Environmental campaigner and co-founder of Planet Ark — on sustainability, community and what actually changes behaviour at scale.
Jon Dee is one of the most experienced environmental campaigners working in Australia — co-founder of Planet Ark, founder of Do Something! and a sustained body of work over more than three decades on the campaigns that have actually shifted Australian behaviour around recycling, single-use plastics and household environmental practice. Few advocates in this country can point to as long a record of measurable impact.
His speaking is direct, evidence-led and shaped by decades of working with corporate partners, government and consumer audiences on what actually moves the needle. He talks frankly about what works, what doesn't, and what the next decade of sustainable behaviour change is going to require.
For event organisers, Jon is a strong fit for sustainability conferences, retail and consumer events, leadership programs and in-house audiences where the brief is substantive content on behaviour change and the practical mechanics of sustainability.
Jon Dee is a keynote speaker based in New South Wales who speaks on inspiration, leadership and sustainability & ESG. Book through Executive Speakers Australia.

He was very accommodating to move his session to an earlier time slot due to last minute circumstances. He’s a wealth of knowledge and has been happy to share his knowledge, contacts and ideas from the outset and has gone over and above to ensure our event was a success. His actual presentation was executed perfectly, covering the brief, adhering to the time restriction and also allowing for Q&A from the audience too. An absolute pleasure to have Jon as part of our Melbourne LIVE event and would definitely recommend him to anyone in the future.Destination Melbourne
