Sustainability legend John Elkington on the triple bottom line | S5 Ep.10
Show Notes

We've been looking forward to this one...

This week, Will and Tom are joined by one of the founders of the sustainability movement, the great John Elkington.

A founding partner and chief pollinator at Volans, and also the co-founder of ENDS (Environmental Data Services), John talks about the triple bottom line (people, planet and prosperity) vision, and why this ended up being recalled and revised.

Plus, John talks about the joint responsibility of younger and older generations when it comes to sustainability.

And John takes an interest in Will’s model spitfire in his office, telling an awesome story of his father flying planes during the war.

Plus much, much more!

We hope you enjoy the episode!
