In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we're talking to Procter & Gamble's Chief Sustainability Officer, Virginie Helias. The global consumer goods giant has a market capitalization of more than $343 billion and its products include household staples like laundry detergent, diapers, toothpaste and shampoo. Virginie explains how P&G is navigating sustainability challenges, including cutting emissions in its supply chain, current economic and geopolitical headwinds, and changing customer behavior.   "We need to reinvent the business case," Virginie says. "We need to create new tailwinds and the new tailwinds will be, first, innovation that delivers superior value. And for us, that means where sustainability becomes an amplifier of performance."  The interview took place on the sidelines of The Nest Climate Campus, where the All Things Sustainable podcast was an official media partner during Climate Week NYC 2025.  This interview is the latest installment in our CSO Insights podcast series, where we interview CSOs around the world about how they're navigating the changing sustainability landscape. The sustainability space has been through enormous transformation in recent years and CSOs have a front-row seat to this evolution.  Listen to other episodes in the CSO Insights podcast series:   CSO Insights: How auto giant General Motors is driving EV adoption  CSO Insights: Singapore's biggest bank on the 'business imperative' of climate action  CSO Insights: How a big Malaysian bank balances climate, nature, human rights and economic inclusion  CSO Insights: How sustainability pullback is playing out in Southeast Asia Learn about the Global Carbon Markets Conference from S&P Global Commodity Insights taking place in Barcelona shortly after COP30.  This piece was published by S&P Global Sustainable1 and not by S&P Global Ratings, which is a separately managed division of S&P Global.  Copyright ©2025 by S&P Global       DISCLAIMER      By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.

TALK long enough about green shipping scenarios and sooner or later all roads lead to Africa. Africa's renewable energy potential, particularly in solar and wind, is vast and largely untapped, which explains why green energy investment in Africa is booming. Imports of solar panels, largely from China, are up 60% in the past 12 months alone. While that is from a relatively low base, the investments are coming thick and fast when it comes to clean fuel production. Given the collapse of the Net-Zero Framework at the International Maritime Organization and the context of a somewhat lacklustre COP out in Brazil, you may well be asking yourself: “why am I listening to yet another decarbonisation diatribe?” Regardless of the headline political headwinds, the business case for green shipping projects continues to be relevant. And if you're looking for some optimism to get you through some admittedly uncertain times when it comes to shipping's decarbonisation agenda, Africa is good place to start. This week's episode of the podcast travels to Namibia and South Africa, via a green corridor into Europe, to understand why Africa could hold the key to shipping's decarbonisation. Joining Richard on this week's podcast are: Alexander Saverys, chief executive, CMB.Tech Jesse Fahnestock, decarbonisation director, Global Maritime Forum James Mnyupe, senior vice-president sub-Saharan Africa, Thyssenkrupp Subscribe to Lloyd's List: www.lloydslistintelligence.com/products/…oyds-list Learn more about Lloyd's List Intelligence: www.lloydslistintelligence.com/

In the race to decarbonize agriculture, the spotlight often falls on carbon sequestration, genetics, and alternative proteins. But have we overlooked something that's right in front of us? Electricity.Mike Casey is a self-described “tech bro turned farmer” from Cromwell, New Zealand. Mike runs what's believed to be the world's first fully electric farm, made up of 21 electric machines, from irrigation systems and frost-fighting fans, to electric tractors and forklifts. His business is aptly named Electric Cherries, where power is generated from renewable sources on-farm. Mike says this has enabled him to save tens of thousands on energy costs every year, while also developing a business model for farming that's both profitable and low-carbon.Sarah and Mike discuss:How an old diesel pump kicked off Mike's electrification crusadeThe economics of going electric on a farm (and is it only possible in New Zealand or on a cherry farm?)What electric machinery changes (and doesn't) about running a farm business Why farmers stand to benefit from the shift away from centralized, fossil fuel power generation to decentralized renewable energyMike is also the CEO of Rewiring Aotearoa, a movement helping Kiwis switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy.

