Dale Vince

Dale Vince, nicknamed Labour’s Green Knight by The Sunday Times, is a green industrialist who has dedicated his life to championing environmental sustainability. Since founding the world’s first green energy company, Ecotricity, in 1996 he has been on a mission to change the face of the industry by leading the move away from fossil fuels towards renewables. Using business as a tool for environmentalism, Dale is helping to lead the eco revolution. He runs Forest Green Rovers FC, dubbed the world’s greenest football team by FIFA; creates diamonds out of atmospheric carbon – Skydiamonds; builds windmills for export around the world – Britwind; has launched a range of vegan burgers and earlier this year launched the world’s first electric airline Ecojet. In 2004, he was awarded an OBE from the Queen for services to the environment and was appointed the UN Ambassador for Climate Change in 2019. He also made the world’s first electric supercar and built the Electric Car Super Charging Highway, the UK’s first national network of EV charging stations. His first book, Manifesto, a Sunday Times Best Seller, unlocks the tools for changing the world and is an ode to being more eco-conscious, visionary and determined than ever.
