His adventurous spirit and relentless pursuit of excellence set the stage for a compelling narrative that blends personal achievement with a deep commitment to sustainability.

Since 2019, Isaac has also contributed as a Trustee Board Member and Sustainability and Environment Lead for Mind In Mid Herts, ensuring mental health and environmental support in the region. A qualified mountain leader, Isaac is an adventurer at heart; he is the founder of Atlantic Discovery, which raised £120,000 to row across the Atlantic in forty days in aid of charitable causes.

“Earlier this month I had the pleasure of attending the BBC Sustainability Symposium. A key highlight was Isaac Kenyon’s speech supporting mental health and sustainability initiatives under his ‘Climate Explorers’ social enterprise. Supporting mental health and our planet all in one was inspirational to hear! Thank you for sharing your story, a great reminder we can do anything we set out minds to… and support our planet while we do it.”

“I recently saw Isaac Kenyon speak a tthe BBC Sustainability Symposium. How to describe him? That’s a nice challenge! Isaac is “a philanthropic world-record-breaking British eco-adventurer.” That captures a slither of his diverse talents and experiences. In the beguiling Broadcasting House Radio Theatre, I found Isaac’s keynote talk compelling because his story brings together sustainability, nature, mental health, physical challenges, and the great outdoors… among many other things. I learned that Isaac is a natural leader, serious over-achiever, and brilliant communicator, but he’s also humble and vulnerable. That’s an appealing mix, and should inspire what we mean by leadership today.”
