In episode 6 Andrew talks to Jeremy Oppenheim, co-founder and senior partner at systems-change company SYSTEMIQ, about the new leadership required to set a sustainable course for global industry.

SYSTEMIQ is a B-Corporation dedicated to accelerating delivery of the Paris Agreement and UN Sustainable Development Goals by partnering with business, finance, policy-makers and civil society to make economic systems truly sustainable. It combines high-level research with high-impact, on-the-ground work. SYSTEMIQ describes itself as a “think-and-do tank that sparks good disruptions and operates with purpose at our core”.

SYSTEMIC builds coalitions, incubates new ventures with the potential to benefit people and the planet, mobilises large-scale capital for climate action and the SDGs, and evolves new sustainable business models that will outperform the old. From helping to turn the tide of ocean plastics, to creating businesses that safeguard Indonesia’s rainforest, SYSTEMIQ is reshaping the connections between economic and natural systems.

Says Jeremy: “I look at what’s going on with climate, with Covid, with challenges we have on the UN Sustainable Development goals, as a tremendous moment where we can learn to do things differently.”
