Why Sustainability Matters:
Sir Tim Smit, Jamie Laing and Tessa Wernink at Bristol’s Blue Earth Summit

18th November 2022

When it comes to sustainability, business leaders know there is only one solution – to do more. It’s not a question of if they should act, it’s how. How can their company respond to shifting societal expectations? How can they keep pace with the latest environmental trends? How can they be more open and accountable, reduce waste and cut emissions?

These are just some of the questions GDS Group presenter Alex Wood posed at the Blue Earth Summit, a leading business and climate change conference held in Bristol. He spoke to Sir Tim Smit, co-founder of the Eden Project, TV personality and entrepreneur Jamie Laing and activist Tessa Wernink about what motivates them to make a difference.

Discussion points:

  • What does it mean to be purpose-driven?
  • Who is responsible for championing sustainability at a business?
  • How can leaders empower employees to make a difference?
