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." -
