Dr Dale Vince OBE
With over 25 years as a green entrepreneur, Dale Vince launched Ecotricity, the world’s first green energy company back in 1995. Today, it powers more than 200,000 homes and businesses across the UK with renewable energy from the wind and sun – and recently sold the Electric Highway, Europe’s first electric vehicle charging network. Dale also owns Devil’s Kitchen, which makes vegan school dinners, and his latest business, Skydiamond – creating lab grown diamonds with renewable energy. His work focuses on three key areas – energy, transport and food – collectively responsible for 80% of our own carbon emissions.
He is Chairman and owner of Forest Green Rovers - recognised by FIFA as the “world’s greenest football club” and became a United Nations Climate Champion in 2018. He launched his first book, Manifesto in 2020, and is Executive Producer of the Netflix Original documentary, Seaspiracy.
