ESG: Past, Present, Future

We’re ending Season Two by tackling the question we’ve all been asked at one time or another: Why should we care about ESG?  

In this episode, Kati and Jennifer look at our history, from the early concepts of a “license to operate,” to today’s increasing regulations around sustainability claims coming from both EMEA and the U.S.  

As Mike Wallace, decarbonization officer at Persefoni, states: “You’re going to have to figure out what’s the language you’re going to use to stay in compliance, but also continue to do business with your biggest customers asking you for sustainability, carbon data or ESG data.”

Our theme music is “Lost in Translation” by Wendy Marcini and Elvin Vangard.
