    Belinda Ng on Gen Z and Sustainability

    It's no surprise that Gen Z is the generation most engaged with climate issues. However, you might be surprised by the extent to which the climate is shaping the way Gen Z works. 59% of Gen Zs between the ages of 18 and 22 will stay longer with employers who are socially and environmentally responsible. And in Australia, young workers are leaving businesses which are not doing enough to respond to climate change. In this episode, I'm speaking to recent university graduate, founder of the SustainaPod podcast and sustainable food advocate Belinda Ng about the ways in which climate change has shaped her career goals. In this episode, we talk about: Eco Anxiety and what made her want sustainability to be part of her career trajectory;Her sustainable food advocacy;The goals behind the SustainaPod podcast;What Gen Z expect from brands;Dealing with burnout and long Covid;How partnerships are key to shaping conversations.

    Sasibai Kimis on Social Entrepreneurship and Re-defining Success

    Sasibai Kimis is the founder of Earth Heir, a social enterprise that helps artisans in marginalised communities develop sustainable income streams by using their traditional craftmanship to make beautiful bags and accessories.  In doing so, Earth Heir is also preserving traditional craftsmanship and techniques in Malaysia and beyond. The goal of Earth Heir, is to work themselves out of business.  If artisans have the skills they need to access markets for their products themselves, they are no longer reliant on intermediaries.  That’s the impact Earth Heir is creating.  They are almost like an incubator for Malaysian artisans.  They are also one of Malaysia’s first B-Corporations and are Fair Trade Certified. In this conversation, we talk about: Leaving a well-paid corporate career to start a social enterprise;The challenges that artisans face in accessing markets for their products;How Earth Heir is incorporating circularity into their business model;How Earth Heir measures their impact;Balancing social entrepreneurship with other life goals like marriage and family;Sasibai’s next project – developing a hub for sustainable businesses in Malaysia to collaborate and learn from eachother.
