Perspectives on Sustainable Development

ESG is a hot button issue for some, but executives see it as a risk mitigation and environmental stewardship question. Cut back all of the noise and fundamental questions remain on how climate change impacts will affect business and its relationship with local communities.
Few are more well-versed in these issues than Matthew Sekol (Microsoft) and Christine Uri (ESG for In-House Counsel). Chris was thrilled to be joined by both experts in this episode. It was a jam-packed hour where we discussed;
- How companies look at ESG and how that has changed over the last 5-10 years,
- Effects of greenwashing,
- Carbon offsets,
- The affects of AI on ESG,
and much more.
Also Matt and Christine had extensive resource ideas to share with our viewers.
