I have two firsts in this Karmic Capitalist episode.
First, Harriet is the first CBE to deign to accept my humble invitation to be a guest on our podcast!
Second, she is also the first guest who leads a charity to guest on this show.
Why a charity on he Karmic Capitalist? What has that got to do with businesses?
Simple. The challenges we're facing go cross all sectors of society. And the only way for us to address those challenges is for organisations of ALL types - companies, charities, government - to align and collaborate.
Harriet's charity, Ashden, focuses on two areas to enable that to happen. First, they amplify the good work of organisations tackling the environmental crisis - regardless of which sector - to help promote best practice and innovation.
Second, they act as a hub to facilitate collaboration across sectors to magnify impact.
If you run an SME and are serious about playing a positive role in tackling climate change, Harriet charts a critical path to partnerships you should be looking at to magnify your impact.
Harriet's personal journey, taking in leading Fairtrade International and a plethora of other roles at the coalface, means that she's seen first hand the tight coupling between issues of social justice and climate change. She generously shares what she's seen and heard - conversations with farmers in Tanzania to hairdressers, high tech startups and film production in the West. Her stories bring home the very direct impact we can choose to have if we engage.
Listen in for an inspiring perspective.
_______________
I host a weekly online workshop with CEOs of SMEs (10 to 100 employees approx) about scaling up, allowing them to step back and do more strategic work, and doing it in line with their values. Max 6 per session so we can have a real conversation.
If you'd like to join me, find a date that works for you here. They aren't charged for - you and I will both get value from the conversation.
Only CEOs / MDs apply - strictly peer-level conversation.
