In this episode, we look at a report I wrote in partnership with Vodafone UK to examine how 5G Standalone (5G SA) could transform UK over the next 5-7 years.To talk more about the findings, I spoke with Nicki Lyons, Vodafone UK's Chief Corporate Affairs & Sustainability Officer.Some of the predictions in the report include:We'll see the end of Video Assisted Referee (VAR) and poor off-side decision-making thanks to smart ball tech, pitch sensors and player wearables enabled by 5G Standalone (5G SA) – meaning more time is devoted to the beautiful game and less time on disputes.Connected clothing will mean trainers will ‘talk' to each other and collate style and sustainability-inspired looks from other feet on the street, powering your very own AI-powered style guide – enabling fashionistas to discover styles and express themselves in new ways.Working with Vodafone, in a new report, leading futurist Andrew Grill predicts how 5G SA could transform the things the UK loves most in the next five-to-seven years – from retail and sports to gaming and entertainment.The report supports the growing need for 5G SA infrastructure in the UK, as the proposed Vodafone and Three merger paves the way for UK 5G SA leadership with a pledge to invest £11 billion and reach over 99% of the UK population with 5G SA by 2034.More on Nicki LyonsNicki became Director of Corporate Affairs and Sustainability in October 2021.

In recent episodes of the ESG Insider podcast, we've been on the ground in Dubai covering COP28, the UN's 2023 climate change conference. As the conference wrapped up Dec. 13 with an agreement on the first global stocktake, we're covering some of the big themes from the gathering — including how the transport sector is approaching decarbonization challenges.   Passenger vehicles, a key part of the transport sector, contribute a substantial 16% to global greenhouse gas emissions. To learn more about how this sector is approaching sustainability, we sat down on the sidelines of COP28 with Kristen Siemen, the Chief Sustainability Officer of one of the world's largest automakers, General Motors.  Kristen talks about the importance of partnerships; the role of innovation in addressing the climate crisis; and the importance of concrete solutions to drive progress.   “We're past the point where we're all making these big bold goals and announcements,” she says. “Now it's about: what are the building blocks and the steps that we can take toward making progress?”    Read the research from S&P Global Mobility here: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/insights/featured/special-editorial/how-automaker-decarbonization-efforts-can-reach-paris-agreement-targets   Listen to our interview with UPS Executive Vice President and Chief Corporate Affairs and Sustainability Officer Laura Lane here: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/podcasts/women-in-leadership-why-ups-head-of-sustainability-says-you-don-t-need-a-title-to-lead   This piece was published by S&P Global Sustainable1, a part of S&P Global.        Copyright ©2023 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.

Liliana joined Wendy's in June 2014 and has served as Chief Corporate Affairs & Sustainability Officer since February 2021 to reflect her range of responsibilities across Communications, Quality Assurance, Customer Care, Public Affairs and Corporate Responsibility. She previously served as our Chief Communications Officer from June 2014 to February 2021. Liliana sets the vision and strategy for all communications with franchisees and employees, public relations, government relations and corporate responsibility. Her work with the Quality Assurance function involves developing quality and safety procedures throughout our supply chain and restaurants to provide a safe and quality dining experience for all Wendy's customers. Liliana prides herself on building diverse teams and empowering them to find solutions – a leadership style that has produced notable results. Her team recently restructured Wendy's corporate responsibility efforts under one united banner, Good Done Right, and created our Supplier Code of Conduct. Under her direction, Wendy's also launched The Square Deal, Wendy's blog to provide a point of view on issues that are important to our Company and our customers. Prior to Wendy's, Liliana served as Vice President of Corporate Communications and Public Affairs at Dean Foods in Dallas, TX. Her previous experience includes tenure as Public Affairs Manager with Mars, Incorporated in New Jersey, and as a public relations consultant for eight years in New York City. Liliana Joins Sustainable Nation to Discuss: Defining responsible sourcing and identifying criteria for responsibly sourcing food What consumers are looking for in the industry in regards to sustainability The process of starting GHG inventories, CDP reporting, and setting science-based targets Wendy's “Good done right” goals for food, people and footprint  Tying sustainability performance to incentives Advice and recommendations for sustainability professionals Liliana's Final Five Questions Responses: What is one piece of advice you would give other sustainability professionals that might help them in their careers? The advice that I would give is just to be a sponge for learning and for relationships and networking with others in the field. I would not have considered myself a sustainability professional even 10 years ago. There is so much to learn. There is so much to absorb. I don't think anyone can be an expert in all of it. I think really broadening your aperture so that you have the benefit of expertise from others that are in different aspects of your field is something that I really value. Probably the most important resource that I see in the field is people. Hopefully you can provide some value to them in terms of the expertise and the knowledge that you have, but also continuing to build those relationships and reach out and network to increase your effectiveness. What are you most excited about right now in the world of sustainability? The biggest is just the awareness and the general knowledge and interest in this area. That takes a lot of different forms and different parts of the industry, different stakeholders are coming at it with different points of view. But I think that there's never been a better time to really be demonstrating the value and the importance of sustainability work within the business community. I feel like the conversation I'm not having anymore is around “why should we care about this?” Does this actually add to our business value? Is there a strong rationale for being focused on ESG or sustainability? Now the conversation is much more around, “where should we be putting our precious resources?” Where can our efforts be most successful and most effective?  What is one book you would recommend sustainability professionals read? I'll go to the classics. There's certainly lots of more contemporary examples, but I think Rachel Carson's Silent Spring. I was in college when I read it. That really started to open my eyes around not just the importance of a focus on the environment and on sustainability, but a factual, well researched, analysis of what was happening and what we as a society could do to make a more positive impact. I know that's a classic, but I think it's still relevant today. What are some of your favorite resources or tools that really help you in your work? To repeat myself, people. I really do collect and curate a great network of people that come from all different backgrounds and perspectives and areas of expertise. The more that I can connect and engage with people that do things that are very different than what I do professionally, I just grow and learn from that. And then a plug for you Josh and your colleagues for podcasts like this one. I usually go for a run every day and I've got a collection of podcasts and other things that, that that's the soundtrack to my daily runs because I feel like there's always something new coming out to help us just learn and get better. Where can our listeners go to learn more about you and the sustainability work being done at Wendy's? We would love for you to hop over to wendys.com and click on the what we value segment of our website. You can find our corporate responsibility reports for 2022 and the years in the past, and then certainly a wealth of information about the company and our commitments overall.

