieved in the next 5 years, can help aviation reach net-zero by 2050. Miller shares insights into the recently released report and highlights several key issues:The misconception of smooth technology transitions, emphasising that historical precedents show abrupt changes with usually one dominant solution emerging, similar to VHS vs Betamax or cars vs horses.Operation Blue Skies which seeks to address persistent contrails by setting up “Airspace-Scale Living Labs”.The introduction of bold efficiency measures that could halve fuel burn by 2050, including reducing aircraft life from 30 to 15 years, flying 15% slower, and better matching aircraft to route distances.The challenges of scaling Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) within global biomass limitations, with potential ticket price increases ranging from 30%-90% depending on production method.The opportunity for hydrogen adoption in long-haul aviation, with potential for 10-30% fleet penetration by 2050, focusing initially on the 50 largest hub airports that consume half of global jet fuel.The importance of launching moonshot technology demonstrations by 2030, including cryogenic hydrogen/methane fuels, synthetic biology, and hydrogen-electric propulsion.Throughout the conversation, Miller emphasises the urgency of immediate action. He stresses that while only 10% of the global population has flown, expanding access to air travel must be balanced with aggressive decarbonisation efforts.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Dr Florian Allroggen, Executive Director, Aerospace Climate & Sustainability, and a Research Scientist in MIT's Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, who shares the science behind contrails, their climate impact, and practical solutions for mitigation.

Adam Bastock was enjoying a successful career in digital marketing when he realised the planet was in crisis and decided to do something about it. In 2020 he set up Small99 with a mission to help the UK's small businesses become more sustainable and reduce their carbon footprint. He's gone from strength to strength since then. Adam is the brain behind People, Planet, Pint – a social meetup for anyone concerned about climate change and sustainability. Originally devised as a meetup after COP22 in Adam's hometown of Glasgow, PPP has gone on to operate in 75 cities across 10 countries. Community, it's clear, is a great catalyst and enabler of change. In this episode Jen, Cat and Dom chat with Adam to hear how SME's are responding to the climate crisis and what role he thinks communication plays in successful community building and behaviour change. About Adam Adam is the founder of Small99. Small99™ is helping small businesses to take positive action to reduce their carbon footprint to become more sustainable and profitable. Vision - Our Ambition To create the Small99™ Carbon Reduction Community – a positive and energetic force that supports small businesses to make their vital contribution to the UK's carbon reduction targets. Mission At Small99™ we provide practical support, tools and local meetups to start 1 million small businesses on their path to net zero by 2025. We're doing this because existing guidance often overlooks small businesses, yet 99% of businesses in the UK employ fewer than 49 employees - together they can make a huge contribution to reducing the UK's carbon output. Our Story Small99™ is helping small businesses to take positive action to reduce their carbon footprint to become more sustainable and profitable. The UK's small business community has the power to make a vital contribution to our carbon reduction targets. Small99™ is creating a movement for change – a movement that is empowering small businesses by creating a portfolio of practical tools, support and networking opportunities. The Small99™ process is practical, approachable and, importantly, it aligns with the targets of companies like Microsoft. It enables small businesses to evaluate their footprint, set targets for reducing it and measure their progress. The Small99™ team is ambitious for change and aims to connect with one million businesses by 2025 – businesses that can, with our help, improve their sustainability and profitability and help the UK meet its carbon reduction targets. How we do it You can join us at our People, Planet, Pint™ events held across the UK and internationally. They're a great way to meet other small businesses, to share your challenges, ideas and experiences so that you can learn from others. You can attend one of our CRAB (Carbon Reduction Action Box) workshops where, in a couple of hours, you can create a baseline for your carbon reduction plan, scope your next steps and make some good connections along the way. You can access our online Carbon Reduction Measurement tool to help you take action and monitor your progress. It's a simple, effective and accessible and provides the information you need to plan for and reduce your carbon Footprint. You can get expert support from our team when you need help to stay on track. You can estimate your digital carbon footprint quickly in detail too. Already, we've engaged with more than 9,000 businesses in the past 2 years through our workshops, tools and events. We organise around 60 events a month across the world to bring small businesses together - including Chicago, Singapore and Australia. Join the Small99™ Carbon Reduction Movement – it's simple, accessible anddesigned to help you and your business to become more sustainable and Profitable. Our Work Small99 has directly trained over 6,000 businesses in the past 2 years on the topic of Net Zero, focusing on small businesses that were feeling overwhelmed and confused by the existing guidance available. Adam Bastock, Small99 Founder, studied at the Cambridge Institute for Sustainable Leaders (CISL), and has since worked with multiple organisations throughout the UK under the Small99™ brand. Some of Small99's partnerships include: “Net Zero 360”, with Clean Growth UK, to guide hundreds of businesses to measure and reduce their footprint. The development and delivery of lightweight, first step, sustainability workshops with Small Business Britain. “Step up to Net Zero” with Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, a fully funded placement program for 60 businesses. Scottish Council of Voluntary Organizations, to develop tools for “Growing Climate Confidence”, a ‘where to start' resource for the third sector. For full details, see “Our Work”.
Of course, you know what a tank top is – but do you know why it is called a tank top? A tee-shirt looks like the letter T. But a tank top doesn't look like a tank. So where did the name come from? Listen as I start this episode with the explanation that goes back to the 1920s. https://undersummers.com/blogs/undersummers-about-us/the-history-of-the-tank-top-why-is-it-called-a-tank-top We have all likely felt a sexual attraction to someone. When you see that person across the room at a party and you can't take your eyes off him or her – that is sexual attraction. It is very different from other kinds of human attraction, like being attracted to someone as a friend or someone you want to work with. True sexual attraction is based solely on a person's appearance. It is a universal yet very individualized pull towards someone else and it can be very powerful. Joining me to discuss the science of this little known human experience is James Giles. He is lecturer at the University of Cambridge Institute for Continuing Education and is well known for his writings on philosophical psychology and human relationships. He is author of the book, Sexual Attraction: The Psychology of Allure (https://amzn.to/4bY2Jmk). The whole world of work has changed a lot in the last several years. Today, people don't stay in one job or even in one career like they used to. Additionally, people are questioning their work and asking themselves, “Is this really what I want to be doing?” It also seems people are looking to find more meaning in their work, not just a paycheck. To help understand why things have changed and how best to navigate these changes is Jennifer Tosti-Kharas . She is a professor of management at Babson College and author of the book Is Your Work Worth It?: How to Think About Meaningful Work (https://amzn.to/3VnFf2V) It is a mystery that has confounded people since the invention of laundry: Why does one sock go missing and where does it go? Listen as I explain one very plausible solution that explains why you have socks without a mate. https://reviewed.usatoday.com/laundry/features/youre-not-crazy-your-socks-really-can-disappear-in-the-wash PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!

