About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be joined by Dr. Samantha Green, an expert in sustainable business practices and the lead instructor for the Postgraduate Certificate in Sustainable Business Planning. Dr. Green, welcome! GUEST: Thank you for having me! I'm excited to discuss sustainable business planning with your audience. HOST: Fantastic! Let's dive right in. Can you share a bit about your personal experiences that led you to focus on sustainable business planning? GUEST: Absolutely! I've always been passionate about the environment, and while working in the corporate sector, I noticed a significant gap in incorporating sustainability into business strategies. This inspired me to pursue a career in academia and help professionals integrate ESG factors into their operations. HOST: That's a powerful motivation. Now, let's talk about current industry trends. What are some key developments in sustainable business planning? GUEST: There's growing interest in circular economy principles and life cycle assessments. Businesses are recognizing the potential for financial gains while minimizing waste and reducing their environmental footprint. HOST: That sounds promising! However, there must be challenges when it comes to implementing sustainable practices. Can you share some of these challenges and possible solutions? GUEST: Certainly. Resistance to change and a lack of understanding about the benefits of sustainability are common barriers. Education and demonstrating the financial benefits of sustainable practices can help overcome these challenges. HOST: It's crucial to shift the mindset. Looking towards the future, where do you see sustainable business planning heading? GUEST: I believe sustainable business planning will become the norm as more companies realize the long-term benefits. Climate change regulations and consumer preferences for eco-friendly products will also drive this shift. HOST: It's an exciting time for those committed to sustainability. Thank you, Dr. Green, for sharing your insights and experiences about the Postgraduate Certificate in Sustainable Business Planning. GUEST: My pleasure!
