Can profit and sustainability truly go hand in hand? In this compelling TEDx talk, sustainability expert Paul Lewis shares why businesses—not just governments—hold the key to climate progress. Drawing on decades of experience with household named brands Paul explains how sustainable practices are no longer just ethical—they’re profitable. He outlines three driving forces of change: government inaction, shifting consumer expectations, and a new generation of employees demanding purpose. This talk offers a powerful, practical roadmap for individuals and organisations to drive impact through everyday choices. The climate crisis is urgent, but business can be the engine of a better future—if we choose to lead. "
