Sustainability - from origins to opportunities
Named one of the ‘Top 32 ESG pioneers in the UK’, Stuart McLachlan has over 30 years of experience; Stuart is the CEO of Anthesis, a global sustainability company he founded in 2013, and with over 1,400 passionate team members, they support many FTSE 100 and Fortune 500 companies.
In this conversation, Stuart discusses the evolution of sustainability from primarily environmental concerns to encompassing social and governance issues as well. He emphasises the interconnectedness of environmental and social challenges, citing the impact of regulations like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) on driving businesses towards more responsible practices.
One of my favourite parts of the conversation is where Stuart advocates for businesses to "emotionally divest from old models to embrace both the challenges and opportunities of this new era." -

Customer Reviews
Wisdom and insight exactly as needed
Shereen provides wisdom and insight exactly as needed, at a time when there is so much noise, polarity and argument. Discussion and action are the way forward and Shereen certainly walks her talk. She’s a lighthouse to guide the way in a very stormy sea.
Honesty!
Hey Shereen, it is always so nice to listen to your thoughts on this subject because of how real and honest you are. Just the other day I was speaking to my therapist and the exact words I used when asked to describe the feelings I had about certain situations at work which were anger, disappointment, guilt for not doing more, letting things happen and not standing up for myself or others. And hear you are in your first podcast saying the exact same thing. You always keep things 100 and I could not thank you enough for you stepping into your truth and for unapologetically sharing your thoughts. I am hear for it!!! And encourage anyone who would like to understand more, or those who feel alone in the struggle, to sign up.
