flow²thrive Newsletter: February

We’ve kicked off 2024 with a theme that can only be described as ‘‘purposeful partnerships & inspiring meetings of minds’’.

It’s incredible what happens when you put people with similar purpose, passions and values in life and business together. Things just seem to fall into place.

You have conversations that engage, inspire and ignite sparks.

That’s what’s happened to us over the past few months, which is why we’ve dedicated our first newsletter to sharing information about some exciting new partnerships as well as our brand new Sustainable Human Blog and Podcast.

Here's a glimpse of what's been happening

We’ve launched the Sustainable Human Podcast

 
 

A podcast dedicated to the H in the S in ESG.

For leaders who are committed to changing the way organisations approach, measure and report on human sustainability, within and outside of ESG regulations and standards.

Listen to our first episode, launched 1 February, which features Dr Tauni Lanier, Director of the BDO ESG Hub in the UK, who takes a broad view on the topic of human sustainability and explores different aspects of the human side of ESG.

Listen to the full episode here:

We have a fantastic line up of guests for the upcoming episodes. Make sure you follow the Sustainable Human Podcast on your favourite app. We will release a new episode on the 1st and 15th of every month.

We have a new blog: The Sustainable Human

We’ve refreshed and re-launched our blog with a core focus on Human Sustainability. Read our first blog post, The Missing ‘‘H Factor’’ in ESG, here.

 
 

We’ve participated in a couple of podcasts ourselves

Our founder Linda Jarnhamn has also been a guest on a couple of podcasts.

World of Wisdom

Linda spoke to Amit Paul, host of the Podcast World of Wisdom about productivity, brains and culture change; how we can leverage data to invite people to begin their journeys; collective interoception and why most workplaces aren't productive - even though people are working very hard.

The Experience Designers

Performance and productivity. Two important words in today’s work environment. And also, two charged words - what do they actually mean? Linda talked to Shani Persson the host of the Experience Designers Podcast about how we need to take a scientific and neurological perspective to human thriving and how companies can uncover sustainable human potential and performance.

You can read here about how we work with clients on transforming ways of working and measuring human sustainability.

New Partnerships and Advisory Support

We’re thrilled to have formed partnerships with two fantastic organisations, both with a core focus on brain health.

 
 

We’ve signed an associate partnership agreement with Business for Health, a business-led social venture in the UK supporting long-term sustainable innovation and investment in preventative health and care.

Together we will further our commitment to human sustainability globally, where we will collaborate on (amongst other things) the acceleration of bringing ‘H’ into ESG through evidence generation and policy advocacy. Read more about our partnership here.

 
 

Our founder Linda Jarnhamn has joined as an Advisor to the Business Collaborative for Brain Health in the US, an alliance of private sector partners developing effective solutions to optimise cognitive health throughout the lifespan.

A true meeting of minds with regards to both, no pun intended.

That’s it for this month! Please do stay in touch and please share your thoughts on both our new blog and podcast.
