“If you were trying to find the perfect company to invest in, you’d never make a single decision. There are always trade offs.” Tom McGillycuddy and Matt Latham are Co-Founders of CIRCA5000, an impact investing app based in the UK.

“Biodiversity is finally getting a seat at the table.” Lorenzo Curci and Oliver Bolton are the co-founders of Earthly, a platform which helps businesses invest in nature. Alongside their team of entrepreneurs, engineers and scientists, they’ve come up with a world first biodiversity score which helps businesses better understand their impact on the world and gives them the confidence to invest in the right kind of projects. The pair tell host Laura Nesbitt why investing in nature provides so much more than just environmental benefits and discuss why it’s taken so long for governments to recognise that biodiversity needs a place in climate decisions.

“For me, being an able bodied, white, male I don’t have any barriers to accessing the ocean but it’s become clear that not everyone has that opportunity.”  Tom Kay is the founder of Finisterre, a Cornwall-based outdoor clothing brand which designs functional and sustainable products for those that share a love of the sea. Tom has long been committed to protecting the environment and the people that use it so we’re pleased to welcome him as a brand partner at this year’s Blue Earth Summit.  Tom tells host Laura Nesbitt why he’s so passionate about making the ocean accessible to everyone including through their involvement in the seasuit project which worked to create a full-coverage Seasuit and Hijab made from recycled sea waste.

“This crisis is not something that’s going to happen to somebody else, somewhere else, at some other time.”   Gail Bradbrook is a British activist and co-founder of the environmental social movement Extinction Rebellion. Gail believes that civil disobedience on a large scale can bring about the change that is needed. She explains why she believes we all have a role to play in building a better system and repairing some of the damage humans have caused to our planet.  In a powerful moment between Gail and host Laura Nesbitt, the pair also discuss the worrying theme of “forever chemicals”, which Gail says stay in our bodies and are passed onto babies through the placenta or breast milk.  Follow Gail on Twitter.  Find out more at www.blueearthsummit.com Follow Blue Earth Summit on Twitter Follow Blue Earth Summit on Instagram Follow Laura on Instagram What is the Blue Earth Summit?

Lizzie Daly is a Welsh wildlife biologist, broadcaster, filmmaker and conservationist who shares her research and adventures with thousands of social media followers. Lizzie says while platforms have the power to spread environmental messages to more diverse audiences, it’s important to be aware of the unintentional consequences of gathering beautiful content to share online.  She also discusses how academia and the media could work more collaboratively.

This week on the Blue Earth Podcast, we hear from British yachtswoman, journalist and sailing instructor Pip Hare. Pip grew up in a landlocked county in the UK but after getting a taste of sailing as a teenager she decided she would make it her career, whatever it took. Pip says as a young woman in a male-dominated sport it was a constant battle for opportunities. She says despite being only the 8th woman in history to complete the Vendée Globe round-the-world yacht race, the biggest mountain she had to climb was getting to the start line.  In a raw moment of honesty, Pip also opens up to host Laura Nesbitt about her decision not to have a family, and shares what drives her to protect our precious oceans.  Follow Pip on Twitter Find out more at www.blueearthsummit.com Follow Blue Earth Summit on Twitter Follow Blue Earth Summit on Instagram Follow Laura on Instagram What is the Blue Earth Summit?

Huw James calls himself a science communicator. His mission? To make science easy for everyone to understand. The native Welshman is also an accomplished film-maker, presenter and public speaker, as well as an educator, adventurer and a keen astronomer.  With Huw’s energy and enthusiasm for science, it’s no surprise that he’s taught classrooms from the Amazon jungle and the fissures of Iceland, but he tells host Laura Nesbitt we need evolution not a revolution when it comes to the way science is taught in schools. We also hear what drives Huw in his mission to protect our planet and why he believes science based research isn’t complete until it’s been effectively communicated.  Follow Huw on Twitter Find out more at www.blueearthsummit.com Follow Blue Earth Summit on Twitter Follow Blue Earth Summit on Instagram Follow Laura on Instagram What is the Blue Earth Summit?

Maxwell Ayamba is a journalist, academic and long-standing champion of countryside access for minority communities. In 1996, Maxwell arrived in the UK from Ghana after being awarded a scholarship to study journalism at Cardiff University. He went on to complete his Masters at Sheffield Hallam University and there he stayed as a research academic. In 2004, inspired by wanting to encourage other men to get out there and live a healthier, more active lifestyle, he co-founded the walking group, 100 Black Men Walking for Health (now called Walk4Health Group). Little did he know the impact it would have, it even inspired a play ‘Black Men Walking’ and led him to meet Joanna Lumley as part of her itv series Home Sweet Home. Maxwell’s passion is contagious and his knowledge is seemingly endless, host Laura Nesbitt chats to him about his story, access to the outdoors and gets a lot of book recommendations too!

Given the choice, most of us would opt for a relatively easy life pathway and if your family business was not involved in servicing the needs of the many, then even better. Not so for the Walker family. Not happy with setting up Iceland, Richard’s mum and dad also ran a fish and chip shop Thurs-Sat so when the day job finished, the evening shift began. That work ethic has moved down the tree and after pursuing a career in property away from the family business, Richard made the not-so-easy decision to roll his sleeves up and join the family fray. Iceland has taken a lead position on many issues around business and supply chain sustainability, and this is not done lightly or without controversy. Sticking a head above the parapet always brings fire, but the industry is lazy in general with business and consumers alike quite addicted to plastic. This lead approach from Iceland has moved the widely-accepted, mainstream positions round to Iceland’s way of thinking. Podcast host Laura Nesbitt relates her personal life touch points with Iceland retail and also the prodigious charitable actions by the retailer including with Surfers Against Sewage, Alzheimers Research and Sepsis Awareness.

At a time when studying for A Levels might be considered the most important moment in your education journey, Poppy is also in the middle of building a serious and high-profile activism career in the fight to highlight and solve climate change. From a young age she has had a strong voice and has naturally put herself forward to speak out about issues that matter. “I’ve always been the one at the front of the class, calling things out, but I think my activism has been rooted in feminism. I’ve always been called bossy or over-opinionated. Someone told me once I’d be more attractive if I was less opinionated. My mum said to me, sit down, google climate change. I learnt that climate justice is social justice and I saw this avenue where once again world leaders, let’s be honest are normally men, were continuing to neglect this fight for social justice.” Poppy is a pupil at Llanwern High School, Newport. She’s an ardent feminist and is a strong advocate for equality, social justice and human rights. She is also a passionate climate change activist and considers herself as an internationalist, believing countries should work together where beneficial. She has been recognised by energy company ScottishPower who compiled the Green Power List ahead of the United Nations COP26 Climate Change Conference. The list recognises innovators and leaders in business pioneering positive change.

Modern environment-driven organisations intend to lead the way with a revolutionary new ideology, an ideology that regenerative business practises should be the new norm. From a biodegradable bubble wrap substitution, to eco-friendly iced coffee production, new outlooks on sustainability mean traditional systems are to become a thing of the past.
