My Green Podcast

Switching to a green pension is the most significant individual thing we can do if we want to fight for a safe and equitable future.

We are in a crisis because the use of fossil fuels around the world is driving up carbon emissions and global temperatures.

We are trying to keep below a 1.5 degree increase in  warming – yet we are already at 1.2. We need to act at fast!

At COP28 nation states committed, for the first time, to a reduction of oil and gas. This is monumental, but as usual we were given no firm timeline or details with the commitment.

We need to do everything we can to be a solution to the biggest issue on the planet – and switching to a greener pension is a great place to start.

Our esteemed expert guests discuss this in detail so you can make up your mind and make the switch.

My Green Business Podcast Series hosted by Jarvis Smith and in collaboration with Fujitsu is out now!
Here  our experts discuss People and Purpose in the Workplace. Episode 4 

Net zero targets have been set and measurements have been put in place. Now what? For many organisations,
embedding sustainable targets beyond the corporate and management level is proving to be a challenge.
The strength of an organisation depends on its people – every employee has a role to play in supporting their
business to succeed. And the same can be said when comes to achieving net zero.
But with rising temperatures, global weather warnings and an increase in natural disasters, people are feeling
helpless. The climate crisis is overwhelming, so how can organisations support employees so they feel
empowered to drive change and reach decarbonisation targets?

Jarvis is joined by:
Sarah-Jane Littleford, Head of Responsible Business at Fujitsu
Gerry Lavin – Field Chief Technology Officer EMEA, Cloud Software Group
Clare Martin – Purpose, Climate and DE&I Curriculum Lead at NatWest Group
James Doyle, Head of Operations at Octopus Energy
