Climate + Business: Antonia Burbidge & Rebecca Lowe
Next month is the biggest event on the corporate climate calendar, the Climate Change + Business Conference by Environmental Defence Society, the Sustainable Business Council and Climate Leaders Coalition. You could say it’s the CCBC by the EDS and SBC and the CLC. On the agenda are the ETS, the TCFD and of course IPCC by UNFCCC. To explain all those Cs, I’m joined by Rebecca Lowe, head of communications at SBC and Antonia Burbidge head of climate and nature.

Brianne West: from shampoo to fizzy drinks with no water (not much anyways)
In Aotearoa New Zealand, we throw away a staggering 97 million single-use plastic drinks containers each year, with less than 7% of those ever getting recycled. Seems dumb especially when most of that drink is water. Brianne West is the founder of Ethique, the eco-beauty products business that took water out of cosmetics and saved millions of tons of plastic, water and emissions in the process. Ethique exports to more than 20 countries and was sold in 2020. Brianne is turning that success in beauty to fizzy drinks – called Incrediballs – and she joins Vincent.
