Organisations are starting to shift their portfolio of products and services to be more sustainable, but they are not directly speaking to their clients and customers about how they can be a part of delivering the ambition or how to use their products in a sustainable way. Effectively, organisations have created the supply without addressing the demand. This talk helps organisations to open up that dialogue with clients and customers, to create demand.

The gravity of the situation requires systemic, transformational change, but often transitioning the economy is positioned at 50,000 feet and can seem impractical and misaligned to corporate strategies. No one organisation can drive systemic change, we must work together across sectors and society and adopt a system-thinking approach to tackle complex social challenges with more significant impact. Understanding and preparing for the effects of climate change on society is critical.
Through her organisation, The Holm Edit, she shares practical solutions to create systemic change, that require business and citizens simultaneously making more sustainable choices, creating the necessary supply and demand to transition the economy. We have chosen a dualistic approach, to help citizens make more sustainable choices at home and also to work with businesses to tackle environmental and social challenges along the value chain.
