WTF even are climate-related disclosures? Listen up for the low-down on what they're all about, as well as the big news out of Australia on them, and how this could impact your business here in NZ.

Also, find out why we love Reefton Distilling Co. (It's not just 'cause they make gin and whiskey but if it was, that would be okay... nope, it's about them becoming a B Corp.)

Where on earth do you start on your sustainability journey if you're a typical business that hasn’t a clue but just wants to be better?

In this episode, Millie and Tam tell you where to go for guidance as you . From the free tool that is the B Impact Assessment for B Corp certification (anyone can use it for free, you don't need to certify as a B Corp) to the Starter for Ten guide from the Centre for Sustainable Finance and KPMG and the Business, But Better free education hub for ethical entrepreneurs.

Ultimately though, a great way to start is by just gathering your whole team together and saying, 'we want to be a business that values people and planet, where do you think we should start? How can we be better?' because engaging and including the team is key.

WTF even is sustainability?! What does it mean? Where did it come from? Why should I care... and so much more. Sustainability has become a bit of a buzz word and some people even find it triggering. But why is it a 'thing'? How did we get to this point? What's B Corp got to do with it and what the flip are the Sustainable Development Goals when they're at home?

In this, the first ever episode of newborn radio show Sustainability Demystified, environmental scientist Millie Taylor and B Corp consultant Tamara Pitelen discuss the background and birth of the sustainability movement and why it's important we all start paying attention.
