    Electrification at Scale: Rethinking Transport and Energy with Mats Larsson

    The electrification of vehicles is advancing rapidly, but scaling it responsibly requires more than new technology. It demands systems thinking, collaboration, and long-term vision. In this episode, Mats Larsson, Founder of the Global Energy Transformation Institute, shares insights from over three decades at the intersection of energy transformation, vehicle electrification, and sustainability. The conversation explores what it really takes to accelerate electric mobility, from grid readiness and charging infrastructure to policy alignment and equitable access. A practical, forward-looking discussion on why vehicle electrification is one of the most important transitions shaping our climate and economic future.  For more content, do visit: Mats’ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matslarsson-author Global Energy Transformation Institute: https://www.getinstitute.com Email Mats: mats@getinstitute.com AstroX: https://www.angkasawan.org.my Email Dr Faiz: mfaiz@angkasawan.org.my Dr Faiz’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gofaiz   Creating positive change, one episode at a time.

    Rethinking Zero Waste with Ushma Pandya

    In this episode, Ushma Pandya, co-founder of Think Zero, reveals how companies can meaningfully reduce waste and emissions without sacrificing profitability. Drawing from her experience advising global firms, serving on NYC’s Solid Waste Advisory Board, and working across corporate, nonprofit, and policy spaces, Ushma breaks down what actually drives long-term sustainability change. We explore why measurement matters, how circular design can reshape products and packaging, and why waste reduction only sticks when changes in consumers’ behaviour occur. This conversation is a practical guide for entrepreneurs, leaders, and organisations looking to build climate-conscious models that work in the real world.

    Beyond Profit Forum 2025

    In this episode, we head to Riyadh for the inaugural Beyond Profit Forum held on the 3rd and 4th of December 2025. Hosted by the National Center for Non-Profit, the forum brought together over 3,300 leaders, innovators, and philanthropists from 93 countries to reimagine the future of social impact amid global uncertainty. This episode features insights from the opening keynote panel, When Belts Buckle, States Retreat: A Moment of Choice and Innovation for New Philanthropy, which explored how shrinking public budgets and shifting geopolitics are forcing the nonprofit and philanthropy sectors to evolve. Panellists discussed emerging models, including impact-linked funding, corporate and non-profit co-creation, and the growing role of private capital in strengthening, not replacing, state priorities. With perspectives from leaders including H.H. Princess Nouf Al Saud (CEO, King Khalid Foundation), H.H. Prince Mansour bin Saad bin Farhan Al Saud (Assistant Secretary General, King Faisal Foundation), Alvaro Rodriguez Arregui (Co-founder & Managing Partner, IGNIA), Asif Saleh (Executive Director, BRAC), and Catalyst Now's Chief Facilitator Fredrik Galtung, moderated by Matthew Bishop (Founder of Social Progress Imperative), this episode offers a thoughtful look at collaboration, accountability, and systems-level change.
