Satish Kumar: Living Life in Elegant Simplicity, and in Harmony With Nature.

12/21/20 • 36 min

Our guest today is Satish Kumar, a former monk, an Indian-British activist and speaker, the Director of Programmes of the Schumacher College international centre for ecological studies, and most notably, has completed an 8000 mile peace-pilgrimage from New-Delhi to Moscow. These are simply extracts from an extensive list of notable accomplishments throughout his career as a peace and environmental activist.

Satish insists that reverence for nature should be at the heart of every political and social debate, and we focus our discussion on the reasons why. Nature is our greatest teacher, and we have so much to learn from it going into 2021.

Unfinished Business, with Galahad Clark.

In this episode, Emma sits down with our CEO Galahad Clark, to discuss Vivobarefoot’s first integrated annual report.
It is a step change for Vivo’s reporting and one that truly embraces the radical transparency we preach. It is an amalgamation of financial and sustainability reporting and also delivers a holistic overview of our value’s, beliefs and performance this year, warts and all.
Is the format a finished article? No. Is there still a lot of work ahead refining and increasing the detail contained? Yes. Is it a big, bold, barefoot, step in the right direction? Absolutely!
We were not happy with any of our competitor’s efforts and as such enlisted the help of sustainability consultants to help create our own reporting framework, based around the WEF (World Economic Forum’s 'Toward Common Metrics and Consistent Reporting of Sustainable Value Creation') Sustainability Metrics.
