Introducing Molly!

We’d like to introduce you to Molly Hannafin , the latest starter in the Greenheart ecosystem. We sat down with Molly to explore her motivations, career journey, and current inspirations.

Tell us a bit about yourself, Molly?

I’m extremely passionate about both social and environmental sustainability and having a career that aligns with these personal values is a non-negotiable for me.

I’m driven by the powerful role business can play in creating a more just and regenerative world. I’ve worked with a range of organisations from start-ups to multinationals across various industries, always aiming to take an action-focused and positive approach to my work. I specialise in supporting companies on their B Corp journey and advising on impact improvement, as well as helping brands communicate about sustainability with confidence.

I recently completed my Master’s degree in Sustainable Development which allowed me to gain a deep understanding of the challenges we face and strengthened my passion for helping purpose-driven businesses create positive change. I’m motivated by my love for all things nature and wellbeing; catch me at the gym, eating great food, in the forest or searching for the nearest body of water to jump into.

Why have you chosen to join the Greenheart ecosystem??

Greenheart’s values align closely with my own and I could tell very quickly that the ecosystem culture was a good fit. I’ve already had such inspiring conversations with the team and it’s clear everyone is truly committed to creating positive change. I’m excited to join such a passionate and experienced group of people who acknowledge the need for transformative action!

What are the three changes most needed in order for every business to thrive by caring for people and planet as much as profit?

1. The willingness to measure success in ways other than profit, and proper acknowledgement that current systems are not set up to enable people and planet to thrive.
2. Discovering each organisation’s authentic purpose, that can help them move beyond sustainability and towards regenerative business practices.
3. More time in nature. Connecting to the natural world is so influential in helping us realise what’s truly important in life. If more people were able to connect with, and immerse in, nature more often, priorities would shift at a faster rate.

And finally, what brings you the most joy?

Those magical moments where you take a minute to step back and bask in the beauty of, and gratitude for, life. For me, they mostly come when I’m out in nature or with people I love.
