Rob Greenland

Hello I'm Rob and I've worked in the world of social business and social innovation for most of my working life - getting on for 25 years now.

I started out working for a fairtrade cooperative in Leeds and then I worked for a few different organisations, supporting people to set up and run social enterprises.

In 2010 I co-founded a social enterprise which aims to develop creative, collaborative solutions to complex problems.  We set up various projects including Empty Homes Doctor and Zero Waste Leeds.  I left SBB in May 2023 and I am currently exploring what to focus on next. 

I'm a big fan of Doughnut Economics - I loved the book and I really like the focus on both the social and the environmental - you can't focus on one without thinking about the other.  I'm interested too in the circular economy - and more than anything I want to continue to explore ways we can respond to the #climateemergency.

I write here on Substack and have written here about Doughnut Economics.
