The Net Zero Business Podcast

And after our August compilation episodes of the Net Zero Business Podcast, we are back with a bang in the form of Jasper Steinhausen, author of Making Sustainability Profitable, aimed at Small and Medium Sized Enterprises in the manufacturing sector. I felt a real meeting of minds as we compare and contrast Jasper's sustainability sweetspot with mine and delve into mindsets, unleashing creativity and the circular economy. Almost everything Jasper says is not only very wise but eminently quotable and I thoroughly enjoyed re-listening during the production process.If you want to take up Jasper's special offer of one of three gifts then click here.
