From their views on the SDGs to what gets them out of bed in the morning, the interviewees that enter the green room will provide you with the insight and inspiration you need to keep doing business better.

The first batch ‘in the green room’ episodes feature BT’s Gabrielle Ginér, Carillion’s David Picton, LandSec’s Sarah Beattie, InterContinental Hotels’ (IHGs) Kate Gibson, Unilever’s Tony Dunnage, ex-BT sustainability officer Niall Dunne, Whitbread’s James Pitcher, Ball Corp’s Ramon Arratia and AB InBev’s Tony Milikin and Ezgi Barcenas.

During the conversation, Wright sheds light on Pernod Ricard’s new sustainability strategy, launched today (3 April) and discusses how each brand for the company has had to tailor a unique approach to sustainability.
