In Part B we go back to where it all started. We discuss the “Roman Banquet” and the late night visit to a Sydney homeless shelter. Ronni explains how her good friend Selma’s introduction of electricity to Soweto led her to work out how she could have the most positive impact on other people’s lives. From that point on Ronni leads a repurposed life… just don’t ask her for a powerpoint presentation! Ronni also tells us how OzHarvest is evolving from food rescue to sustainability and education in an attempt to shift behaviour. Ronni’s perspectives on leadership are fascinating and she also talks to us about the next chapter, Purpose for Leadership – find out more by emailing [email protected]. The podcast is hosted by Co-Founder and CEO of Ethical Partners Funds Management, Matt Nacard.

Ronni is the founder and CEO of OzHarvest, Australia’s leading food rescue organisation. But what do you do when functions aren’t happening and restaurants can’t open, putting your business model at risk? You do what Ronni has always done – reimagine the way of working, motivate the team around you, inject endless energy and determination and turn the model on its head. During COVID OzHarvest has transformed itself into a business-to-consumer model, buying food for the first time, and supporting a broad base of disadvantaged people by delivering 52 million meals in the last 18 months. Incredible. The podcast is hosted by Co-Founder and CEO of Ethical Partners Funds Management, Matt Nacard. Part B out soon.

In Part B, Susan the CEO and Managing Director of Mirvac, talks all things sustainability explaining why the journey is not a straight forward one. Susan also talks about how the sustainability focus has changed within companies and investors. Not long ago, some asked Susan to talk “less” about these issues. Now it is evident that ESG issues are the responsibility of everyone, not just the sustainability specialists. Susan explains why setting difficult targets is critical, even if you don’t know how you will achieve them! Being bold can lead to outperforming expectations and Mirvac looks poised to achieve its Net Positive Carbon goal early. Susan also provides her outlook for residential apartments and has some fascinating advice she would give to her 21-year-old self.
