Rajeev Peshawaria’s interaction with Teymoor Nabili on Peshawari’s book “Sustainable Sustainability” is extremely informative and sheds light on the imminent need for businesses/companies to not only work towards making profit but invest in implementing sustainable solutions for the greater good of our planet. His annecdotes of case studies of Faber Castell, Tata and Mars Confectionery make a case enough for other companies to step up and take ownership of the health of our planet. I look forward to read the book now to understand more about what can we do on our part to save our planet. What’s worthy of appreciation is that Peshawari and his team has spent time with many such companies to understand their ways of working towards a sustainable planet. He speaks of an 80-20 rule that intrigued me the most and I surely look forward to being one of the 20% who make a difference.

This podcast was an eye-opener for me. It helped me understand how crucial businesses are in the drive towards sustainability. At the beginning of the podcast, Rajeev pops a question - in the top 100 economies in the world, how many of them were countries and how many were companies? This really forced me to think, and I came up empty. Imagine, to my shock, the answer is 69. No wonder, businesses have to step up to their bit in protecting our climate. I was surprised to know the businesses who are contributing to climate protection are profitable. Rajeev mentions about these businesses, and he has also done detailed case studies on them in his book. What makes these businesses stand out is that they go above and beyond the bare minimum required for climate protection. I will surely check out his book and read more about these companies.

The podcast ‘Sustainable Sustainability’ by Rajeev Peshawaria gives a good insight about how and why businesses are the key to solving environmental problems. Peshawaria’s insightful discussion is that sustainability is not just a greening process but, it is a process of balancing profit, people, and planet.

Another thing that I found very appealing about the pod cast is that Peshawaria does not beat around the bush but gets straight to the point. He gives practical case studies from firms such as Faber Castell, Tata, and Mars Confectionery to show how firms can incorporate sustainable solutions in their operations and at the same time, be profitable. His explanation of the 80/20 rule where a few companies are at the forefront of sustainability is an effective way of encouraging other companies to do the same.

Peshawaria’s style of presenting information in the podcast is very practical and easy to understand, but at the same time informative for both novices and experienced listeners who are interested in the topic of sustainability. His strategy encourages companies to look at sustainability not as an expense, but as an opportunity to gain a competitive edge, and be both profitable and environmentally friendly.

In general, Sustainable Sustainability is an interesting and enlightening podcast that offers much-needed guidance for companies that aim to change the world for the better while being successful in the business world. Peshawaria’s analysis of the issues and his real-life examples make this a valuable listen for anyone who wants to know more about sustainability and corporate social responsibility.

I had really enjoyed reading the book featured in the podcast - Sustainable Sustainability, which was filled with plethora of ideas on how to really take a step forward towards ESG on a whole company level from the grassroots, i.e. people and values. The author, in order to broach and inform people on the topics covered in the book, brought this idea of a podcast to life, which is an excellent idea.

I enjoyed listening to the first episode, where the author Rajeev Peshwaria briefly describes the core principles explained in detail with case studies in his book. I felt the same energy brought to life from the book, even bringing back the example of plantation of trees by Faber Castell for future generation's sustainability focus.

The highlight is the author brings back the focus on people rather than putting up a concept in a tutorial fashion, as knowledge transfer happens from person to person via word of mouth. I am really looking forward to listening to further episodes.

I'm from Jamshedpur, the steel city, and hearing its name mentioned in the first episode fills me with pride. My father dedicated 33 years to Tata Steel, a company known for prioritizing its employees. Growing up in a community shaped by their sustainability efforts, I’ve seen firsthand how much a society benefits from it. The podcast ‘sustainable sustainability’ is a must listen as it finally puts forward an issue that should have been up for discussion decades ago.

This was my first time listening to a podcast, and I really enjoyed it. As a management student, sustainability isn't new to me, but the discussion in this first episode gave me a fresh perspective. The ideas and surprising facts made me realize that sustainability also involves addressing inequalities. Mr. Robert's thought, “the more you give, the more you get,” made me reflect on how giving back is often missing in both our lives and sustainability efforts in general. This episode has now inspired me to explore the book for more insights as well.

This podcast is a discussion of the book Sustainable Sustainability. Having read the book I found the podcast truly engaging and informative. In this episode the author talks about Steward leadership which was something new I learned from the book. He talks about how businesses can not only survive but thrive by tackling environmental and social issues. It's like a two-for-one deal: do good for the planet, and watch your bottom line grow. The podcast sounds promising, and I look forward to listening to more episodes to gain insights from thought leaders in the field.

I would be surely recommending this podcast to all my colleagues especially the ones who work as part of facilities management. Like in our organisation, in canteen disposable plates, cutlery, glass, cups are not allowed. Extending it further to stopping the sale of food like dahi or chaas in one time use container would aid it further. This podcast does exactly that, enables us and businesses to further become more sustainable

What I liked best about the talk was that it not only highlighted the concerns but also presented actual answers and real-world examples of firms that are leading the way in corporate responsibility making it the ideal blend of theory and practice.
The analysis of how governments may encourage innovation through values-based education and legislation was a nice addition, providing a comprehensive vision of the path to sustainability. It gave me more optimism for the future of sustainability and the practical steps we can take to get there.

I just listened to this amazing podcast by Rajeev Peshawaria and I'm still thinking about it! He talks about how important businesses are in helping our planet. I was surprised to learn that most of the top economies in the world are actually companies, not countries! It makes sense that they have a big role to play in protecting our climate. Rajeev shares stories of companies that are doing great things for the environment and still making money. He shows that being sustainable isn't just the right thing to do, it's also good business. What I love about this podcast is that it's not just for experts. Rajeev explains things in a way that's easy to understand, so anyone can listen and learn. He's passionate about helping businesses make a positive impact and it's inspiring to listen to. I highly recommend it!

