The guests of the show are Piret Vacht, associate professor of environmental management at Tallinn University, Evelin Heiberg, head of sustainability at Orkla Estonia, and Katrin Bats, head of responsible business at Rimi, who has recently been awarded the title of the best sustainability manager in the Baltics.

The show is hosted by Katre Savi.
