When nature has a voice in business

What happens when Nature is given a voice, and a vote, in business? In this Transforming Business podcast episode, Martin Parker speaks with Simeon Rose, author of ‘Nature’s Boardroom’, about how businesses can embed ‘Nature governance’ into their organisations. They discuss Faith In Nature and their decision to appoint Nature to its board of directors, the challenges and insights gained, and why more companies should follow suit. Simeon Rose is Brand Director at Faith In Nature and Co-creator of Nature on the Board. Find out more about the book at: https://bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/...