Evelyn Mason is an experienced music therapist and Vice-Chancellor's PhD Student at the Cambridge Institute for Music Therapy Research at Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) in Cambridge. Chroma Therapies and the Independent Neurorehabilitation Providers Alliance (INPA) are collaborating with ARU on this study which focuses on music therapy to address the emotional challenges of family caregivers of people with Huntington's disease. As a practising clinician, she has specialisms in brain injury rehabilitation, adoption, dementia, learning disability and hospice care. Having completed her MA Music Therapy training at ARU in 2008, she worked for the Northern Ireland Music Therapy Trust in Belfast, with children with learning difficulties in Chennai, India, for Methodist Homes Association (MHA) in central England, for Chroma Therapies with individual adoption cases, and currently works with Chroma Therapies as a Neurologic Music Therapist at a brain injury rehabilitation unit in Bristol. Evelyn employs an integrative approach in her clinical work. At times, she uses psychodynamic processes at the pre-assessment phase to understand relational or engagement issues with the client. Evelyn seeks to adopt a desire-based approach by putting the client's choices at the core of the therapeutic journey. She works within the scientific theory model when carrying out her rehabilitation work, seeking to enable the client to benefit from inter-disciplinary working and patient-centred rather than discipline-centred programs. Evelyn's future research interests are related to the field of neuro-disability. They include: Developing musical techniques to address neurologically-induced sensations. Examining music therapy techniques to address speech deficits in stroke patients diagnosed with aphasia. Analysing connections between social issues and acquired brain injury. Developing online music therapy models for carers of people with neurodegenerative conditions. References/links: The Academy of Neurologic Music Therapy – -In Memory of Robert F.

She's the author of a Cambridge-set series of crime novels (The Whole World, The Start of Everything, The Red House, Look For Her) and the memoir Jane Doe January. Her books have been published by Random House, HarperCollins, Allison & Busby, and Shanghai Translation Publishing House. Emily trained as an actor at Carnegie Mellon University's prestigious drama conservatory and earned a master's degree in museum studies from Seton Hall University. For six years she wrote for Games magazine, creating increasingly elaborate and lavishly illustrated logic puzzles. She lives with her husband and two sons, and teaches at the University of Cambridge Institute of Continuing Education at beautiful Madingley Hall, where she is the Course Director for Cambridge's MSt degree in Crime & Thriller Writing. Emily is represented by Cameron McClure at the Donald Maass Literary Agency. Time to Write by Emily Winslow is an awesome author craft book written by someone who is an author and professor teaching writing. Over the years, Emily taught many different classes and finally decided to put them all together into a book. What I loved about this craft book is that it is less about what you must do and more about things you should keep in mind when writing. She doesn't say "Write your book this way," but instead suggests you think about things like the difference between plot and structure, consider what tense you are using and why, and figure out how to find your writing tribe. What's more, this book is perfect for beginners or for authors who've written several books already. Regardless of where you are, you'll get something from her lessons. This is a must-read for anyone who writes or is considering it!

