A veteran of the licensing industry, June established Nutmeg Licensing over ten years ago to take a more sustainable approach to licensing.  During this period, June enjoyed 10 years working with the Eden Project to build their sustainable licensing programme as part of their mission to demonstrate and inspire positive action for the planet.  For over two years, she has combined this with her work as part of The PurposePeople, a joint venture dedicated to supporting businesses on their sustainability journeys.  As the impacts of climate change become more apparent in our day to day lives, June’s work with The PurposePeople now becomes her dominant focus.

Building on years of practical experience, June successfully completed the Business Sustainability Management program run by the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership in 2020 and is studying with IEMA to be a Practitioner in Environmental Management.  She continues to develop her sustainability-based knowledge on both a practical and theoretical level.

June is also a Founder Member of the Sustainists, an alliance of like-minded business professionals dedicated to developing sustainable work practices.

Our way of living is being threatened by the climate emergency, with the world changing around us. New norms are being established – what was once acceptable is no longer tolerated, so we all need to adapt.

It makes good business sense too. Millennials and Gen Z, often referred to as ‘Generation Green’, form much of the consumer and employee base. Increasingly they are demanding environmentally friendly products and services, whilst employment decisions are often made based on an employer’s drive towards a sustainable future.

So what does living and working sustainably mean? Not harming the environment. Appreciating that we only have one world and that, by definition, we are limited by finite resources. Accepting that we need to be in balance with nature to survive.
