2: #2 - Dr Rebecca Heaton - Senior Sustainability Advisor

Liv welcomes Becky Heaton to her yellow bench.

What does it really take to keep your balance when your job is literally saving the planet? In this episode of Rooted: the human side of sustainability leadership, former corporate sustainability leader turned coach Liv Cropper sits down with Dr Rebecca (Becky) Heaton to explore the realities of leading change in some of the toughest boardrooms. A senior sustainability leader with two decades at the sharp end of corporate and policy work, Becky has led sustainability at Ovo, Drax and Lloyds Banking Group, and was a member of the UK Committee on Climate Change.

From forestry beginnings to shaping UK climate policy, Becky reflects on legacy, impact, and the challenges that push chief sustainability officers to the edge of burnout, as well as why even “tree huggers” need a strategy for staying sane.
