Lucy Smaill on The Responsible Edge: Transition plans are the key to turning sustainability promises into action

Lucy Smaill, Head of Communications at Sillion, was invited to join Charlie Martin on The Responsible Edge podcast this week. Together, they explored a critical question: in the ever-evolving landscape of sustainability, where bold commitments are the norm, what happens after a company pledges net-zero goals or ambitious ESG targets?

According to Lucy, the answer lies in transition plans. In the episode, she provided a deep dive into why these plans are the linchpin for turning high-level commitments into practical, measurable progress.

“If a plan doesn’t inspire action, it’s not working. Transition plans should clearly outline who needs to do what, whether it’s a supplier reducing emissions or an employee adopting more sustainable practices.”
