Trewin Restorick – Founder & CEO, Hubub
Trewin Restorick is the Founder and CEO of Hubbub, a charity and social enterprise that inspires ways of living that are good for the environment. Taking the step from a long-established and relatively secure job to create a new start-up was a huge risk but something that Trewin felt was necessary to revolutionise how we talk to the public about environmental issues. From day one, Trewin has put his heart and soul into Hubbub, and under his leadership it has grown to a thriving organisation that has delivered more than 60 trailblazing environmental campaigns in partnership with over 700 partners.

Richard Walker – Managing Director, Iceland Foods
Richard Walker’s personal commitment to change the status quo, based on the dual imperatives of climate and social justice, has harnessed the power of 25,000 colleagues and built collaborative partnerships with campaigners and suppliers to lead bold campaigns with global significance. Iceland’s commitment to remove plastic packaging from its own label range has been widely credited as the turning point in driving industry-wide action on this issue, while the removal of palm oil ingredients from the Iceland own label range massively increased public awareness of the issue of tropical deforestation, and pressurised the industry to deliver commitments to end this.
