He/Him

Andy Last co-founded salt, one of the first UK companies to be accredited as a B- Corporation, and has advised businesses for the last 20 years on how they can improve performance by addressing social issues.  His book, Business on a Mission: How To Build a Sustainable Brand, was first published in 2016 and described by Paul Polman as, "A timely reminder that the primary purpose of business has always been to serve a clear social need, brilliantly combined here with a well-illustrated roadmap of how we can get back to that essential objective." A second edition was published in January 2022, featuring new chapters on the rise of ESG in investment decision-making and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on sustainable business.
