Silent Spring, Star Wars, and sustainable business (PPF)
Update: 2025-08-10
Description
What is sustainability, and how can businesses contribute to it? Why do many larger organisations in Aotearoa New Zealand align with the Sustainable Business Council (SBC)?
In this episode, host Roger Robson-Williams is joined by Jay Crangle and Mike Burrell from the SBC to explore these questions, sparked by the recent merger of four Crown Research Institutes into the new Bioeconomy Science Institute—an organisation of over 2,000 people with an annual revenue of around $0.5 billion.
Jay and Mike share their personal journeys into sustainability, how their work at the SBC reflects their values, and what Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring and the Star Wars universe can teach us about shaping a more sustainable future.
