If you have watched even one episode of BBC1’s Dragons’ Den, you’ll be familiar with Deborah Meaden’s reputation as an eco-warrior – just the whiff of some plastic packaging is enough to make the entrepreneur say, “I’m out”.

Now, the millionaire businesswoman is turning her attention from budding start-ups to some of the biggest companies in the world, quizzing CEOs on their environmental credentials on her new podcast.

Co-hosted by Wake Up To Money’s Felicity Hannah, each episode sees big bosses discuss what they are doing to reduce their company’s impact on the planet, as well as how sustainability can be viewed as an opportunity or an inconvenience.

What’s more, the pair also answer listeners’ questions on everything from eating meat versus plant-based, buying second-hand clothing, and making our homes more energy efficient to help us make more plant and purse-friendly choices.

Released each Friday, episodes so far have featured EasyJet CEO Johan Lundgren, who talks about the future of aviation, the executive vice president of Nestle on the problem with palm oil, and how fast fashion giant Primark is utilising sustainable materials.

Meaden said of her own awakening to the issue of climate change: “I’ve changed many of the things I do in my personal life – I’ve become a vegan, and we’re trying very hard to become carbon neutral in our home. That’s something lots of people want to do, but they’re not quite sure how to do it.”

Personal changes, she says, go hand-in-hand with businesses becoming sustainable, too.

She continued: “Any business ignoring the issue is going to fail at some point in the future because consumers really care.”