In this episode of the Glowing Older podcast, host NancyGriffin interviews Jacynth Bassett, founder and CEO of Ageism is Never In Style®. They discuss the importance of age inclusivity, the challenges of combating ageism, and the progress made in the last decade. Jacynth shares insights on the business case for age diversity, the role of language in shaping perceptions, and the global movement towards recognizing the value of aging well.About JacynthJacynth Bassett is an award-winning, global expert, thoughtleader, and keynote speaker on age-inclusivity, longevity, andintergenerational strategy. She is Founder and CEO of Ageism Is Never In Style®, the leading consultancy and platform driving business and cultural change around age and generations.Through a holistic approach combining strategy and thoughtleadership, talent and market insight, and community and cultural influence, Jacynth empowers clients to turn age and generational inclusivity into a competitive advantage.Her global work - from consulting with Fortune 500s to SMEsand non-profits, to creating viral, groundbreaking campaigns including #ILookMyAge (45+ million views), to hosting an intergenerational community of 300k+ with a 90-day reach of 10 million - is indisputably changing narratives and hearts and minds, pioneering both businesses and individuals to embrace age-inclusivity.She has been recognized as one of the Evening Standard's “22Londoners Changing the World,” Anti-Ageist Activist of the Year, and awarded the Exceptional Achievement Award at the Silver Marketing Association 2025 Awards. At the core of her work is a bold, intergenerational ethos, making her one of the most influential voices shaping age and generational inclusivity today and tomorrow.Key TakeawaysThe World Health Organization reports that one in twopeople holds strong ageist beliefs. Often hidden in humor or everyday interactions, ageism can be subtle yet pervasive. Education and awareness are essential to overcoming internalized ageism.Language shapes how we perceive aging and can shiftattitudes and beliefs. While brands may show age diversity in images, their messaging often undermines it through word choice.Age inclusiveness is a strategic imperative. There must be a business as well as an ethical and social case for change. AARP found that 70 % of consumers of all ages are more likely to shop with a brand if it features a diverse mix of ages in its advertising. The demographic shift demands a new view of age and life stage. By 2030, nearly half of the UK workforce will be over 50. Age-diverse, intergenerational teams drive greater innovation, resilience, and profitability.Longevity has become a catchall term, preferred overaging. It implies living better as well as longer, yet is often co-opted to mean biohacking or reversing aging.

She describes the range of responsibilities she carries. Kellee Ann also speaks of her presence at the upcoming RIMS ERM Conference 2025 on November 17th and 18th in Seattle, Washington.   Listen for understanding about the complexity and interconnectivity of risks in ERM.   Key Takeaways: [:01] About RIMS and RIMScast. [:17] About this episode of RIMScast. Our guest is Kellee Ann Richards-St. Clair. She is the Vice President of Commercial at Phoenix Park Energy Marketing Limited, and a member of the RIMS Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council. There is much to discuss with her! But first… [:47] The next RIMS-CRMP-FED Virtual Workshop will be held on November 11th and 12th and led by Joseph Mayo. Links to these courses can be found through the Certifications page of RIMS.org and through this episode's show notes. [1:07] RIMS Virtual Workshops!

