BLUE EARTH SUMMIT: Transforming the Way the World Works
In today’s episode, we delve into the inspiring journey of Blue Earth, co- founded by our guest, Guy Hayler. During the lockdown, Guy and his business partners Will Lindley and his brother Will Hayler believed in the transformative connection between nature and business, which led them to launch Blue Earth – a series of impact-driven business events designed to drive systemic change.
We’ll explore how Blue Earth quickly gained traction despite initial uncertainties, their diverse event offerings like the Blue Earth Summit and Impact Investment Forum, and their commitment to aligning businesses with the Sustainable Development Goals. Guy also shares insights on their mission to raise £1 billion for businesses driving systemic change, the importance of storytelling in fostering action, and the unique networking experiences they create through their events.
Join us as we uncover the power of innovation, the role of corporates in sustainability, and the inspiring vision of creating a sustainable future through impactful business practices. Whether you’re a startup, a corporate leader, or an environmentally conscious listener, this episode promises to be both informative and inspiring!
