Mike Jones: Carbon Accounting made easy and the intersection of humanity and numbers

In the eighth  episode of our series I speak with Mike Jones, from 5D Net Zero. They use Carbon Accounting as the starting point for SMEs sustainability journey. 

Mike has already had an action-packed, purpose-filled career with huge drive, insights and impact, despite being early on in his journey.

 

In our conversation, he shares how he uses tools to direct language and people move towards a bigger purpose. 

 

He also shows why doing nothing is not an option. Talks us through the intersection of humanity and numbers and shares his key tips on taking action, with some easy wins that have high impact 

I hope this inspires you to move the dial in your sustainability journey at work, no matter what stage you’re at.