Fear not; ask Chris Hansen! RIMS members always enjoy deep discounts on the virtual workshops! [1:40] The full schedule of virtual workshops can be found on the RIMS.org/education and RIMS.org/education/online-learning pages. A link is also in this episode's notes. [1:51] RIMS Webinars! On November 6th, HUB will present "Geopolitical Whiplash — Building Resilient Global Risk Programs in an Unstable World". That session will be moderated by Christina Howard, our guest from last week. Register at RIMS.org/Webinars. [2:08] The RIMS ERM Conference 2025 will be on November 17th and 18th in Seattle, Washington. The agenda is live, and the link is available in this episode's show notes. [2:20] That brings us to today's guest, Kellee Ann Richards-St. Clair. She is the Vice President of Commercial at Phoenix Park Energy Marketing Limited, a U.S. subsidiary of Phoenix Park Gas Processors, LLC. [2:35] We're going to learn all about oil, gas, and the energy sector and how it intertwines with ERM. In addition, Kellee Ann will be making her RIMS ERM Conference debut! [2:48] Kellee Ann will be highly visible, especially on November 18th, when she leads the ERM Networking Breakfast, the Conference Finale Panel, and the recently added session at 1:30 p.m. on the 18th, "Exploiting Uncertainty: Making the Business Case for Strategic Risk Treatments." [3:09] That session was added after we recorded this interview, which is why we do not discuss it. Kellee Ann has a fascinating career and background. Between that and her presence at the ERM Conference, she's a wonderful guest, and I'm so glad we had this interview! [3:23] On with the show! Let's get to it! [3:25] Interview! Kellee Ann Richards-St. Clair, welcome to RIMScast! [3:34] Kellee Ann Richards-St. Clair, it's a pleasure to finally have you on our show!  [3:43] Kellee Ann is a relatively new member of the RIMS Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council. She will be at the RIMS ERM Conference on November 17th and 18th. She will lead the ERM Networking Breakfast Tabletop Discussions. [4:12] Kellee Ann has a fascinating career, and she works in a unique sector. She's an energy sector professional and works in the oil and gas industry. The key to her embarking on the risk journey was when she did her Master's in Project Management. [4:36] One of the areas was Project Risk Management, to which Kellee Ann had a great affinity. She liked the analytical thinking that goes behind assessing what could likely impact your project. [4:53] Also, the accountability and ownership that goes into the planning phase, making sure that you're thinking of everything that could go wrong, as a means of making sure that you're achieving your objectives. [5:05]  In 2004, Kellee Ann wrote her thesis on implementing enterprise risk management practices into private sector organizations. [5:15] It honed the tools she would use in project risk management with the greater goal of having a large impact on the organization, by impacting strategy and strategy delivery. [5:33] From there, Kellee Ann participated in risk committees in her organization and other organizations, helping them push the risk agenda and making sure they have the right mindset that allows them to make sure that they are achieving their business mandates. [5:59] Kellee Ann always intended to work in the energy sector in oil and gas. Her undergraduate degree is in chemistry. She always liked understanding how things are made and how they function. In the energy space, many of the operations are rooted in chemistry. [6:22] Kellee Ann speaks of the business component of getting the molecules out to market. ERM meshes with her affinity for chemistry, risk management, business, analytical thinking, and understanding how your business model functions and what could likely impact it.  [7:13] Kellee Ann has managed project risk registers for her department, on the commercial side. She is always risk-focused, identifying any threats to the business and incorporating that into contract negotiations, and how she liaises with her stakeholders and customers. [7:41] For Kellee Ann, it was a perfect match, meshing her passion and her job responsibility. In the risk management profession, you get to have a direct impact on the success or failure of your business. [8:03] Kellee Ann is based in Houston with Phoenix Park Energy Marketing Limited, the U.S. subsidiary of Phoenix Park Gas Processors LLC, which is located in Trinidad and Tobago. It's a natural gas processing facility. [8:23] Kellee Ann leads the commercial function of Phoenix Park Energy Marketing Limited. The energy sector is dynamic, impacted by geopolitics, the volatility of market prices, and even other industries, and the investments they make. [8:37] For example, AI requires lots of power to run. For AI development to be successful means heavily investing in power. That's likely to have an impact on commodity prices. Everything is interconnected. [8:52] Interconnected risk is a current process in terms of managing the complexity of the current business environment. The energy sector becomes a good proxy for how you manage complex operations and still run a profitable business, fulfilling its purpose and mission. [9:16] Kellee Ann's mental model of risk management is prudent decision-making. You have to be able to justify to the shareholders that you are leading the organization in the right direction and prove the thinking behind what you are recommending. [9:42] You have to demonstrate the value proposition: This is what will prevent me from implementing my mission, and this is what I'm going to put in place. [9:51] Even though this is preventing a threat, these are the opportunities I'm seeing out of it. This is how I can move the needle a little further, because I'm looking at it from a holistic perspective. I'm no longer looking at it as a separate function. It becomes good business. [10:16] Kellee Ann is not functionally in charge of commercial. She is in charge of the strategic aspects of it. The Risk Management Department focuses on the operational aspects of the business and also feeds in strategic elements. [10:29] Kellee Ann has incorporated ERM into her lifestyle because of her subject matter expertise. She has gotten the opportunity to lecture on enterprise risk management and offer consultancy for private sector organizations that are early adopters in terms of risk maturity. [10:49] Kellee Ann considers that she has a broad experience in risk management, leveraging the tools in each of her job responsibilities. [11:05] Kellee Ann is over enterprise risk management from a strategic perspective. She has a high-level view of all risks likely to impact operations. She ensures that all risk mitigations are in place and makes sure she is exploiting all opportunities the organization would like to embrace. [11:31] There is enterprise risk management expertise within the organization, focused on the functional perspective, while Kellee Ann focuses on the strategic perspective, looking at emerging risks and how they impact the business and the marketability of the product. [11:49] Kellee Ann also looks at what areas of opportunity it opens up for her in terms of making an impact on the customers. [11:58] Kellee Ann is Vice President of Commercial. There is a separate Risk Management Department. They work together regularly. Kellee Ann tells how risks are managed functionally and strategically, and that employees have toolkits to distill information for prudent decisions. [12:36] Quick Break!

