We had the pleasure of hosting our dynamic guest speaker, Georgia Elliott-Smith, Element Four's Managing Director. In this episode, we explore the hidden narrative of sustainability consulting and the importance of disruptive practices that enact meaningful and systemic change. Georgia shares how she got into this space and sheds light on the lucrative salaries and perks offered by big business to sustainability consultants. She touches on the critical role of corporate activism in holding profit-driven corporations accountable and discusses the importance of calling out greenwashing. We delve deeper into challenging the status quo and paving the way for a new model of sustainability management that prioritises the planet's well-being over business interests. We discuss the need for dedicated planet-serving roles that disrupt the norm and lead us to a brighter, more sustainable future. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/modernidealist/message
