On the latest episode of Future Bites, we sit down with Santosh Salunkhe, Transformation & Social Value Manager at Dunsters Farm (spoiler: not actually a farm), to talk about what happens when sustainability stops being a “role” and becomes a shared language across a fast-moving food business.

Santosh joined Future Green’s very first Carbon Literacy cohort in early 2024 — and now he’s trained 30+ colleagues (and even suppliers), helping embed systems thinking into everything from warehouse operations to customer conversations.

In this conversation, we uncover:

🚚 How carbon data can shift driver behaviour — from idling to freezer use in multi-temp fleets

🧠 Why “plastic blinkers” might be the most useful idea in the whole training

💬 How sustainability training helps sales teams speak with confidence (and credibility)

📉 The story behind a 70% reduction in plastic use — and a 40% cost saving

🌍 Why focusing on recycling alone can be a trap — and what to look at instead

This one’s a reminder that you don’t need to be a climate scientist to lead change — but you do need the tools, the mindset, and the confidence to act.