In April, Wendy's released its 2020 Corporate Responsibility Report detailing the progress made across its three key focus areas of Food, People and Footprint.

Today we'll speak with Liliana M. Esposito, Wendy's Chief Corporate Affairs and Sustainability Officer, about the company's commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and its strategy to meet the highest standards of sustainable, safe and healthy food.

With the growing interest among consumers, investors, and the community in the companies they support doing the right thing, your corporations' success depends, more so than perhaps any time in history, on your ability to strategically approach the complex challenges of when to take stand, what stand to take, and how to authentically community your corporate stance to the world.

  Throughout Women's History Month, we're bringing you a special series of the ESG Insider podcast focused on women in leadership. We're speaking to women CEOs and executives from across industries and around the globe.   In this episode, we interview Laura Lane, Executive Vice President and Chief Corporate Affairs and Sustainability Officer at UPS, a multinational shipping & receiving and supply chain management company.  Laura explains how her "life-changing" experience as a Foreign Affairs officer during the civil war in Rwanda impacted her outlook on life and leadership.   "That taught me the importance of people, the importance of principles, and gave me that internal courage to challenge the status quo, advocate for new paths — and in many ways, set me on the path to eventually joining the private sector and being a part of the change that we wanted to see in how companies show up in the world," Laura says.  Laura explains how her leadership style has evolved over the course of her career. "One of the constants has always been something that was career advice that I was given early on in my Foreign Service days, which was: Don't wait for someone to give you a title to act. Lead from where you are," she says.  Diversity in leadership has received increasing attention in recent years from stakeholders in the sustainability world. Investors have pushed for diversity on company boards and management teams, and in some parts of the world, that push has extended to laws and regulations. But the number of women in top roles remains low.

Developing a corporate purpose is often compared to a journey. Like journeys, purpose requires precise planning, situational awareness, team coordination, and a steadfast commitment to reaching the destination.

Valinda Rutledge, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer at UpStream, is passionate about helping patients, and empowering them to take charge of their health.    She has a clinical background, and told us UpStream's patient-focus is what drew her to the company. Valinda said a first-step of care in UpStream's system is to meet face-to-face with patients to discuss their mediations.    UpStream works with primary care physicians providing value-based care to those who are older and who have chronic conditions, and embeds pharmacists into the PCP's practice.    Valinda said their patients may have 10-12 medications due to comorbidities. Helping the patients understand the medications they're prescribed is invaluable. It helps build a relationship with the patient, gives the patient the opportunity to talk about side effects they may be having, share troubles paying for the medication, and UpStream can even help synch the RX schedule so the patient isn't going to the pharmacy constantly.    This interview was fascinating, and we were inspired by Valinda's unrelenting dedication to partnering with patients.    Connect with Valinda: https://www.linkedin.com/in/valinda-rutledge-69167614/   Learn more about UpStream: https://www.upstream.care     Topical timecodes:   1:37 - The UpStream Difference 3:22 - Meeting face-to-face to talk about medications 5:39 - Learnings from patients  10:29 - Patient success stories  11:56 - Looking forward to potential future downstream health impacts 15:24 - Pharmacists at scale 17:43 - Passion for her work   __________________________ Thanks to the following organizations for supporting the Making Healthcare Work for You mission.   Informed Consulting works with insurance carriers, digital health companies, insurtech organizations, and venture capital firms to drive distribution solutions in the employee benefits ecosystem.

