Businesses have the opportunity to put their money where their mouth is and use everyday spending to further their sustainability goals. In this episode we’re sharing how to get started in climate finance, and why it might be one of the simplest sustainability moves you can make.

My guests are Kylie Nealis, Senior Program Manager for Climate Justice, B Lab US and Canada and Kate Ogden, Head of Advocacy and Movement Building at B Corp, Seventh Generation.

Climate finance provides an opportunity for large scale impact without massive changes to a company's production or supply chain. You can decarbonize your investments, choose partners who are as committed to sustainability as you are, and even buy greener insurance and retirement plans! Seventh Generation helped B Lab put together an inaugural Climate Finance Cohort dedicated to guiding B Corps on their climate finance journey.

Climate action doesn’t happen alone: effective leaders understand that relationships are essential to success. Climate justice is about the ‘who’ and the ‘how,’ not just the ‘what.’

 Getting started can be daunting. That’s why B Lab, along with partners and stakeholders, recently published the Principles for Partnership with Frontline Communities .

Today’s guests were instrumental in writing and sharing these principles. They’ll tell us about how to implement them in your business and prove that purpose and profit are not mutually exclusive.

Clementina Consens is Senior Associate, Climate Justice B Lab US and Canada. Clarenda Stanley, otherwise known as Farmer Cee, is the CEO of Green Heffa Farms.

Agriculture and climate are inextricably linked. A healthy climate is key to producing healthy crops but modern agricultural practices often exacerbate climate change. There are also serious inequities between the Global North and the Global South built into our food systems.

In today’s episode, we’re joined by two guests who understand this system and are working hard to improve it. Gonzalo Muñoz is the Co-Founder of both Sistema B and Ambition Loop. Sistema B is the Latin American branch of B Lab and Ambition Loop is a climate focused NGO based in Chile.

Carlos Manuel Uribe is President at Flores El Capiro, a Colombia based flower grower and exporter.
