Duncan's career change from advertising and marketing executive to social entrepreneur and charity head was instigated after a life changing six-month world motorbiking trip. He returned to the UK with a vision: selling bottled water for good causes and using the profits to bring clean water projects to the one billion people worldwide who lived without access to it.Duncan explains why he went into marketing rather than medicine, what made him leave a job he enjoyed and how he ended up running an ethical organisation, based on values instilled by his grandparents and parents.He also discusses:• the importance of One being carbon neutral• why One opted for green energy from the get-go• using recycled plastic for bottles before it became 'the right thing' to do.• why One was among the first UK organisations to get B Corp certification.Mentioned in this podcastOne WaterB CorporationsThe Co-op water security programmesWorld Duty FreeOne Water and StarbucksPolytag packaging tracing technologyJupiter's Travels by Ted SimonYou might also like:Jo Faulkner-Harvey, head of charity fundraising S3 E5Duncan's return to the podcast One Year On S4 E8Stuart Goldsmith Climate comedian S5 E2About ProGRESS:Host Sandra Kessell invites guests to discuss jobs, courses and activities and asks for real-world insights into the pathways and career choices that led to their current point in life.
