Innovation has provided much of technology and expertise we have to deal with much of the emissions, if applied correctly. However, with more of the world’s investors realising the risk and opportunity associated with building a Net Zero economy, in discussion with Anthesis CEO Stuart McLachlan, we look at the role Anthesis Ventures is playing in bringing new ways of thinking and ground-breaking technologies to the market.
Energy efficiency and renewable energy form big parts of any organisation’s Net Zero strategy. But heat and embodied carbon in materials are two aspects of Scopes 1, 2 & 3 greenhouse gases that can be challenging to overcome. In this episode, our host Tobias Parker talks to Ben Lynch, Anthesis UK Director, about the new trends that are emerging for low carbon heat.
The best way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is to avoid them in the first place through better design and smarter decision-making. We talk with Sara Telahoun, Senior Consultant in Anthesis UK to explore how cities and governments are moving towards Net Zero by utilising digital platforms such as Anthesis’ SCATTER tool to explore pathways for decarbonising at the city scale.
It is increasingly recognised that organisations are likely to continue to emit residual emissions from operations and their supply chains. But to achieve a Net Zero position, action must be taken which balances this out through off-site mechanisms through removing or avoiding emissions elsewhere. In this episode, our host Tobias Parker talks with Nadège Trocellier, Anthesis Lavola Climate Change Manager, about insetting and offsetting carbon emissions as investment vehicles for reducing risk, and improving value chain performance.

In episode 12, our host Chris Peterson is joined by Anthesis Principal Consultants Elena Kocherovsky and Honor Cowen to discuss COVID-19 implications for supply chain relationships in the apparel industry. They draw connections between social and environmental sustainability and discuss opportunities to #buildbackbetter.

How are companies responding and are they pivoting to a longer term view or still reacting? How are climate change and social issues connected in the apparel industry? Is there any advice in order to build back better? What directions should apparel companies move into?
