Welcome to Sustain Talks where I discuss the world of Sustainability and CSR with an array of interesting people I come across on my journey.     This week I’m excited to bring you Richard Betts from EY. In this video Richard and I discuss EYs ambitious targets as well as Richards personal achievements with The Rainforest Trust, the big life changes he made after lock-down and why what we all do as individuals is as important as the activities of large corporates and countries!   Forests, Peat-land and the Ocean are absorbing half the carbon pollution we are producing... Richard thinks it's time we started looking after these, as they are looking after us...  Do you?
