Julia is joined by Paul Hargreaves, founder and CEO of Cotswold Fayre, a wholesaler of speciality and fine foods.
Paul is passionate about business with purpose. He is the author of a book on how to create a better world through purpose-driven business, called Forces for Good, and recently published a second book about compassionate leadership, called the Fourth Bottom Line.
His own company is a certified B Corp, and Paul shares how having a clear, common purpose across the business has made a big difference during tough times.
He also talks to Julia about the pitfalls of greenwashing and purpose-washing (and how to avoid them) and why he believes we need to ask tougher questions of big corporations and challenge our Capitalist system’s addiction to growth at all cost.
