Description

When Dr Sharon Redrobe OBE first sat in the boardroom as CEO of Twycross Zoo, she was told the reason they were losing A MILLION POUNDS a year was 'they were a charity'.

She disagreed, saying they were actually 'a badly run charity'. From there, someone who once protested the very existence of zoos then saw the power in what they stood for in terms of mission and conservationism.

In this month's Lead Out Loud podcast, we've paired Sharon with Associate Professor of Strategy and Sustainability, Frederik Dahlmann - an academic at Warwick Business School who loves focusing on how companies tackle global sustainability issues in the way they do business. 

Also in this episode: 

  • Why Money isn't a DIRTY WORD in charities. 
  • Was GREENWASHING inevitable? 
  • How much it costs to FEED A TIGER.