In this episode Betsy is joined by Carlos 'Charlie' Zimbrón, Co-Founder and CEO of Fuckup Nights, as well as The Failure Institute. Betsy and Charlie say the word 'fuck' a lot cuz... clue's in the name, really. So if you enjoy 'swear words' as occasional punctuation and appreciate a free-flowing, un-edited conversation, you're gonna LOVE this one. Fuckup Nights has become a global movement driven by community of people who share professional failure stories on a monthly basis in 200+ cities in 62+ countries. It's a link I often share with the execs who take the online course I lead for the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL). Because, as Charlie talks about in this episode, failure, resilience, innovation and creativity are all inextricably linked - and necessary. Few things are more uncomfortable than failure, but feeling safe enough to share and celebrate fucking up as part of the process of innovation (and of being human) is an important aspect of creating a better world. Charlie shares the story of how a good old carne asada with mezcal among a diverse group of friends in Mexico City, mixed with a desire to be able to 'see behind the curtain' and hear the REAL story behind the speeches we've all heard at confererences, led to the birth of Fuckup Nights. Settle yourself in, grab a mezcal, check out the link to Fuckup Nights and prepare to enjoy this episode.

Hear from Jane Stevensen of JS Global Advisory, as we examine the overall progress of the global energy transition. We always knew that the transition to net-zero wasn't going to be smooth. Political realities must be considered, especially during a period of increased concern over energy security. A good recent example of political backsliding is the UK government's controversial decision to grant over a hundred new oil and gas licenses in the North Sea, despite a legally binding commitment to reach net zero by 2050. Although the UK is not alone, there are some encouraging signs of progress in other policy domains. It's a matter of where the balance lies. That's why in this episode, we explore some solutions needed to manage the risks during this uncertain transition, such as: Abandoning short-term thinking in favour of long-term strategies that align with our net-zero and socio-economic goals; Using ESG reporting frameworks as a tool for developing resilient business strategies, rather than as an annual chore; and Leveraging the information from reporting frameworks to ensure decision-makers are held accountable for their actions.

Ruth Sunderland, the group business editor of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday, asks industry leaders and thinkers about the purpose of companies. Should they be organisations designed to generate profits for the benefit of shareholders, or do they have a bigger role to play in society? What part do they play in environmental policy? Ruth investigates ESG investments, which claim to promote environmental, social and corporate governance best practice, and have become a trillion pound industry. Why has ESG become a flashpoint in the US political culture wars and could the same happen in the UK?

Hear from Nicky Dee, Co-Founder of Carbon13, as we take a closer look at the climate startup ecosystem and how it's changing the way we decarbonize. Many sectors, especially hard-to-abate ones such as steel and cement, are failing to align with a 1.5-degree world and still require fundamental change to become viable in a low carbon economy. Recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all solution, we often turn to innovation as a way to find creative solutions to decarbonization challenges. Many entrepreneurs and innovators are turning their attention to climate and environmental issues, but given the scale and urgency of the challenges, more are always needed. Building on what we learnt about startups in the previous episode of this podcast, this discussion will dive into the world of venture builders which specialize in incubating climate startups, harnessing the creative power of entrepreneurs to tackle the climate emergency. We explore some key aspects of climate venture building, including: The process of creating a startup; How to build a team of the right people; and How these startups can help catalyse the transition to net-zero.

In this week's episode of ESG Insider, we're bringing you coverage of a sustainability summit that S&P Global Sustainable1 hosted in Paris on May 10. We sit down with conference speakers on the sidelines of the event to discuss themes ranging from physical climate risks to net zero to the energy transition to nature. A theme throughout these discussions is the importance of taking a holistic approach to sustainability issues and not treating them in silos. We speak to Michael Sheren, fellow at the Cambridge Institute of Sustainability Leadership, who explains why biodiversity and climate risks need to be addressed hand in hand. Nature and climate “are literally twins. They have to be connected,” Michael tells us. We talk to Julia Ripa, quantitative analyst at Swedish pension fund AP4, who tells us about the challenges investors face in obtaining biodiversity data. We hear from Prajna Khanna, Global Head of Sustainability at technology investment company Prosus Group, who explains the gaps in financing between developed and developing nations. And we sit down with Camille Putois, CEO of Business for Inclusive Growth, a partnership between the OECD and a global, CEO-led coalition of companies. She tells us about a new framework being developed to address social issues.

