It’s my pleasure to share with you the latest episode of the Communicating Purpose podcast, with Ben Tolhurst, Director of Business Declares.

Business Declares is a non-profit organisation which works with businesses to raise awareness for the climate, ecological and social crisis by declaring a ‘Climate Emergency’.

Previously, Ben held a UK Board role at the Commercial Real Estate firm JLL, and director level roles at Capita, Serco and BT.

In our discussion, we covered:

🎙️ The ‘climate epiphany’ that led Ben to leaving his corporate job to setting-up Business Declares

🎙️How businesses can convincingly pose as activists 

🎙️ How Ben mobilised more than 300 business executives to join Extinction Rebellion’s ‘The Big One’ protest this year
