Only Here for the Sustainable Beer with Emily Coon, St Austell Brewery

This episode covers two of my favourite topics, Sustainability and beer! Emily Coon of St Austell Brewery was recently designated one of edie's '30 under 30' Sustainability leaders and this chat will show why that was highly deserved. One of the most important points we cover is why change/influence skills are often called 'soft skills' when they are essential to making Sustainability happen – Emily jokes we should call them 'badass skills' instead. A truly joyous episode, particularly as Emily's journey started from a dark place. Emily's TEDx talk on the importance of so-called 'soft skills' can be seen here [https://tedxporthtowanwomen.co.uk/talks/emily-coon] – I highly recommend it.

Is British Industry Going Off-grid? with David Kipling, On-site Energy

If I said "going off grid", you'd probably think of crusty New Age Traveller types building their own home out of straw bales in some distant corner of the country. But behind all the jargon like Behind the Meter (BTM) energy and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) is a growing movement by some big energy intensive industries to break free of the constraints of the electricity grid (capacity, connection delays, transmission and policy costs) and move towards energy independence. David Kipling, CEO of On Site Energy, joins me to unpick the jargon, set out the business case and look at short term and long term trends.

Burn'em, Baby, Burnham, North Sea Realities and What's Up With the Oil Markets?

The Sustainability Show is our four-weekly review show. This one could be out of date very quickly when we find out who gets what job when Andy Burnham becomes UK Prime Minister next week. I run the rule over the likelihood of further North Sea exploitation and what it would mean for the industry, ponder why the oil markets don't seem bothered by the collapse in the US/Iran peace agreement and the need to teach change management to Sustainability people.

"You're Gonna Need a Greener Boat" with Ollie Taylor, Marine Futures

A whopping 90% of global trade is transported by sea - about 1.5tonnes per person on earth every year. This represents 3% of global emissions yet lies outside the Paris Agreement. This week on the pod, I'm joined by Ollie Taylor, Founder of Marine Futures, to talk all things maritime Sustainability, covering the decarbonisation of the global shipping trade, elite yacht racing and Ollie's specific interests in large leisure craft.
