Welcome to the September edition of Business Review Europe . This month our front of book focuses on the sustainability sphere , charting the initiatives of some industry giants .

First up is my visit to Proctor & Gamble to interview Global Sustainability Director Virginie Helias , who told me about her desire to make her role redundant by embedding a sustainable ethos across P & G ’ s vast brand portfolio . We discuss notable achievements made by its Febreze , Fairy and Pampers brands .

Another manufacturing giant is Interface , producer of £ 1 billion-worth of carpet tiles each year . Sustainability Director Ramon Arratia tells us about its target to completely wipe out its carbon footprint by 2020 – Mission Zero . Also looking to go completely carbon neutral is the Formula E racing championships , in alliance with Italian energy powerhouse Enel . Read our Q & A to find out more about the pioneering partnership .

We turn from protecting the planet to protecting the people in our profile with Irish Defence Forces , looking at how the organisation is transforming its technology processes to enable flexible communication and access to information wherever and whenever it is needed .

I hope you enjoy the issue – join the debate @ BizReviewEurope
