The Sustainable Business Covered podcast: Episode 08 – Sustainability without the fluff

Sustainable Business Covered: Episode 08 – Sustainability without the fluff

The edie editorial team brings you the latest news, insights and inspiration from the world of sustainable business with this eighth episode of the Sustainable Business Covered podcast. (Download on iTunes here).

On this week’s episode, edie reporter George returns to the studio after a two-week holiday to catch up on some of the major news stories and events he missed.

While George was away, senior reporter Matt paid a visit to the London showroom of the world’s largest carpet tile manufacturer, Interface, grabbing exclusive interviews with the firm’s co-innovation partner Jon Khoo and sustainability director Ramon Arratia (resulting news story here).

Then, Matt moved across the capital for an in-depth discussion with James Pitcher, corporate social responsibility director at the UK’s largest hotel, restaurant and coffee shop operator Whitbread. In this sustainability skills-focussed interview, Pitcher provides us with his top tips on communicating CSR initiatives with both internal and external stakeholders.

The usual podcast features complete this week’s episode, with Matt offering his top picks from his ‘green innovation of the week‘ feature series, and George analysing his stand-out ‘sustainability success story’ of the past seven days.
