Mobilising a movement

from Retail Therapy Hosted by Australian Retailers Association

Our next guest on the Retail Therapy podcast is Alex Holt, Chief Sustainability Officer at Woolworths Group – one of Australia’s biggest companies and most recognisable brands. It was in June last year that this executive level leadership role was created, highlighting the firm commitment from the organisation to bring their sustainability objectives to the forefront. Alex has been at the helm of the Woolworths Group sustainability portfolio since 2016 and led the development of their ground-breaking ‘2025 Sustainability Plan’ project. Before this, she was General Manager of Sustainability, Health and Quality. We know why climate change and sustainability is important and why we need to work towards net-zero targets, the big question is, how do we get there? Inviting Alex into the podcast studio to chat about the Woolworths Group sustainability journey and the leadership role it’s taking in this space is well timed. Tune in to hear Paul and Alex discuss: The importance of sustainability leadership roles The Woolworths Group's 2025 sustainability plan Putting people, planet and product front and centre Evolution of the circular economy Stakeholder engagement and bringing the whole team on the journey Community responsibility in times of crisis The secret sauce applicable to all businesses Investing in a new plastic recycling start-up tech A big thank you to AWS for supporting this season of the podcast.

Patti Talks Too Much Patti Hi. I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans. We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.
