In this episode, I’m breaking down the essential question every business deals with: “Why should we bother with sustainability?” From practical cost savings to strengthening team engagement, I cover how sustainable practices can make a real, lasting impact—not just for the planet but for business health too.
If you’re finding yourself stuck explaining the “why” of sustainability to your team or clients, this episode will give you relatable insights to help bridge that gap.
We’ll look at examples that shift sustainability from a “nice-to-have” to a “must-have,” building on the good practices that are likely already in place. I also share strategies on how to meet people where they are in their sustainability journey, fostering an honest, open culture that leads to real change.
Whether you’re all in on sustainability or just dipping your toes, there’s something here for everyone aiming to make a difference in today’s business landscape.