Visit RIMS.org/Advocacy for more information and updates and to register. [13:28] We've got more plugs later. Let's return to our interview with Kellee Ann Richards-St. Clair! [13:48] When communicating risks and opportunities to executive leadership, instead of charts, Kellee Ann utilizes storytelling to create a more compelling description of what is happening in the market or external environment and how it's going to impact the organization. [14:08] Kellee Ann says there has to be a balance between the quantitative and the qualitative. [14:12] You have to communicate in a way that demonstrates the business case for taking a particular action, whether or not you want to enter a new market, market new commodities, or introduce new technology. [14:24] All of that is likely to introduce risks, either from a threat perspective or an opportunity perspective. You want to be able to have the conversation in a way that everybody understands, everyone is on the same wavelength, and understands why this direction has to be taken. [14:40] This is important in terms of culture building. You want to have a culture of risk management. You want to have a culture where everyone is aware that you're not making decisions by intuition, feeling, or personal bias, but that decisions are driven by data. [15:00] Context matters. Storytelling is what is going to make that context clearer. [15:05] Kellee Ann asks, if you decide by going with your gut, you might be lucky, but how do you defend it if your luck runs out? It's very important to be emotionless in decisions. The data has to tell the story. You want to marry the data with the context. [15:51] Global current events can be brought into the discussion if they are materially in context. In risk management, it's very important to determine the impact they are likely to have on the organization. It brings to the forefront the question of relevance. [16:09] News is important for information, from the point of view of awareness. You want to distill the news in the context of relevance to your organization. There will be some events where your competitors are taking a particular action successfully. [16:26] They may be successful because their business model is designed in a way that allows them to capture that opportunity faster. If you take a copy-and-paste approach, you may find that you're not going to be successful because your supply chain or context is different. [16:43] A snippet of it may be relevant, but you have to redesign it, looking at your internal resources or the eternal context. [16:53] You have to map it to internal resources to determine whether or not this is going to have a high impact on your organization, whether or not it's good to know, or whether or not it's to be monitored to determine when is the right time for you to implement it. [17:07] Kellee Ann says the complexity comes in distilling what it is, if it is relevant, and the timing of that relevance. [17:18] Kellee Ann is more inclined to work just in time rather than be tied to arbitrary deadlines that do not add value. This comes from her project management background. What are your business drivers? What are the regulatory deadlines? What is the customer expecting? [18:50] The art and science of risk management. [21:26] One Final Break! Some of you may have heard he recent RIMScast episode sponsored by Diligent, "Mastering ERM: Leveraging Internal and External Risk Factors," with Jason Venner, who's also a RIMS-CRMP-FED holder. [21:41] Jason is joining us here on RIMScast to discuss his upcoming appearance at the RIMS ERM Conference 2025, which will be held on November 17th and 18th. We will be seeing him present on Tuesday, November 18th. [21:58] His session is titled, "Benchmarking Beyond Boundaries: Elevating ERM Programs with External Risk Insights." Jason, welcome back to RIMScast! Tell us all about it! [22:08] Jason says, We're going to be joined by one of our partners, my colleague and friend, Maurice Crescenzi, an industry practice leader at Moody's, in Risk Analytics. [22:22] The audience is going to learn about the value of being able to benchmark your risk information