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.     
Today I’m talking to Ben Kellard, Director of Business Strategy at Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL).    
We are talking about what is a sustainable purpose-led business?  How do businesses understand where they're starting from and how they can transform to that in the future.    With research from the likes of Ikea, Unilever, DSM and Interface, Ben talks about how those big brands integrated sustainability and evidence-based goals into their core purpose and strategy.
