Ep2: Mike Barry "It's time for business to get off the fence"

Business sustainability has evolved way beyond it's roots in corporate social responsibility, and now demands an entirely new approach, an approach that many businesses and industries have yet to embrace.

For this episode of Climate Allies, Ali is joined by Mike Barry, a prominent corporate sustainability leader based in the UK and former Sustainability Director of Marks and Spencer.

Covering  everything from scope 3 emissions to social sustainability,  Ali and Mike discuss what corporate sustainability should look like today, why governance is key, what it takes to be a sustainability leader, and why it's time for business to get off the fence on climate action.
