Lucy Siegle

Lucy Siegle is a leading British journalist and broadcaster dedicated to environmental justice and ecological preservation. A familiar face on BBC One’s The One Show, she has spent years investigating the impact of single-use plastics and promoting sustainable lifestyle choices. Her work extends across the UK’s most respected publications, including The Times and The Guardian, and she is the founder of the long-running Observer Ethical Awards. Beyond the page, she hosts the popular climate podcast So Hot Right Now, where she has interviewed influential figures such as Sir David Attenborough. Regarded as a global authority on the environmental footprint of the fashion industry, Lucy co-executive produced the Netflix documentary The True Cost, which was based on her 2012 Orwell Prize-nominated book, To Die For. Her newer literary works, such as Turning the Tide on Plastic and Be the Ultimate Friend of the Earth, offer practical strategies for reducing human impact on the natural world. She remains at the forefront of the green movement, having devised the Green Carpet Challenge and chaired significant debates on textile sustainability at the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Now serving as a trustee for Surfers Against Sewage, Lucy continues to demonstrate her personal commitment to the environment by clearing plastic waste from the River Thames. As a speaker, she combines extensive investigative experience with a professional, engaging delivery, helping modern audiences navigate the complexities of corporate social responsibility and ethical consumerism. On stage, Lucy Siegle is best known for talks on Eco-Living, Corporate Social Responsibility, Sustainability and Environmental Awareness. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room. Their work resonates with leaders across Media & Broadcasting, Publishing and Sustainability & Environment, where the themes translate directly into team decisions, customer experience and growth strategy. Lucy Siegle is regularly booked for Business Speaker and Awards Hosts, adapting tone, length and format to suit the event — from a 20-minute opener to a full conference keynote with Q&A. Based in UK, Lucy Siegle travels internationally for engagements.
