Sustainability Drivers in Cement & Concrete ESG Decoded Podcast

In this episode, Erika Schiller is joined by Kayla Carey, ClimeCo's Senior Manager of Industrial Innovations, and Grant Quasha, Chief Executive Officer of Eco Material Technologies (Eco Material). 

With four billion tons of cement produced each year, this sector of the global economy is a heavy emitter, contributing up to 8% of global greenhouse gasses (GHGs). Listen as Erika, Kayla, and Grant discuss the current efforts to decarbonize building materials and how carbon credits are helping to incentivize more reductions. Learn about Eco Material and Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCM) and their role in sustainability solutions.

Kayla specializes in decarbonization for hard-to-abate sectors. With experience in sustainability management and energy policy, she helps ClimeCo's energy and industrial clients navigate environmental markets. Grant is advancing Eco Material’s business growth in new materials to displace traditional portland cement and lower the carbon footprint of our built environment.

About ESG Decoded

ESG Decoded is a podcast powered by ClimeCo to share updates related to business innovation and sustainability in a clear and actionable manner. Join Kaitlyn Allen, Amanda Hsieh, and Erika Schiller for thoughtful, nuanced conversations with industry leaders and subject matter experts that explore the complexities about the risks and opportunities connected to (E)nvironmental, (S)ocial and (G)overnance. We like to say that “ESG is everything that’s not on your balance sheet.” This leaves room for misunderstanding and oversimplification – two things that we’ll bust on this podcast.
