Anna Lungley – Sustainability is a business opportunity Anna Lungley is one of the UK’s most influential voices in corporate sustainability and responsible business. In Episode 72 of Nottingham Business School’s Business Leaders Podcast she says that, as climate change threatens raw material supplies and long-term profitability, successful businesses are seeing sustainability as a driver of innovation, not compliance. She tells Visiting Honorary Professor Mike Sassi that sustainability is moving beyond simply reducing harm, to creating “regenerative business models” that drive resilience and open new market opportunities. Anna acknowledges the huge political challenges that sustainability currently faces. But she urges business leaders to stay “fact-based and courageous”. “Celebrate progress, not perfection,” she adds.
