    Ep. 46 Nicole Systrom on Combating the Climate Crisis with an "Investment Revolution"

    Now that the U.S. has just elected a presidential candidate with the most specific, ambitious and comprehensive climate plan ever put forward by a national party candidate, how can the new administration make up for the lost time over the last 4 years? Nicole Systrom, Founder of Sutro Energy Group, works with investors and clean tech social entrepreneurs and is a climate activist who believes there are things President Biden--and everyone--can and must do to address climate change in his first few months in office. As a member of Climate Leaders for Biden, she is laser focused on addressing the climate crisis and can discuss what’s needed from investors, philanthropists and policymakers to move the needle forward at last, from supporting local environmental justice groups to making a first low-carbon investment. And, as someone who advises clean-tech entrepreneurs, she’s knowledgeable about the innovation that’s needed from startups too. Come join us as we learn more about the much needed “investment revolution” to combat the climate crisis. Nicole serves on the board of directors for Activate, a non-profit supporting entrepreneurial scientists and engineers tackling the world's biggest challenges; Prime Coalition, a non-profit providing funding to companies combating climate change; and the Energy Foundation.

    Ep. 45 Judy Samuelson on Creating Real Value in a Changing World

    Today we’re fortunate to be joined by Judy Samuelson, vice president at the Aspen Institute, Founder and Executive Director of the Aspen Institute Business and Society Program, and author of her new book THE SIX NEW RULES FOR BUSINESS: Creating Real Value in a Changing World. We’re going to talk about Judy’s path as well as get a sneak peek at her book, out January 12, 2021. In it, Judy discusses the profound shifts in attitudes and mindsets that are redefining our notions of what constitutes business success. Changes such as transparency, the power of the worker's voice, and the lessening importance of capital. How do we balance the needs of our global supply chains with the reality of our limited natural resources?. Judy gives us a roadmap on how to engage business decision-makers and identify the forces that are moving the needle in both boardrooms and business classrooms and offers a powerful guide to how businesses are changing today—and how best to succeed in tomorrow's economic and social landscapes.

    Ep. 44 Kathleen McLaughlin Walmart's EVP + Chief Sustainability Officer on Climate and Sustainability

    Sustainability and climate are front and center among many corporations and U.S. manufacturers as they step up and adopt more sustainable practices around their supply chains across industries. Some are just getting started, hiring sustainability officers, switching to renewable energy, and taking other initial steps. Today, however, "do less harm," is not enough—companies need to operate as regenerative businesses that give back. Walmart, an early mover in this field, is moving into the sustainable and regenerative future. In this episode of SOCAP Leadership, SOCAP Global President Kate Bryne has a conversation with Walmart's Executive Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer Kathleen McLaughlin.

    Marci Zaroff has been leading the charge in the health, wellness, and organic apparel industries since the '90s — as in, before it was cool.
