Working For Progress

Osbert Lancaster on Sustainability, Purpose, and Learning to Ask the Right Question


Listen Later

In this episode, Dani speaks with Osbert Lancaster, co-founder and director of Realise Earth, an organisation that helps managers and directors lead meaningful sustainability initiatives and reconnect people to the natural world.

Osbert's work is rooted in a simple but powerful distinction: the difference between asking "why should we do sustainability?" and "how can we do sustainability?" That shift, from reluctance to purposes, where real change begins, and it's what Realise Earth is built around.

He talks about the values at the heart of his work, and how his parents planted the seeds of what he cares about most. It's a conversation about living your beliefs through your work, and what it looks like when an organisation genuinely puts purpose at its centre.

A thoughtful conversation about sustainability, values, and the mindset that makes meaningful change possible.
