Richard Walker on The Search For Sustainable Equilibrium.

Richard is best known for his fight against palm oil and single-use plastic, but there is way more than environmental activism to his CV. As Chairman of the Iceland supermarket chain, Richard looks after more than 1000 outlets with a combined turnover of more than £4 Billion. When not in business mode, he can be found catching waves or climbing mountains. In this episode, Kenton catches up with Richard after a day of ice climbing in Norway. The pair talk about the family business, his passion for sustainability, and how a company can live in harmony with the environment. - Sponsors - @lasportivauk @petzl_official @Arcteryxuk @landrover @lyonequipment @crudecoffeeroasters @evileye.eyewear @reality.maps @incoolcompany @bremontwatches @scallop.offical ... - Supporters - @panorama_lodge_namche @mission.uk @thecoolconversations @vidrate @Everesttoday #kentoncool #coolconversations #podcast #podcastersofinstagram #getitdone #wereinittogether #adventure #adventures #business #businessleader #climbing #environment #iceclimbing #leadership #sustainability #surf #surfer
