Building Forever - Climate Action
Listen now
Description
In this episode, we find out how we’re tackling climate change and nature loss from those who are leading by example. Because while we’re already acting to minimise our operational carbon footprint, everyone has a part to play in moving from words to deeds and adopting more sustainable behaviours.    We speak to Elmarie Snyman, Sustainability Officer at Namdeb – Oranjemund, Charlotte Johns, Sustainability Integration Manager, and Alice Kgopana, Safety and Sustainability Manager, Diamond Trading – Botswana, about how they’re making change happen locally while supercharging our efforts across the Group.   Ethical practice, thriving communities, equal opportunity and the natural world are topics teeming with questions – and if you’ve got one for us, we’d love to hear from you.
