Top British Speakers on Climate Change (for COP26)
2nd Aug 2021
Our sustainability speakers are attending COP26.
The UK will host the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow on 31 October – 12 November 2021 and we’re keen to do our bit to help in the fight against climate change.
This is why we are really pleased to announce that our in-house studio is now powered by 100% sustainable energy (and that’s in addition to the ‘Scandi’ levels of wall, roof and floor insulation which keeps our consumption levels to a minimum).
Like many organisations, the Covid-19 lockdown has forced change upon us; our speakers are now delivering on remote platforms, many of our presenters now have their own green-screen self filming setups, and of course, all of our professional voiceover artists already were equipped with their own home studios – so we felt very fortunate to be ahead of the game when it came to home voice recording. You can find out more about all of this below;
But amongst all of this, our business sustainability has also been at the forefront of our minds, and with climate change an ever-growing concern, we wanted to ensure that our studio facilities were as sustainable and environmentally friendly as they can be.
COP26 Sustainability Speakers
COP26 Organising team member David Saddington –
In addition to the practical aspect of adopting a sustainable energy supply, we’re also working with a number of our talented personalities who share our passion, such as one of our youngest sustainability speakers David Saddington who is a member of the team organising COP26.
Hailing from Yorkshire (where our GB studio is also located) David first became involved with environmental matters when severe flooding hit the county in 2005. From that point, he dedicated all his energy to the cause and effects of climate change.
Below: David talks at the Powering Progress Together convention.

Bear Grylls and the COP26 Scouts #promisetotheplanet
Bear Grylls is another of our star environmental speakers and was the UK’s youngest ever Chief Scout when he was appointed in 2009, aged only 34.
What are the Scouts doing about climate change?
From June to November this year, 57 million Scouts from across the world will take a stand and work towards a better world by taking action to reduce climate change. They’ll get hands-on to make a difference wherever they live, use their voices to inspire decision-makers, and record their actions for the planet.
