Something slightly different this week – I recently stumbled on this old interview I did with Anthony Day for his now sadly defunct Sustainable Futures podcast. The only thing that had dated was the UK's renewable power generation (then 18% renewables, in 2022 40%), but the rest is just as applicable today as it was then.

Here's what we cover:

• How I got started in sustainability properly - my Road to Damascus moment
• How others can get started
• The business case for sustainability
• Sustainability leadership
• How to do employee engagement properly using my Green Jujitsu approach
• Integrating sustainability properly
• How the 80:20 rule can help you accelerate sustainability