and data against your peers, competitors, and suppliers to be able to provide your leadership and board with a single, clear view of holistic risk, internally and externally. [22:40] This session provides the external viewpoint. [22:51] Jason encourages audience participation and will be available for questions afterward, for as long as anyone needs. He is super excited to get to this conference! Several of his colleagues from Diligent are going to be there, along with Maurice and some of his colleagues. [23:05] If you don't catch Jason after the session, please stop by the Diligent booth. He'll talk for as long as you want. We'll see you there! [23:15] Thank you, Jason. I look forward to seeing you there. As we said, remember to look for the link in this episode's show notes to Jason's recent RIMScast appearance on mastering ERM. [23:28] Let's Conclude Our Interview with Kellee Ann Richards-St. Clair! [23:51] Kellee Ann describes business risks. You want to get away from siloed thinking. Risk management tends to create siloes of functional, financial, and operational risks. You have to look at it all as business risks.  [24:38] There's liability. You have to pay out claims, or there's an impairment to your reputation, either losing the customer trust to operate, or shareholders withdrawing their cash. It starts with reframing. Kellee Ann speaks of environmental risk and supply chain resilience. [25:39] If you are a coffee supplier, what is the risk if you lose access to coffee plantations? The cost of supply increases. The quantity of produce is no longer there due to climate change. [26:09] There are aspects of human rights. Are you procuring employees in a fair and just manner? Are the work conditions safe? It's a business risk if people leave because they are not safe. The conversation has to be reframed in terms of how you are identifying risk. [27:06] Environmental risks can be greater and more material than operational risks. [27:42] About ESG Governance. Planetary boundaries are not anecdotal or a special-interest topic. They have to be part of the risk conversation about your risk capacity. Kellee shares an example about shipping through port facilities. Map your risks, global to internal. [30:13] Kellee Ann explains further about climate risks, resources, and geopolitical sensitivities. [31:59] Looking at the agenda of the ERM Conference 2025, Kellee Ann is starting and closing our day on Tuesday, November 18th. She'll be supervising the ERM Networking Breakfast Tabletop Discussion. There will be discussions at each table, and you are encouraged to join in. [32:32] Kellee Ann will be leading off the topic on Emerging Risks. She'll be interested to find out from her peers who will be on the table for their views on Emerging Risks and the tools they use to identify and manage emerging risks in their organizations. [33:02] At the end of the day, at 3:30 p.m., Kellee Ann will be part of the ERM Conference Finale, SERMC Panel Discussion, along with other members of the RIMS SERMC Council, to recap some of the Conference highlights, observations, and new information. [33:24] Kellee Ann is excited to be onstage with the others, gain new insights, and share her perspective on what she learned at the Conference. Kellee is comfortable onstage. [33:44] Justin says it will be a new way for us to close out the Conference. I'm very much looking forward to it and to meeting you in person, as well. [34:05] The RIMS ERM Conference has been on Kellee Ann's wish list for a while, and she's made it happen this year. [34:22] I look forward to seeing you on November 17th and 18th at the RIMS ERM Conference 2025, in Seattle, Washington. [34:37] Special thanks again to Kellee Ann Richards-St. Clare for joining us here on RIMScast. She will be omnipresent at the RIMS ERM Conference 2025, November 17th and 18th, and especially on the 18th. She'll be helping to kick off that Breakfast Networking Session. [34:54] And then at 1:30, she was recently added to the new session, "Exploiting Uncertainty: Making the Business Case for Strategic Risk Treatments." That was added after this interview was recorded.

