OM DENNE EPISODE
The advertising industry has been hugely effective in driving the growth that has contributed to the climate crisis we now face and is instrumental in creating unsustainable consumption. In this episode we meet the agents of change within the industry who seek to catalyse advertising's climate transition towards halving emissions by 2030. They call themselves Purpose Disruptors and their vision is an advertising industry transformed in service to a thriving future.
