Episode notes
Anne Snelson (Lead With Sustainability) shares her journey from government statistician and AA policy researcher to senior marketing roles at Vodafone and RingGo, before finding her purpose in sustainability. She takes us through her work championing emissions-based parking, her role in influencing corporate sustainability at companies like BMW and Nissan, and how her Carbon Literacy Project training is sparking meaningful change across the automotive and built environment sectors.
Anne opens up about:
-
Her personal motivations for tackling climate change and the influence of her parents, a statistician father and ecologist mother.
-
The emotional moments from delivering her sustainability training, and the ripple effects it creates in corporate and personal lives alike.
-
The importance of circularity, AI-driven innovation, and co-benefits in building a zero-emission future.
-
Life lessons in resilience, building a purpose-led business in her 50s, and finding joy in making a difference.
Oh, and there’s talk of Climate Change Countdown, EV road trips to Italy, and why cheap renewable electricity is top of Anne’s “magic wand” wish list.
