Walk2COP27: The role of business in activism

Written By Vaishnavi Ananthan

This event was chaired by our Director, Ben Tolhurst, where we heard from speakers:

  • Charmian Love (Global Director of Advocacy, Natura &Co),

  • Tom Greenwood (Business Declares member, Wholegrain Digital)

  • Craig Scudder (Activist, Just Stop Oil)

on where businesses can/should play a part in being more bold in speaking out and advocating on a range of topics not traditionally “in scope” for business.

These include topics such as: degrowth and the need to alter business models to operate within planetary boundaries; stances on topics traditionally considered the domain of activists from controversial legislative changes through to calls to stop new fossil fuel production and the greenwashing agenda.
