Strategic Advisor, Author and Podcaster
Gareth Kane has been helping organisations to thrive in a low carbon, circular economy for over 25 years. His consultancy, Terra Infirma Ltd, has worked with a wide range of blue chip clients such as the BBC, BAE Systems, the NHS, Johnson Matthey, as well as multiple small and medium sized businesses across the UK. He has authored five books on Business & Sustainability, hosts a Net Zero Business Podcast, and facilitates the Sustainability Leadership Roundtable.
Gareth believes that sustainability is about change, and change is about psychology. He developed a range of techniques to spearhead this message, with strategies based on each individual business case study. His approach aims to make sustainability more relevant to employees, rather than expecting them to 'convert' to environmentalism. These techniques have proven effective over the years.
Gareth has been an elected member of the Newcastle City Council for 20 years, and has held positions of Deputy Executive Member for Environment and Sustainability, as well as Opposition Spokesperson for Environment and Sustainability.
