​You know why embedding climate action into your work and your office is important... but how can it be done? In this interactive session, you'll hear from 5 professionals with roles just like yours who have either made the move to join a new company or are working hard within their current organisation to effect change.

​We'll cover:

• ​The day to day - what does 'taking climate action at work' actually look like for them? What does their company actually do?

• ​Tips and tricks for finding peers, and a new role, working on climate.

• ​Opportunities to make a difference that are unique to marketing and communications professionals.

• ​Their path, and what they've learnt along the way.

• ​...and any of your burning questions!

Her climate journey started when she was working within the real estate industry, where sustainability became a hot topic, noting at the time that the industry was responsible for 40% of carbon emissions. This encouraged her to take her experience and skills and move into the carbon space, which included building the marketing team at carbon removal leader, Climeworks, and most recently as Head of Brand & Marketing at carbon removal and financing startup, Opna.

  • ​Ellie James is a food and drink marketeer with experience in FMCG startups from Lucky Saint to Moving Mountains and now Wildfarmed.