  More and more Americans are living with chronic conditions. A study noted that 76 percent of U.S. adults live with at least one chronic condition, while more than half live with multiple.  When quality care is hard to access, these conditions often go unmanaged—leading to avoidable complications, higher costs, and a lower quality of life. Access to care shouldn't depend on geography. Yet for many employees in rural or underserved areas, it still does. In a podcast series titled The Business Case for Advanced Primary Care, Dr. Nirav Vakharia from Marathon Health sits down with BenefitsPRO contributor Michael Krieger to discuss: The rising prevalence of chronic conditions and the effect on healthcare cost and utilization How organizations are leveraging advanced primary care to close access gaps, manage chronic disease more effectively, and improve long-term outcomes The role of technology—like virtual primary care, remote monitoring, asynchronous touchpoints—in expanding access and enabling stronger patient-provider relationships What benefits leaders and advisors can do to help reduce costs while still delivering quality care to their people

Circular business models can drive new revenue streams, build brand strength, customer loyalty, and market traction, while also unlocking value through resource efficiency, cost savings, and reduced risk to supply chain volatility.

They share how lifelong learning not only builds credibility and compliance strength but also demonstrates leadership, engagement, and care for your team and company. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why Targeted Training Matters – Traditional education can only go so far. Trade professionals grow fastest through focused, real-world learning like Global Training Center's import/export certifications and broker CEU programs. Set an Education Standard – Create a skills and behavior matrix for your team. Identify not just technical skills, but also soft skills like curiosity, decision-making, and the ability to say “pause” or “no” when compliance demands it. Build the Business Case for Training – The cost of training is far less than the cost of turnover. Invest in your existing talent and highlight how learning reduces risk and strengthens company culture. Think Globally – Don't limit yourself to U.S. training programs. Look into courses offered in other countries (Ireland, Australia, etc.) for new perspectives on familiar trade topics. Julie's FIO (Figure It Out)

We love to hear from our listeners. Send us a message. On this week's episode of the Business of Biotech, Rob Abbott, CEO of ISPOR, explains how startup and early-stage clinical drug development companies benefit from conducting health economics and outcomes research (HEOR), and not just with patients and commercial payers. HEOR, viewed as a strategic lever as opposed to a compliance exercise, can help answer investor questions about market differentiation, pricing pathways, and real world product validation. Abbott talks about the value of cost-of-illness studies, burden-of-disease analyses, and payer landscape assessments, and how AI, real world evidence, and patient-centered research can improve drug and trial design and accelerate market access.       Access this and hundreds of episodes of the Business of Biotech videocast under the Business of Biotech tab at lifescienceleader.com.

At Climate Week NYC, we sit down on the sidelines with Daniela Raik, the newly appointed Interim CEO at Conservation International. Conservation International is a nonprofit that partners with governments, companies, civil society, Indigenous peoples and local communities to help people and nature thrive together. In our conversation, Daniela explains why nature was a big focus at Climate Week NYC in 2025, which coincided with the ratification of a historic UN treaty to safeguard marine biodiversity on the high seas.  Daniela said Climate Week NYC brought to the fore the importance of financing conservation and mainstreaming the business value of nature.  “I'm really sensing that this week: New ideas about how do we finance conservation, how do we mainstream the value that nature brings into business," Daniela tells us. “I'm hearing that not only from business leaders, but from government leaders as well." Daniela says this focus on nature will carry through to the UN's COP30 Climate Change Conference in Belém, Brazil, this November. "This is the Amazonian COP. Belém is a city in the heart of the Amazon, and so Brazil is really prioritizing the role that nature, and forests in particular, can and must play as a climate solution," she says.