On this episode of the Lead With Purpose podcast host, Tze Ching Yeung talks to Tahmid Chowdhury, a transformational coach and author about how he ended up doing what he's doing including working on EU policy around sustainability. KEY TAKEAWAYS When I was working in government, I found out I really enjoyed the management aspect which led me to get more interested in the people side of things which got me more involved with the diversity network and I've carried on doing it, exploring what makes people tick and how we can shift our mindset to enjoy the lives we want to live while expressing creativity. In 2019 I took some time off to re-evaluate what I wanted in life. I enjoyed the management side of my job so I took up coaching. This has precipitated a real shift in how we can work with people but more deeply how I can live my own life and who I'm choosing to be day-to-day and how I can be a more loving, caring individual through my actions based upon my being. The results can be really powerful both with my friends and my work colleagues. I don't really sign up to work/life balance anymore. If you're super stressed at home or work it doesn't magically disappear. How many times have you gone on holiday feeling stressed, or you're at work thinking about personal issues or staying late and that having knock-on effects into your relationships? Genuinely, because I'm more chilled out about life these days – not that I'm perfect – it's a lot easier to work with people. It's all about the mental load. A lot of diversity books are very academic or about personal development, I saw there was something in between. The idea of my book is to make an accessible way of understanding diversity where I thow in my own personal experiences and interpretations of some of the terminology, like ‘equity' or ‘in-group' and ‘out-group', without making it too dense. I brought in a coaching approach of creating an uncomplicated CUBE model (Culture, Upbringing, Bias, and lived Experience) which basically asks: What is your culture, upbringing, bias and lived experience? It's a self-enquiry way to understand diversity for yourself. BEST MOMENTS ‘There's a lot of pressure and stress and I think that's holding people back by creating burnout, which is not a fun place to be. I got burned out after working on Brexit.'‘There is more to the world than just our bubble.'‘The way that you do anything is the way that you do everything.'‘Business is a state of mind, not necessarily about all the work we do.' ABOUT THE GUEST Tahmid Chowdhury: I coach people to overcome the challenges they face to make the world a better place. I specialise in coaching on personal development, organisational culture and diversity and inclusion. I believe in the power of humans to shift the status quo. We do this by harnessing the power of difference – difference of ideas, background and thought. This makes us stronger. We are held back by our structures around us, which stop us from changing the world. Whether that be the organisations around us, societal expectations or our own beliefs about ourselves. I am also an experienced Diversity and Inclusion Practitioner, with particular experience working on race. Within previous roles I presented twice to my departmental Executive Committee on race initiatives and developed the department's race training package. I am an EMCC Accredited Coach at Practitioner level, and hold a ICF Accredited Diploma in Transformational Coaching. I hold an MA in European Studies from KU Leuven, Belgium and a BA French and History from the University of Sheffield, where I also completed a year abroad at Sciences Po Paris. I speak English, French and Spanish, with passive level Sylheti. I currently work as a Programme Manager at the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership. I work on EU policy focussing on the decarbonisation of industry. I previously worked in the UK Government as a Senior Policy Adviser.

Next, she created a sustainable fashion brand. In 2019, she launched a social enterprise to help raise awareness about the negative impact of fashion at schools and colleges. Through the 15-year journey, she learned so much, but easily the most meaningful lesson learned was about the importance of marketing. She now focuses on channelling those insights to help others succeed, through We Disrupt Agency, a business coaching, mentoring and digital marketing company. Tze Ching's mission is to create a community of global change makers and to contribute to positive change in both people and planet.

