We've been hearing whispers about this trend for months, and now it's time to address it head-on: sustainability teams across major corporations are being restructured, downsized, or absorbed into other departments. In this episode, we dive into this critical shift that's affecting sustainability professionals worldwide. We cover:

• The dramatic shift from the sustainability hiring boom of 2-3 years ago to today's restructuring wave
• Which sustainability roles are most vulnerable (hint: it's not who you might think)
• Where sustainability functions are being relocated within organisational structures
• Whether this integration is actually good for sustainability's long-term impact
• Practical advice for navigating your career during this transition

We're going on a season break and will be back with you in June.

What does “sustainable agriculture” look like from a farmer’s perspective?

Saif Hameed sits down with Adam Henkel, a 7th-generation farmer and 3rd-generation conservationist from Illinois. They break down:

• The true meaning of sustainability on the farm
• Bridging the farmer-corporate gap
• Easy wins vs real challenges in practice
• How corporations and sustainability professionals can help

In short… yes. But is that really a bad thing?

In this week’s episode, we ask whether the hype around sustainability is deflating, and what that means for progress.

We dive into the latest headlines:

• Is the UK on the brink of scaling back its climate ambitions?
• Are we stuck in a loop of ever-rising energy demand?
• What's next for sustainability-linked executive pay?

PLUS: A climate tech reality check.

Is climate tech entering its "trough of disillusionment"? Saif unpacks why corporate budgets are tightening, which solutions are struggling, and what climate tech founders need to hear.
