About the show

On the 8th March 2022 (International Women’s Day) Efeca announced the creation of a new podcast series: a platform for women’s voices in sustainability.

The 2022 UN theme for International Women's Day, "Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow," sought to highlight the contribution of women and girls around the globe, who participate in their communities and promote climate change adaptation, mitigation, and response, in order to build a more sustainable future for all.

Join our host Emily Fripp, Founding Director of Efeca for this new podcast series and platform for women’s voices in sustainability.

Together we’ll help celebrate and elevate the perspectives and work of women, showcasing the role that women play in supporting sustainable livelihoods, climate change mitigation and creation of sustainable supply chains.

Emily has been lucky enough to work around the world with amazing people and fascinating forest commodities across different sectors, geographies and commodity interests.

We hope you enjoy these regular chats with inspirational women working in sustainability today, showcasing how diverse and inclusive working are essential parts of our sustainable future.
