62: Richard Walker, Iceland Foods – Doing it right: lessons from the green grocer

Joining Michael on today’s Change Makers is Richard Walker, Managing Director of Iceland Foods. With a call to environmental action at the heart of his business ethos and a longstanding commitment to sustainability, Richard is a champion for the role of purpose in powering business profit. He has upheld the family legacy of ‘doing it right’ through initiatives to abolish palm oil in supermarket products, reduce plastic waste and commit to achieving carbon neutrality. His book ‘The Green Grocer: One man’s manifesto for corporate activism’ is set to be released in April, as he looks to inspire a supermarket-led change towards a better world, with nobody left behind.
