    7 | A 101 on ESG: What it is and why it can help pave the future for organisations and the environment

    When you think of ESG, what comes to mind? It's not about celebrating the Earth once a year, or talking about recycling. It's a lot of work and requires organisations to take more action into addressing each ESG pillar. Welcome back onto the Perspective Pioneers Podcast! We welcome the new week with a new topic (and one I am quite passionate about) - Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)! In this episode, Angela introduces ESG and how it is different - but also related - to sustainability, why organisations and their shareholders/investors should care about it, and what the three pillars actually mean! If there is a Wolf of Wall Street ESG Edition, you can certainly find Angela here in this fun-fact, insightful episode. Thank you for listening, and stay tuned for the next episode! Podcast features: Perspective Pioneers (this poddy!)

    6 | Spotlighting sustainability and the supply chain in the fashion industry - with Milly Graham

    Fashion is a way of expressing ourselves and plays a significant role in our lives - so why don't we treat it as responsibly as we should? Welcome back onto the Perspective Pioneers Podcast! Today's episode marks a huge milestone - we have our first ever podcast guest on! Please welcome Milly Graham! Milly is a dedicated sustainable fashion stylist and enthusiast. She devotes her time committing to help slow down fast fashion, and presents different ideas on how we can wear our clothes for every occasion; without the necessary needs to purchase more. Angela and Milly attended the Ethical Clothing Australia (ECA) x Fashion Revolution panel event: 'Who made my clothes... in Australia?' - moderated by sustainability advocate, podcast host and author, Claire Press. Both speakers discuss more about the panel, giving their perspectives on the environmental and social impacts as a result of the concerning supply chain operations and conditions faced by vulnerable garment workers. It was a privilege to have Milly on as our first guest and we greatly look forward to hearing your thoughts. You can follow Milly and her sustainable fashion content and ideas over on her Instagram (@mlygrhm)!

    Welcome back onto the Perspective Pioneers Podcast! Also, it only had just occurred to Angela that today (22/4/2024) is Earth Day! And how funny that this episode is all about OUTSIDE Earth. You can learn more about Earth Day here. In this short 'tidbit-y' episode, Angela digs further into the concept of growing plants and greenery in outer space, including on the moon. She shares the fascinating facts and research from two articles: LaTrobe University 'Growing plants on the moon' NASA - Growing plants in space We greatly look forward to your insights and we shall speak to you soon in the next episode.

    4 | The impact of the cocoa beans industry: Sustainability challenges and opportunities

    Welcome back onto the Perspective Pioneers Podcast! Have you noticed that chocolate and confectionary prices are surging? That's most likely because of the conditions and current impacts of the cocoa bean industry, where the cocoa bean is the main ingredient for the chocolate-y sweets we consume. This is an interesting industry we look further into and our host Angela talks us through the economic, environmental and human impacts of why the cocoa bean industry is the way it is today. However, we take a turn and discuss further into what we can do to change the industry and raise awareness for the people and environment behind it. We greatly look forward to your insights and we shall speak to you soon in the next episode. Bye! See below the links/research mentioned and thanks for listening. Chat soon!

    3 | Sustainability in the film and screen industries: How sustainability and community development initiatives are implemented

    Welcome back on the Perspective Pioneers Podcast! Firstly, I would just like to say thank you so much for supporting the launch of the podcast! We finally spread the word out there into the universe and we are so grateful! After attending the Melbourne Women in Film Festival (MWFF), our host Angela Veljanoska felt like she needed to raise awareness of sustainability in the film and screen industries. We speak on quite a bit about the social and environmental impacts that occur before, during and after production, as well as an interesting example of a well known movie (hint: a movie about spiders, but not directly) that was produced by a famous film production company that implemented some grand sustainable initiatives to achieve net zero. Afterwards, we raise a bigger discussion on the importance of recognising Indigenous filmmakers communicating their stories in creative ways through film and other mediums. This was such an interesting episode to research and record and I greatly look forward to hearing your insights. See below the links/research mentioned and thanks for listening. Chat soon!

    2 | Change agents at International Women's Day: Addressing period poverty and recognising Indigenous foods

    Welcome back on the Perspective Pioneers Podcast! In this episode, I recap on a recent International Women's Day event held at Hotel Chadstone, organised by Monash Business School. This was a full circle moment for me as this was the same school I attended for my Bachelor's degree! Throughout this event, I was able to network with many fellow sustainability experts and heard from two exceptional speakers in the space. I introduce in the episode Rochelle Courtney - Founder and Managing Director at Share the Dignity, and Mindy Woods - Owner and Operator at Karkalla Byron Bay. This episode contains two completely different topics - what a way to begin the podcast journey! But in saying that, they both are quite significant in today's world and I am excited to be speaking more about how Share the Dignity are working to address period poverty and empowering people who menstruate; and how Mindy Woods is paving the way for representation for Indigenous peoples in agriculture and hospitality industries.
