We have always been committed to creating global change, with our current #Startsomewhere campaign calling on readers to speak up for the planet, take positive action, and reduce their individual carbon footprint.
Our movement aims to inform and inspire, with features reminding us of our morals on plastic, plus practical articles explaining how we can rescue restaurant food with innovative waste saving apps and how to give your place of work an eco-friendly office makeover.
We can all be environmentally conscious, use our voices and bring about positive change, a message that we look forward to spreading further as we launch our first ever podcast, hosted by Marie Claire’s Global Chief Purpose and Sustainability Advisor, Sara Vaughan.
Introducing, Start Somewhere with Sara Vaughan.
Before joining Marie Claire, Sara worked as a Vice-President at Unilever, overseeing sustainable business and global communications, also holding previous positions at The Body Shop and ethical diamond brand, Forevermark. And since coming onboard, she has put her expertise into practice, writing opinion pieces on staying resilient in challenging times and turning saving the planet into a career, not to mention highlighting her hopes for our Start Somewhere campaign.
With her credibility within the sustainability sector and her global black book of industry contacts, we can’t think of a better person than Sara to lead this exciting project.
‘I’m an innovator & creator of brands with purpose & positive change maker,’ Sara explains. ‘This Start Somewhere podcast for Marie Claire features some of the incredibly inspiring people that I’m lucky enough to meet in the course of my work who are creating positive change in the world. Both women and men. The known and the not so known yet. Each with their own unique story of how they started somewhere.’
Series one launches with six episodes hosted by Sara Vaughan, with the first three dropping this week featuring guests Sian Sutherland, Shelley Zalis and Sarah Kate Ellis.
