What does it mean to be a sustainable business? Transparency? Reporting on impact? Acting on your values? Maybe all three.
In this episode, Loes welcomes Paul Hargreaves, Founder of Cotswold Fayre: a business that really understands what it means to be socially sustainable — never forgetting the impact on people, not just the planet.
For a long time Cotswold Fayre has been helping independent retailers across the UK source top quality food and drink. But it’s also been setting an example.
Today, it’s recognised as one of the UK’s first B Corps and, much like its founder, remains truly charitable.
Join the author of Forces for Good & The Fourth Bottom Line as he talks to Loes about the importance of compassion and self-awareness in businesses.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- What it actually means to ‘lead with purpose’
- Why being B Corp is important
- How to reflect business values through actions if you’re not a B Corp
- Where to start when analysing your sustainable practices
- Advice on reporting
- What the fourth bottom line is
