What’s one idea that has challenged your thinking? >

By Jo Hooke | 17 April, 2025

At last month’s Anthropy25, we connected with some of the UK’s most forward-thinking leaders across finance, farming, tech, policy, and purpose driven enterprise. Centred on the mission of Rebooting Britain, the Anthropy25 Gathering provided a powerful setting for bold conversations about the nation’s social, economic, and environmental future. Against this backdrop, we asked a single question: What’s the one idea that challenged your thinking at Anthropy25?

Thanks to Steve Holliday, Chair of CityFibre and Zenobe, Maria Carvalho, Head of Climate Economics at NatWest, Isabel Berwick, Working It Editor at the Financial Times, and the many other inspiring voices from WWF-UK, Girl Up UK and pioneering founders in sustainability and the circular economy.

Here’s what they had to say.
