The Net Zero Business Podcast

Lisa Conway, Interface, reflecting on Mission Zero and exploring Climate Take Back


Listen Later

In this week's podcast episode, I speak to Lisa Conway, VP Global Market Sustainability and 'Carbon Lover' about their iconic Mission Zero Sustainability Programme which finished in 2020 and its successor, Climate Take Back. I had the pleasure of working with Interface about 8 years ago, and I've never come across a business so committed to Sustainability or so prepared to change everything to get there – with some glee. I'm not exaggerating, they do things that most organisations would never conceive of, never mind consider. Can you tell I'm a fan?


Here's what we discuss:


• Lisa's own 'spear in the chest' moment

• The legacy of Mission Zero and how a zero target can stimulate radical action

• Climate Take Back, regenerative business and why we should learn to love carbon

• The Factory as a Forest concept and how it works in practice

• The importance of innovation and how features can cascade from premium products to the mainstream

• The importance of having fun


Here's the Factory as a Forest case study that Lisa refers to in the pod.