So I just started listening to podcast and this is my first podcast review of Sustainable Sustainability by Rajeev Peshawaria. What I liked most was how Rajeev made it clear that sustainability isn’t just about helping the environment—it’s about balancing profits, helping people and protecting the planet all at once. The real life examples of Tata and Faber Castell show how they make sustainability a part of their business while still making profits. Highly recommended podcast especially for business students and aspiring entrepreneurs.

Rajeev Peshawaria’s sustainable sustainability brings about his thought on how working sustainably in today’s world is important! He talks about how companies should innovate. He believes failing 8 times out of 10 times while innovating is a normal. He brings into light the stewardship leadership. For someone like me being in a medical field, sustainability also comes along while using medicine especially antibiotics. Sustainability while prescribing drugs is of at-most importance. The podcast is easy to follow and simple to understand.

I really enjoyed listening to my first podcast. It was very thought-provoking and insightful, discussing topics such as inequality in economic growth and the importance of mindfulness for a sustainable environment. My favorite part was the discussion about Ratan Tata, who has always been my role model. Even without using him as an example, I knew he possesses all four qualities: interdependence, long-term view, ownership mentality, and creative resilience, contributing to the profitable growth of his company even after 150 years.
After listening to the podcast, I am intrigued to learn more about Ed Van Dyne and his methods of converting plastic to ammonia.

This is such an insightful podcast. The interaction between these two people is simply enlightening. The core essence of businesses focusing on sustainability alongside growth and economic success is very very important and it's a surprise that despite examples of brands doing this being more successful, how are more companies not doing this... Anyone who's interested in a sustainable future while cultivating their own business of some sort, this podcast is a must. The examples of so many gigantic companies following a sustainable approach is definitely something I didn't expect. Great, great episode!

I came across this podcast and I found it really informative. The podcast explains the need for businesses to be sustainable and how they can do so without affecting their profitability. The examples of Tata and Faber-Castell about their way they have integrated sustainable business practices as a part of their mission statement, were really interesting. The discussion about the qualities of sustainable businesses and how the future of businesses lies in focusing on the society rather than on profits, was the highlight of the podcast for me. Highly recommended.

The loop hole causing delayed success in achieving the desired environmental upgrade is discussed majorly referring to why even incentivising isn't actually bringing the result. A thought provoking session. The topic is viewed from a very unique angle, considering how corporates play a major role in bringing the change we tend to see.

The podcast was really informative. When I heard about Tata on the podcast, I had a moment of epiphany because I had visited Tatanagar a.k.a. Jamshedpur a few months back, and in total twice this year. While there, I noticed 2 things: first being the fact that Tatanagar is actually covered with factories and sectors of Tata. Even though there are other companies and establishments as well, Tata outnumbers them by a considerable margin. I had visited a unit of Tata Power and one of their power generation plants as a part of my industrial training. The second thing that I noticed there was how green the area was. We don't normally expect industrial areas to be such, but it was wonderful to see industries co-existing with nature harmoniously. Now I realise that it's all credit of Tata's efforts towards sustainability.

It was amazing to listening this informative podcast that how the industries and environment can actually live together in harmony and one of the things that caught my attention in a big way was the way he stresses that sustainability is not merely an environmental issue but rather a triad of profit making, people development and protection of the ecosystem and there were discussions on Tata for describing it clearly. I love the way of describing sustainability with real life example.

We have known about sustainability almost all our lives, but very few people actually understand how to apply it properly in our lives. This podcast by Rajiv Peshwariya is your answer to everything related to the topic. He explains the concept well with famous examples such as the tata group on how you can work in harmony with the environment and protect nature while doing your best for your business. He explained that sustainability is not just about the environment; it is about the shortcomings in our whole system and how we should overcome them.

The corporates need to understand that only a healthily sustained population can be a good consumer base. The podcast highlights the role that corporates need to play and Rajeev insightfully highlights how prominent corporations like the Tata Group are making conscious sustainable efforts to save the environment. The podcast is easy to follow is not too fact-heavy and can be tuned into as a comfort listening as well. The harmony between industry and environment is important to achieve and it is high time that we take active efforts in that regard. Excited to listen to the conversation in the upcoming episodes. All the best Rajeev!

Such an informative and thought provoking podcast. That income inequality scenario left me shell-shocked. Everything was to the point, but the most precious thing he said, according to me, is that "we don't have the luxury of time anymore." Another important segment was the economic dominance between countries and companies. Environmental and social sustainability can't be left for government and society alone. It hit me quite literally in the face. There's no alternative to Mother Earth. Everything can wait; our mother Earth cannot.

It offers a good insight on the engaging aspects of balancing profit and loss, social responsibility, and environmental protection in business. The author presents the concept of “Steward Leadership”; he explains how organizations can benefit by addressing the environmental and social issues. It discussed how sustainable strategies and actions can help companies to create a long-term value that benefit all stakeholders. The author also discusses the expectations from governments in nurturing values for sustainable education and when supported by laws, provide stimulus for innovation. The podcast will be equally beneficial to any business student or any person willing to start his or her own business as the podcast allows understanding better how sustainability and business success coexist. It comes highly recommended for anyone wanting to hear useful information and ideas to consider on the topic of sustainable business and responsible business.

Episode one is set in the backdrop of Steward Leadership and industrial sustainability and sets the scene for further episodes. As always Mr. Peshwaria has included real world examples of companies showing Steward leadership and has highlighted their importance. The podcast in itself has a peaceful tone, and isn't rushed. I barely had to go back to hear again. I'll be listening to the other episodes ASAP.
