In this podcast episode, we speak with Adrian Minshull, co-founder, CEO and Managing Director of the Hydroflux Group, one of Australia’s fastest growing and leading specialist water and wastewater solutions providers and Julia Seddon, CEO and Director of Cress Consulting, a subsidiary of the Hydroflux group.

We talk about the group’s climate strategy , how they tackle their emissions and climate risks and why they decided to go carbon neutral under Climate Active. We explore innovative solutions for water and wastewater that align with SDG 6, save energy, and produce renewable energy and fertiliser.
