Isaac Kenyon

Isaac Kenyon is a globally recognised world-record-breaking eco-adventurer and sustainability thought leader, helping organisations embed sustainability into leadership, culture, and decision-making. Turning climate ambition into measurable action with over £1 million raised for climate, mental health, and social impact campaigns, reaching half a million people globally and influencing corporate and policy leaders, highlights the real-world impact of his work. Combining world record-breaking expeditions with the lived experience of burnout and eco-anxiety, he shows leaders how resilience, human performance, and sustainability are inseparable, inspiring change that sticks.

Best known for translating extreme expeditions into actionable lessons on leadership, performance, and environmental responsibility, Isaac combines credibility built on action with practical insight. Corporate audiences, as recognised by UNFCCC, Accenture, Adidas, and other organisations worldwide, consistently rate his talks >9/10 for impact and relevance. Isaac’s approach is shaped by both adventure and adversity. With ventures such as completing a low-impact 40-day unsupported Atlantic Ocean row, Isaac turns extreme feats into inspiring and actionable lessons in resilience, strategy, and sustainable leadership with his insights into resourcefulness and sustainable systems in extreme environments. His sustainability achievements have been featured in international media and include completing a world-first eco-adventure cycling across the UK with the use of a waterbike, raising awareness for climate action, and being a special invitation speaker at COP26, where his award-winning Albert-certified carbon-neutral journey film was screened to global leaders.

Beyond adventure, Isaac combines strategic business expertise with environmental leadership. He serves as Global Vice President for Energy Transition & Decarbonisation at MapStand, is a Marine Conservation Society spokesperson, and is the founder and CEO of Climate Explorers CIC, a mission-driven, nature-based learning and impact certified B Corporation that helps global organisations integrate leadership development, wellbeing, and ESG initiatives into immersive programmes delivering measurable benefits for people, culture, and the environment. He is also a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, Geological Society of London, British Exploring Society, and Scientific Exploration Society.

Through over 100 corporate keynotes delivered worldwide, Isaac shows leaders how ESG strategy, wellbeing, and performance are inseparable. His TEDx talk, ‘Freedom and Opportunity from Being Outdoors’, exemplifies his style: engaging, actionable, and emotionally resonant. In an era of regulatory pressure, climate risk, and workforce burnout, Isaac Kenyon helps organisations embed sustainability into culture, leadership, and everyday decision-making, turning ambition into lasting impact.
