Leaders in sustainability
Sometimes it seems that everything is already lost. The planet is dying... being socially responsible towards your employees, your stakeholders, the society, is overrated (or so people would have you believe)... And these two aspects always seem diametrically opposed to performance and profitability! Sustainable leadership is when leaders manage companies with environmental and societal development goals in mind. ... It’s all about leading in a way that benefits societies and the environment, while (and that’s crucial!) maintaining financial performance. Because we believe in being sustainable, responsible, and making money, we wanted to highlight leaders who (like ourselves) work everyday to make it happen, and, more importantly, to put the record straight... Talking about sustainability should not be as depressing as we sometimes see it in the media. It is an occasion for change, an opportunity for innovation at the three pillars: people, planet & profit. Sustainability! What else?

Today's podcast features 3137, a visual arts collective from Athens, Greece. The reason we interviewed them is that we were involved in a collaboration with them and pounced upon the opportunity to make yet another podcast. We talked to them about sustainability, arts in general as well as visual arts in particular, and how and where art could influence the transition to a more sustainable way of living.
