Standing Up For The Planet Interview Series

We Don't Have Time
Una Terra

🎙️Standing Up For The Planet, the book, is now a videocast, brought to you by We Don't Have Time & Una Terra.

Today's episode features Leslie Johnston, CEO, Laudes Foundation. 🌍

Leslie tells us about her plane crash & how she helps big corporations turn around their business for the planet!

The fight for a better future requires radical change and cooperation between governments, NGOs, investors and businesses, as well as exponential technological innovation and new perspectives - in other words, nothing less than a miracle. Increasingly, this miracle is being made possible by leaders of all generations who have found the courage to act.

This book presents cases of sustainability, from small start-ups to large corporations, but above all it tells the stories of extraordinary women who have decided to dedicate their time and personal resources to saving the world. By embracing change, they have created value for all stakeholders at the table, including the planet we inhabit. Their stories demonstrate that this is not a battle we will win once and for all, but rather a journey in which we will evolve the way we access and use the resources around us.
