The Lens UK Responsible Business Podcast (The Lens) is the voice of responsible business across the UK and around the globe. The Lens creates a space for leaders to convene, always with one eye on the future. Open, unscripted and honest conversations between current and future leaders challenge the way we all think about responsible business. The Lens partners with One Young World to connect with global future leaders.
Each month a global business leader sits down with an emerging leader who is already making their mark to foster disruptive conversations and fresh connections. Innovators and CEOs join host, ex-BBC journalist Sarah Travers, for a unique conversation covering their journeys, lessons learned, advice, insights, and even controversy.
Climate change, the unintended consequences of AI and automation, access to ‘good work’, creating responsible products and services, inclusivity, wellbeing, diversity in the workplace and so much more are on the agenda. The podcast represents the breadth and depth of responsible business priorities.
