Excellent topic choice, relevant guest interviews and quality delivery

Sustainability Leadership delivers one of the best quality shows on Sustainability Management generally and green finance specifically. While moderator delivery of interview questions and topics come across a bit scripted at times this does suggest attention to detail and is definitely preferable to “ums” and “ahs” throughout. One senses that BMO takes its initiatives in sustainability seriously.
