Learn how to green your business from one of the UK' s leading corporate activists. Can you reverse climate change and promote social justice while generating a profit? Richard Walker shows you how it' s both possible and essential. Walker runs a e4bn privately owned family business that is affecting real change in the most unlikely but critical sector- the supermarket. From removing plastic from their own label to eradicating palm oil from products, his quest is to find purpose with profit for his business. In this intimate, challenging, and encouraging book, he explains how you too can make genuine progress on sustainable initiatives while being realistic about profit margins, and obligations to customers and employees. The Green Grocer offers clear-sighted experience and inspiration for any business, whether a large corporation, a kitchen-table start-up, or a sole trader, to make a difference.
Richard Walker is the managing director of Iceland Foods, a company that has led the way with ethical business practices in the UK since the 1980s.

He often appears on BBC' s Question Time and starred in Channel 5' s Inside Iceland. He sits on the board of Trustees at the Iceland Foods Charitable Foundation, which has donated over e30m to charitable causes. In 2019, the foundation launched the Backyard Nature campaign, pledging 1 million hours of nature engagement to children, supported by the Duchess of Cambridge.
