The focus on sustainability, along with ethical and environmental working practices, has become increasingly important for businesses of all sizes in recent years. In this episode, we explore sustainable development and ethical business practices in Essex with four inspiring guests. We highlight their significant contributions to sustainability and how they have effectively incorporated eco-friendly and ethical practices into their operations. Tune in to gain valuable inspiration and practical tips for driving positive environmental and social change in your own business endeavours.

First, Alex Holliman, Managing Director at Climbing Trees, speaks with our reporter Chris Penhall about the benefits of winning a 2024 King's Award in the 'Sustainable Development' category. He details the sustainable practices that led to this recognition for their Essex-based B Corp business.

Next, we hear from Portia Patel, Co-Founder of ESGmark, who shares her insights on the impact of Environmental, Social, and Governance standards and discusses how businesses can integrate these principles to drive sustainability and ethical practices.

Additionally, Chris Penhall talks with Joe Benton, Corporate Partnerships Manager at Essex Wildlife Trust, about the charity's work and how organisations of all sizes can make a real difference to the environment while supporting wildlife conservation efforts.

Finally, Jill Poet, CEO of the Organisation for Responsible Businesses, discusses how she has been guiding companies of all sizes toward ethical and sustainable practices for nearly 15 years.

The Essex Business Podcast will be taking a short break over the summer period, but we will return soon with another episode. Stay tuned.
