Summary
This week on the podcast, we talk about the second most polluting industry in the world, fashion. We talk with President and CEO of Gucci, Marco Bizzarri about why Gucci went carbon neutral with offsets, and how they plan to take their entire supply chain to carbon neutrality without having to pay for offsets. And to achieve that, they've launched both #CEOCarbonNeutralChallenge and Equilibrium.Gucci.com. Listen in to hear how they're going to do it.
And before that interview, our guest co-host this week is Lucy Siegle, Nature and Climate Journalist/Writer, focusing in on plastics and the fashion industry. Lucy gives us a word on why fast-fashion consumerism post-COVID is even more unsustainable, and breaks up the conversation about having her urine tested for banned plasticizers. You don't want to miss it.
