The conversation explores media misinformation, political inaction, and practical steps businesses can take to thrive in a sustainable future.

    Key Quotes
    1. "We're accelerating into a poly crisis at the moment, and it's about a response to that." - Mike Berners-Lee
    2. "The most important thing to do is to keep the narrative, is to raise the narrative on this. We've got to make it normal to talk about this stuff as though it's a huge deal all the time." - Mike Berners-Lee
    3. "We can't afford not to do it. Businesses, you need to do your own independent thinking. You need to get clear view of proper facts on this and then you need to be a bit imaginative about working out how that economic business opportunity pans out for you." - Mike Berners-Lee

    POPULAR REPLAY: Wine Society talks about why investing in your supply chain is crucial in 2025
    Jul 24 2025
    Host Will Richardson offers his thoughts on sustainability and more and replays one of our popular episodes on supply chain sustainability with the Wine Society. Will and Charlie Luxton are taking a break over the Summer to spend time with their families. We hope to bring you more episodes in early Autumn. From bottles to biodiversity! Welcome to Sustainability Solved! In this episode, hosts Will and Charlie dive into the fascinating world of wine and sustainability with Dom De Ville from the Wine Society. First set up in 1874 by a bunch of people who wanted to pay a fair price for their booze, the Wine Society is leading the charge in tackling supply chain emissions, improving agricultural practices, and supporting winemakers across the globe. If you’re curious about Scope 3 emissions, regenerative viticulture, and innovative approaches to sustainability, this episode is for you.Join the Sustainability Solved Hub to collaborate, ask questions, and share insights.ProblemThe wine industry faces mounting sustainability challenges:Scope 3 Emissions: 94% of the Wine Society’s carbon footprint comes from their supply chain, particularly in wine production, glass bottle manufacturing, and shipping.Climate Change: Extreme weather patterns, droughts, and floods are threatening vineyards worldwide.Human Rights Risks: Reliance on seasonal, often migrant, labour raises ethical concerns.Biodiversity Loss: Conventional farming practices, such as pesticide and herbicide use, degrade soil and ecosystems.SolutionsInvesting in Suppliers (Insetting):Instead of traditional carbon offsets, the Wine Society invests directly in its growers through a Climate and Nature Fund. This supports projects like regenerative farming and reforestation.Examples include hydro-seeding trials, agroforestry initiatives, and providing seed money for transitioning to regenerative viticulture.Reducing Glass Bottle Emissions:The Wine Society collaborated with 12 retailers through the Bottle Weight Accord to reduce bottle weights by 2027, significantly lowering emissions.Regenerative Agriculture:Encouraging natural solutions, such as planting cover crops, using sheep for natural fertilisation, and avoiding soil tillage to preserve carbon stores.Collaboration:Active involvement in the Sustainable Wine Roundtable and the Regenerative Viticulture Foundation to share knowledge and best practices across the industry.Producers Making a Difference:Highlighting sustainable suppliers on their website to incentivise greener practices and reward innovation.ResultsDirect investment of £65,000 per year into supply chain projects, supporting growers in transitioning to more sustainable practices.A unified industry effort to reduce glass bottle weights, potentially transforming the carbon footprint of millions of bottles annually.Positive relationships with suppliers, fostering long-term partnerships and encouraging sustainable innovation.TakeawaysPay a Fair Price: Sustainability in supply chains requires investment and fair compensation for producers.Insetting Over Offsetting: Direct investment in suppliers creates measurable, on-the-ground impact while improving relationships.Collaboration is Key: Solving sustainability challenges requires industry-wide cooperation and shared solutions.Regenerative Practices Work: Nature-based approaches not only improve biodiversity but also increase resilience to climate change.ResourcesThe Wine Society: thewinesociety.comSustainable Wine Roundtable: An industry forum driving collaborative change: https://swroundtable.org/Regenerative Viticulture Foundation: Supporting growers in adopting sustainable, regenerative practices https://www.regenerativeviticulture.org/Producers Making a Difference: Explore sustainable winemakers on the Wine Society’s website: https://www.thewinesociety.com/buy/wines/producers-making-a-difference/Me and White Supremacy by Layla SaadMinistry for the future by Kim Stanley RobinsonGreen Element Group is an environmental management consultancy offering a range of bespoke sustainability services, products, and resources to accelerate the just transition to a stable climate.
