S1 Ep3: John Elkington

What does it take to be a leader in a world where climate change turns capitalism inside out?   In this episode Alannah speaks with John Elkington, a world authority on corporate responsibility and one of the founders of the global sustainability movement. As the Co-Founder and Chief Pollinator at Volans, he works closely with governments and business leaders to achieve transformational change.   John has been a central voice on these issues for more than four decades and has written 20 books on the subject, including the bestselling Green Consumer Guide and his latest book Green Swans: The Coming Boom in Regenerative Capitalism.   John talks to Alannah about the kind of leadership we’ll need for businesses to become part of the solution to climate change, and to be better businesses as a result.