Our long-standing #SustyTalk interview series is evolving from video to audio-only! In this episode, edie's Content Editor Matt Mace catches up with Dr Nina Seega from the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) after her time in Sharm El Sheikh for COP27. Nina provides her view on whether the measures agreed in and beyond the negotiating rooms bring us any closer to a just transition to net-zero and achieving the Paris Agreement.
For the first episode of the series, I have the pleasure of speaking with Erinch Sahan, the business and enterprise lead at the Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL). A term coined by the pioneering economist Kate Raworth, the aim of Doughnut Economics is to create 21st century economies that are regenerative and distributive by design, so that they can meet the needs of all people within the means of the living planet – a theme which we will be exploring in our conversation today. Erinch is a board member of the Social Enterprise World Forum, he was recently the chief executive of the World Fair Trade Organization and he previously spent 7 years at Oxfam leading campaign initiatives, where he also founded Oxfam's Future of Business Initiative. With degrees in finance and law, and an honorary doctorate from Oxford Brookes University, Erinch teaches sustainable value chains at Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership, and he has also worked for Australia's aid programme. In the course of his career, he's even established a furniture business, and in his earlier years, he worked at Procter & Gamble as a market strategy manager, a story I'll be asking him about shortly. Recorded on 3rd Oct 2022.

Sustainability has become a key goal for so many companies in the food and drink industry, but how do you go about actually making your business more sustainable? It is clear that the food system has plenty of work to do in this area, but what is equally clear is that many things are already being achieved. In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, made in partnership with Tetra Pak, we dive into the company's 2022 Sustainability Report, and learn the secrets of an organisation identified as one of the 50 leading companies in the world for sustainability. How do you react to sustainability challenges when you are a vast, global organisation, with hundreds of millions of people relying on your products each day? Tetra Pak says sustainability has been at the heart of the business throughout its 70-year history, and that means it is built into the company's ethos. But things have changed over the decades, and sustainability priorities throughout the world have moved on from where they were in the middle of the 20th Century. The headline figure in Tetra Pak's 2022 Sustainability Report is that it achieved a 36% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions linked to its operations in 2021. So, how did the company do it? There are obvious challenges around packaging for an organisation like Tetra Pak. What innovations are helping with its sustainability goals? Sustainability is not simply about reducing carbon emissions. One of the commitments in the report is 'acting for nature' - what does that mean, and how does it play out in real life? Listen to the full episode to get answers to those questions, and learn about Tetra Pak's land restoration initiative in Brazil, how a sustainability agenda can boost innovation, and the company's progress towards resilient and sustainable food systems. . Lisa Rydén, Vice President Corporate Social Responsibility, Tetra Pak Lisa and her team are driving excellence in the company's sustainability approach linked to the brand pillars ‘Food, People, Planet' and ensuring progress towards Tetra Pak's commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Lisa is engaged in several industry coalitions and platforms driving joint actions and collaboration in different areas of sustainability. Lisa is a Swedish citizen, based in Lund. She holds an MSc in Industrial Management and Engineering from Lund University. She completed the Prince of Wales's Business & Sustainability Programme in 2016 at Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership. Lisa joined Tetra Pak in 2005 and has previously held positions within R&D and Services as well as being globally responsible for Recyclability and Recycling Technologies.

“If you didn't have a marketing budget but you still had the same KPIs what would you do?” Great question… and one we explore further with founders of the Sustainable Marketing Compass, Alexis Eyre and Paul Randle. We learn how the question… ‘Daddy is your job good for the environment?' - led Paul to join the 8 week Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership course, where he met fellow marketer, Alexis Eyre. Determined to be part of the solution, rather than the problem, they recognised that marketing has a lot to add when it comes to behaviour change and using its skills, creativity and influence as a force for good. They also recognised that many of the traditional marketing tools and frameworks focus purely on commercial performance, and no consideration for environmental and societal performance - and so set out to bridge that vital gap with the development of their Sustainable Marketing Compass, a strategic framework that supports marketers step-by-step to reframe, rethink and reorientate marketing - driving creativity and innovation back into the heart of marketing. There's so much good stuff covered in this episode - it's bursting with insight, enthusiasm, passion and useful takeaways. We talk about the parallels of digital transformation, about brand and disconnection, what marketing was, has become and what sustainable marketing is and most certainly isn't. There are some great examples shared around how marketers and brands are already rethinking their approach - getting out of treading water in the sea of sameness of performance or activated marketing, and instead or alongside, building solutions and services that truly consider the needs and painpoints of audiences, whilst differentiating and innovating. We also touch on the impact of ‘brainprint' - and how brands and marketers, need to consider the end to end societal and environmental impact of their campaigns and messaging - and how new benchmarks and measures of success need to be ingrained for healthier outcomes all round. Leading us to a key point of how sustainable marketing isn't about marketing a sustainable message, but rather embedding sustainability into every single marketing decision and impact. As the smart duo shares… “It's going to take radical transformation to make sustainable marketing work… start thinking properly transformational and properly innovative.” It's challenging but exciting times for marketers for sure - tune into this wonderfully insightful conversation… lots to learn - and be sure to go check out their Sustainable Marketing Compass to get started with your strategic planning.