A major part of India's energy transition would come from the power sector but for the broader goal of decarbonization, energy-intensive industries need to plan a green future. The steel industry which forms the backbone of the country's infrastructure growth is the foremost industry to plan a transition. The sector which relies on metal mining, drives bulk electricity demand and employment generation across its supply chain. This makes it imperative for it to lead to industrial decarbonization in the country. To understand the shift undergoing the steel sector, we spoke with Manish Mishra. A seasoned steel sector executive, Mishra has held various roles at a variety of locations in Tata Steel, one of India's leading steel producers. Mishra is currently Chief Corporate Affairs with the company in New Delhi.

Liliana Esposito is the Chief Corporate Affairs & Sustainability Officer at The Wendy's Company where she guides public affairs and communications to build and protect the company's reputation. Liliana has spent nearly 15 years leading communications for consumer packaged goods, beverage and restaurant brands, with stints at Burson-Marsteller, Mars, and Dean Foods.  Wendy's is one of the most notoriously funny brands on social media and also one of the boldest. It is an example of a brand that executes many firsts, with cutting edge campaigns and stunts that have never been done before. In this conversation, we discussed Liliana's experience during the pandemic, her approach to DE&I, and how Wendy's is able to keep its winning edge in the social media ecosystem. Feel free to listen to the entire conversation on Lippe Taylor's Frictionless Marketing Podcast below.  Here are some key takeaways from this conversation with Liliana. Be inspired, but be yourself. When it comes to Wendy's, the brand's constant innovations and fresh thinking--coupled with its funny and often sassy humor--makes it an extremely unique voice. Liliana is often asked by other brand executives how their brand can be more like Wendy's, to which she often replies, “Don't.” Instead of attempting to replicate a brand's presence, Liliana recommends that brands find their own voice by determining what they can bring to the community. Communal listening is a key element of this. Don't kill creativity with ROI. One of Wendy's traditions is Roast Day, in which they publicly roast a slew of other brands, resulting in hilarious Twitter banter. This is a very unique stunt that Wendy's has become known for, but Liliana speaks to how it's not designed just to sell more chicken nuggets. The point is, things like this help the brand build a following and remain top-of-mind, which naturally leads to better business results. Transparency is key during uncertain times, as is community. Throughout the course of the pandemic, companies universally had to take a deeper dive into their internal communications approach and Wendy's was no different. Liliana claimed that among employees and key stakeholders there was a craving for both up-to-date information and a connection with the Company. As a result, she streamlined communication protocols in favor of real-time conversations which enabled the company to thrive during these uncertain times. Internal comms approaches are being completely rebooted, and for good reason. It's time to throw out the rule books and speak with your people and stakeholders in real time.

1989 Farmer School management alumni Laurie Schalow talks with Farmer School dean Jenny Darroch about navigating a food-borne illness crisis, how Chipotle's existing digital plan has helped it through the pandemic, and the one thing she regrets not doing while at Miami.

Chipotle revolutionized fast-casual dining with its fresh ingredients, open kitchens and assembly lines, and inventive menu. But Chipotle's real innovation happens before the food gets into the hands of hungry customers. From the farms where ingredients are grown and raised to the impact of its supply chain on the environment, Chipotle is committed to sourcing and serving “food with integrity.” Its leadership in these areas and others has set a new bar for QSR and fast food, and the food system as a whole. This is all embodied in Chipotle's purpose to cultivate a better world. This purpose is made real through the company's support of ventures that make responsibly sourced and sustainable food more accessible, an executive compensation structure tied to ESG goals, and support for family farms. One meal might not change the world, but the way Chipotle makes it might. To share Chipotle's purpose journey—including the ups and downs—we welcomed Laurie Schalow, Chief Corporate Affairs and Food Safety Officer, to Purpose 360. Listen for Laurie's insights on: How Chipotle identified and committed to addressing a “disruptive” issue that other organizations weren't addressing. Why you should continuously monitor and address the needs of your stakeholders - from your suppliers and partners to your employees and customers. Why working on projects that haven't been successful is a powerful way to display your leadership capability and make a mark. Why having a small sustainability team is not a deterrent to driving impact if you embed purpose responsibility cross-functionally.
