• The connection between Sustainability and employee engagement
• Reducing the data/reporting burden
• AI: risks and opportunities

It's that time of year to have a look back at the previous 12 months and reflect on what has happened in the world of Sustainability. I'm joined by James Murray, Editor in Chief of Business Green and Lucy Siegle (The One Show, books, magazine articles, podcasts and more), and we try not to just scream into the void in despair, but pick over the pieces of 2025 to find a way forward for the Sustainability movement in the face of a wave of populism. We also pick our heroes and villains of 2025 and look forward to what might unfold in 2026.

One of my favourite quotes comes from Mike Monteiro: "the world is not broken, it is working exactly how we designed it to." To discuss how to redesign the world along Sustainable lines, I'm joined by Vicky Lofthouse of EN:ABLE Sustainability to chew over the power of design, how to drive innovation, the role of product-service systems, industrial symbiosis and so much more. Vicky tells me "context is key", we need to work with the existing situation, not against it.

This week, I'm joined by Duncan Peake, CEO of Raby Estates, to talk about Sustainability and land management. We cover a huge range of topics, including Green tourism, regenerative farming, peat upland management, forestry, retrofitting heritage buildings – all the things that are involved in running a large estate. One cross-cutting theme is that the various stakeholders involved – employees, tenant farmers, local authorities – are driving this agenda forward proactively rather than needing much persuading, which is highly encouraging!

This is the 104th episode of the Net Zero Business Podcast, making it our second birthday! To be honest, I wasn't expecting for it to go on so long, I originally started doing the interviews to get content for an as yet unwritten book and thought, hey, it's 2023, why not put them out as a podcast? The pod took over!

This time last year, I listed 5 lessons I'd learnt from the first year of the pod. This time, I review those 5 and add 5 more from year 2.
