Catch Charmian Love on Do Radio: Miracles Happen Here with Jon Kaye and Alan Wick 27 April - 03 May 2026.

Charmian Love is a founding member of B Lab UK, a long-time champion of business as a force for good, and now the co-founder of Heliotropy, an investment company backing nature-positive ventures.

Her career has been a steady rebellion against the idea that profit sits at the top of the pyramid and everything else is a footnote. Through the B Corp movement, she helped redefine what success looks like in business, pushing companies to measure their impact on workers, communities and the environment, not just shareholders.

With Heliotropy, she’s taking that philosophy into capital itself. The focus is bold and urgent: investing in businesses that restore ecosystems, protect biodiversity and help rebalance our relationship with the natural world. This is finance not as extraction, but as regeneration.

She believes that capital can be catalytic. That investors can demand better. That entrepreneurs can build ventures designed not merely to minimise harm, but to create measurable good. And that when you align incentives with long-term planetary health, resilience follows.

In this episode, we explore what it takes to shift entire systems. How to move from ESG box-ticking to genuine accountability. And why the future of business belongs to those willing to widen the definition of value.
