Ashleigh Theophanides Chief Sustainability Officer, Deloitte Africa discussed the art of navigating sustainability and conflicting business priorities with Adirupa Sengupta, CEO of Common Purpose, Tokunboh Ishmael, Earthshot Trustee and MD of Alitheia. In this episode they delve into real life stories of what is happening on the ground alternative dirty fuels affecting households, broadening markets and deforestation showing the potential of what is possible to reduce deaths from indoor pollution. Sustainability is not just a challenge but an opportunity. Doing purpose driven work doesn’t need to come at a cost of something else. They ask the questions, can Africa speak with one voice? How do you get the seat at the table? How do we learn from different parts of the world? Ask yourself what can I do more?
