Eller Everett
Co-Founder of Both Of Us LtdBoth Of Us combine technology, design and illustration to help companies working towards their Sustainable Development Goals.

This is the collision of two pandemics and if we can increase metabolic health we can very likely improve resilience to the next viral attack.

We want to build that resilience which is really just a kind of bank of happiness and positivity to actually prevent mental illness.
Ian Caveney
Head of Tech For Good, BTIan believes that any brand or business needs a clear “purpose” if they want to have any long term success. Ian has seen how a clear purpose drives strong commercial success, whilst simultaneously delivering environmental and societal benefits.
The sustainability team has a commercial lens to it because it has to have value. To have longevity it has to be able to fund itself. We're selling things that have a positive impact - it's profit with purpose.
Francesco Carbone

Sustainable assets, ESG funds, under management over the last two years have grown by around 96%. I think Europe is leading in this.
Graeme Cox
CEO, Co-Founder Emteq LabsGraeme joins me in this series of Tech With Purpose interviews to talk about what drove him to start Emteq Labs, and why technology that understands our emotions is important in Virtual Reality.
Clearly anything that can read emotions could be applied for both human good, but also for nefarious purposes. Our work is to maximise the good, and help protect against the bad.
Tom Greenwood
Wholegrain DigitalTom and his wife set up their company, Wholegrain Digital, as a bit of an experiment to see how hard it was to build a sustainable company. It turns out, it is really rather hard. Tom shares his experience of building a sustainable digital agency, and becoming BCorp certified.
I thought, well you know, the best way to find out whether it is possible to run a business in a sustainable way is to start a business and try and to do it.
Noman Ahmed
