At the edie 24 event in London last month, our award-winning editorial team hosted a series of punchy decisions intended to enlighten and inform audiences on the most complex and hotly-debated topics in corporate sustainability.

In this discussion, edie editor Matt Mace sits down with sustainability representatives from TalkTalk, Virgin Media O2 and Krystal to address the “elephant in the room” as we ask them, can businesses grow while reducing emissions?

The elephant in the room: Will we ever decouple business growth from environmental impact?

In conversation with edie's Sarah George, he explains why collaborating with innovators is so crucial for large businesses looking to meet stretching carbon and water goals - and how they can work together effectively.
