Lucy Siegle's biography

At a glance

  • BBC One reporter on environmental issues
  • Author of influential sustainability books
  • Co-executive producer of The True Cost documentary

Lucy Siegle is a journalist, broadcaster, and sustainability advocate specialising in climate, nature, and the environmental impact of consumerism.


As a presenter on BBC One’s The One Show and co-executive producer of the Netflix documentary The True Cost, Lucy has built a reputation for making ecological issues more accessible and encouraging action. Her focus includes the environmental and social footprint of the global fashion industry and the widespread problem of single-use plastics.


Lucy’s interest in sustainability developed through years of reporting on the challenges posed by fast fashion, plastic pollution, and corporate greenwashing. Her book To Die For: Is Fashion Wearing Out the World? served as the foundation for The True Cost, a documentary that exposed the social and environmental consequences of the fashion industry. This work established Lucy as an advocate for ethical fashion and responsible consumer choices.


Throughout her career, Lucy has highlighted the need for industries to address their environmental impact, often challenging the narratives of major fashion brands. As a co-founder of the Green Carpet Challenge with Livia Firth, Lucy has also worked to promote sustainable fashion at high-profile events such as the Oscars and Met Ball.


Lucy has written five books on environmental topics, is a trustee for Surfers Against Sewage, and serves as an ambassador for WWF UK and The Circle. With her extensive experience in journalism and sustainability, she is a valued speaker who helps audiences understand the connection between individual choices and global environmental challenges.

Does PepTalk charge a booking fee?

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.

What happens after I send a brief?

Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.

What does the typical fee range mean?

The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.

Have all the speakers on the website worked with PepTalk before?

Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.

How far in advance should I book a speaker?

Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
