5. The Sustainable Enterprise with Mike Mcilroy

by Bobby Jagdevin Mike Mcilroy, Podcasts, Politics, Sustainabilityon Posted on


In this episode, my guest Mike Mcilory takes you on a journey from 1970’s Liverpool to the modern world at this present time. Mike spent his formative years growing up in the recession-hit city of Liverpool. We explore how his environment in the 70’s not only shaped Mike but became the underpinning principles to why he co-founded Liberas Solutions.

“This pandemic feels like a reset, a greater power has turned the world on its side, found the factory reset button and stuck a pin in it.”

Mike’s team are now using their experience in the field of ERP to help organisations forecast, execute and monitor their net-zero carbon emission targets. Carbon accounting is a digital process that will enable organisations to become socially responsible.

  • Why the sustainable enterprise that focuses on people and planet will win in this new economy
