Virgin Limited Edition has launched a four-part video series to give a "behind-the-scenes" look at Sir Richard Branson’s private island retreat Necker Island.

The brand said the series, entitled Creating A Better Future, would give viewers a first-hand insight into the “extensive and ongoing” work that Necker Island is doing around sustainability and conservation.

The first episode launched on YouTube today (October 19) and sees Branson sharing an overview of the property alongside aerial shots of the resort in the British Virgin Islands and its varied wildlife. 

“If you’re lucky enough to be in a position where you are known around the world, for one reason or another, it’s incredibly important to set a good example to others,” Branson says in the video. 

The remaining three videos delve into three areas in which Necker Island is reportedly instigating change both on the island and within the wider Caribbean community, including wildlife, renewable energy and food.

Virgin Limited Edition said each video will highlight ways the island “intends to continue making strides in the sustainability space and highlight the need for good leadership”.

The remaining episodes can be found on YouTube and will be released over the course of November on November 1, November 15 and November 29.
