Why this podcast exists
The back room is the space behind. The real disorder. The processes nobody shows. What does not appear in the report or in the presentation to the board. The sustainability sector has a lot of shopfront and very little back room. There are many principles, many frameworks, and very few conversations about what actually happens when you try to implement them.
At Dcycle we have spent years in that back room. With sustainability teams that have to defend their data to the CFO. With consultants managing twenty clients who have nobody to speak to openly. With executives who have spent months signing off on reports they do not fully understand. It was time to open that door.
