Join Festival of Thrift co-founder Wayne Hemingway MBE, in conversation with Ruth Andrade from Lush’s Regenerative Impact, Earth Care and Giving team.
Ruth started working for Lush in 2004 and soon became the head of environment at Lush, inspiring many environmental initiatives during that time. After a long hiatus, Ruth now leads brand strategy on regenerative impact, supports organisational development based on living systems and helps evolve charitable giving strategies. She is passionate about how to transform business into a force of regeneration and to leverage the power of a global brand to do good.
Ruth has a masters in Advanced Environmental and Energy Studies. She is a Trustee and co-founder of Re.Alliance, a collective of practitioners bringing regenerative design to the humanitarian sector, a co-creator of Regenerosity, an initiative for finding, funding and learning from the planet’s most regenerative projects.
Wayne and Ruth discuss all things sustainable including Lush’s Ethical Charter and their ‘Leaving the world Lusher than we found it’ ethos.
