Ssn4 Ep7 - Redefining High-End Hospitality, Sustainably, at Dusit Princess
Can luxury and sustainability actually go hand in hand? 🌿 We sit down with Daniel Charlton, General Manager of Dusit Princess Hotel Residences Nairobi, to go behind the scenes of a planet-conscious, high-end hotel in the heart of Westlands.With a career in food & beverage and luxury hospitality across Cairo, Cuba, the Maldives and Manila, Daniel brings a practical, back-of-house view of what it takes to run a green hotel without compromising on the guest experience.
In this episode we get into:
✨ How Dusit's Tree of Life framework (39 objectives!) works in practice
✨ Why buffets are "the worst thing" for sustainability, and how plated portions cut plate waste
✨ Sourcing locally, and working with Kenyan farmers on beef, pork and more
✨ Why hotels now wash linen every 3 days, and why it's not about saving money
✨ How a hotel cut water use by 40% overnight with simple aerators
✨ Why we should educate young people, and why AI will never replace the human touch in hospitality
✨ Etc!
This podcast breaks down complex climate, sustainability and impact topics into plain, practical language, so you can answer three questions:
1️⃣ How does this affect me?
2️⃣ What power do I actually have to make things better?
3️⃣ How can we influence the systems around us to step up?
Because once you know better, you do better.

Ssn4 Ep5 - Why Context is Everything in Sustainability
Sustainability frameworks built in the Global North rarely survive contact with a Nairobi matatu stage, a half-acre coffee farm, or an MSME just trying to keep the lights on. So what happens when you try to make "sustainable" actually work for African businesses?On this episode, Ella sits down with Luke Hayman, Founder and Executive Director of Sustainable Africa (formerly Sustainable Kenya) - a Nairobi-based platform building sustainability data infrastructure that translates global frameworks into tools that actually fit African business realities. Luke works at the intersection of sustainability, technology, and green finance, helping businesses and institutions respond to rising regulatory and market pressure without losing the local context.We get into why 600+ global sustainability frameworks miss the point in informal economies, how AI is quietly powering everything from coffee traceability to Swahili-language assessments, what "ESG theatre" really looks like, and why margins - not motivation - are the real barrier for businesses trying to do the right thing.🎧 In this episode:- Why Western sustainability frameworks don't translate to African MSMEs- The Nairobi Coffee Exchange & untangling a siloed value chain- Using AI for document verification, voice notes & Swahili assessments- Spotting "ESG theatre" as an everyday consumer- Inside the Sustainable Africa (previously, Sustainable Kenya) business directory - what it takes to get listed- Why sustainability needs to sit inside every job, not just a "sustainability officer"- Building green career pathways for Kenya's youthDuring the recording of this ep, they were Sustainable Kenya. Now, they are Sustainable Africa, which speaks to the immense growth, and trajectory of their impact, not only in Kenya, but all over Africa!
