ESG in Action
Putting ESG into practice through real conversations
ESG in Action is our podcast series exploring how values-driven leadership, sustainable thinking, and inclusive culture are shaping the business landscape.
Hosted by Alexandra Holsgrove Jones, Knowledge Partner and TLT’s ESG lead, each episode features a conversation with leaders who are driving ESG progress in their organisations, from charities to household brands.
Together, they discuss the actions that are already making a difference, what motivates them, and why this work matters. These are practical, honest conversations designed to offer fresh perspectives and inspiration for anyone looking to make ESG part of their everyday decision-making.
