Jeremy Schwartz, Chair of Kantar's Sustainable Transformation Practice and former leader at The Body Shop, Sainsbury's, and Pandora, explores the role businesses play in shaping society and tackling pressing challenges beyond mere profit-making. They must have a responsibility to a wider group of stakeholders.

From lessons learned across industries, hear why Jeremy believes that the climate crisis can only be effectively addressed through innovation in the private sector, while regulation and governments lag behind. He discusses the common pitfalls of compliance and regulation, urging companies to see sustainability as a competitive advantage rather than a checkbox. Sustainability will emerge as the biggest growth engine if you seize the opportunity.

Jeremy and Rajeev discuss the importance of a more supportive culture in business. Assuming positive intent and embracing incremental progress will foster a collaborative environment to incubate new ideas. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that challenges the status quo and inspires businesses to lead the charge toward a sustainable future.
