In this episode, we chat with Chris Griffith, CEO of Base Metals at Vedanta Resources, a global powerhouse of minerals, power, and energy companies within the group where these businesses have multiple subsidiaries within a portfolio of operations and projects comprising of operations in Zinc, Lead, Silver, Copper, Iron Ore, Steel, Nickel, and Aluminium. Chris has a wealth of experience in the mining industry and previously served as the CEO of Gold Fields and also two major mining business, Anglo American Platinum and Kumba Iron Ore. Now with Vedanta, he tells us more about the company and the demerger of its business into 6 separately listed companies. He also discusses the critical minerals space in general and the geo-politics impacting on the critical minerals industry. KEY TAKEAWAYS Vedanta Resources is planning to demerge into six separately listed companies, each focusing on specific commodities, which is expected to unlock substantial value. The base metals division of Vedanta, has significant growth plans, aiming to increase zinc and copper production to over a million tons each by 2030. Geopolitics is impacting the critical minerals industry, with countries like the US, Canada, and China focusing on securing critical mineral assets and investing in African mining projects. Vedanta's mines and processing plants are strategically located in favourable mining jurisdictions like South Africa, Namibia, Zambia, India, and the Middle East to capitalise on growth opportunities. Vedanta has made significant progress in ESG initiatives, ranking among the top three globally in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, showcasing their commitment to sustainability and responsible mining practices. BEST MOMENTS "I think the potential for Africa growth with the demand for critical minerals, and as we see the growth of the world needing growth in mining, you'll continue to see expansion of mining in Africa." "We've already seen 100% growth in the share price in this past year. I think as the demerger happens, which I think is one of the key things to watch for, I think that's all lined up to happen."  "The real jewel in the crown is the fact that KCM, the Konkola copper mines in Zambia, which has been sort of under government control for the past five years, we announced at the end of last year that we had reached agreement with government and now just needed to go through the regulatory approval process."

Der österreichische Unternehmer und ESG-Veteran Alois Flatz – einer der Väter des Dow Jones Sustainability Index – startet gemeinsam mit dem Ex-CFO Christopher Hoffmann (unter anderem Va-q-tec und Scope) einen neuen Private-Equity-Fonds, der sich investitionsstrategisch zwischen dem Venture Capital- und dem Buy-out-Bereich ansiedelt. Im Fokus stehen „Scale-ups“ aus Zentraleuropa, die sich im Bereich „Green Tech“ engagieren. Der Fonds soll 150 Millionen Euro schwer werden, das erste Closing wurde bei 60 Millionen Euro bereits erreicht. Bei den Geldgebern des Fonds handelt es sich Flatz zufolge ausschließlich um Unternehmer. „Bei Unternehmen in dieser Wachstumsphase sehen wir eine große Finanzierungslücke“, erklärt Flatz im Gespräch mit FINANCE-TV. Besonders große Investitionschancen sieht er „in der Energietransformation, in der Mobilität und in der Produktion“. Wichtig ist dem Multi-Unternehmer bei einer Due Diligence der Nachweis, „dass die Firma auch tatsächlich stark skalieren kann“. Ob das Hin und Her in der staatlichen Förderung grüner Technologien in Deutschland dem Investitionsklima geschadet hat, wie Flatz und sein Team die Herausforderung angehen, dass sie Management-Teams vom VC- ins PE-Stadium begleiten müssen, und wann er glaubt, in seinem Segment den ersten Impact-Fonds etablierter Private-Equity-Häuser zu begegnen – das Gespräch mit Alois Flatz bei FINANCE-TV.

 We are thrilled to be joined today by Valentin's Lira. Valentina is an Industrial Engineer from the University of Chile, with a postgraduate degree in Environmental Economics from the University of California Berkeley. She worked as a Development Engineer at CMPC Holding and as Director of the Development and Conservation Program of Fundación Chile, achieving the first sale of carbon credits from forestry projects in Chile. Since 2011, Valentina Lira the Sustainability Division at Viña Concha y Toro, in charge of the development and implementation of the Corporate Sustainability Strategy.

This year had an enormous emphasis on business and how companies can become more environmentally conscious. Environmental, social and corporate governance, also known as ESG is becoming a commercial necessity in addition to providing significant benefits to companies. In light of the intensifying global race to attain net-zero emissions, companies seeking to enter into new alliances and partnerships need to be able to articulate their ESG strategy and, more importantly, explain how they intend to carry it out. This makes getting support from a variety of stakeholders and creating a coherent, fair, and transparent approach to ESG at COP28 even more crucial.  We are very excited to hear from Valentina about her experiences at the COP conference, as well as the opportunities and risks presented to businesses in the broader world of ESG

In this episode of Smart Energy Voices, host John Failla shares a special keynote presentation from the inaugural Net Zero Forum featuring Andy Smith, Senior Manager of Global Energy Management and Sustainability at Cisco Systems. In his presentation, Andy provides a deep dive into the process Cisco recently went through to evaluate, establish and certify its net-zero goal through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... Powering an inclusive future for all [02:22] Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) [04:50] Third-party verification of goals [07:05] Cisco's Scope 3 challenges [10:58] Real estate transformation [13:56] Carbon offset strategy [16:14] Creating new goals Cisco has a long history of setting ambitious climate and sustainability goals. Over the last couple of years, the organization realized it needed to catch up with some market trends. While the company had an aggressive, absolute greenhouse gas reduction goal and an 85% renewable electricity target, the other leaders in sustainability were setting RE100 and net-zero goals. With prior goals wrapping up, Cisco went through a year-long process to engage in the next phase of goal setting. Ultimately, the organization set a net-zero goal that covers all of its Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions to be achieved by 2040. Cisco also has aggressive near-term targets including a 90% reduction of Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2025 and a 30% reduction focused on its largest categories of Scope 3 emissions by 2030. Cisco chose to align with the SBTi Net-Zero Standard to have third-party verification of its aggressive goals. Before the company began the process in January 2021, internal stakeholders, employees, and customers were pushing for an updated goal that would include net zero. At the time, Cisco wasn't ready to set that net-zero standard. While it was reporting on a couple of categories of Scope 3, the company needed to take a step back to further understand its emissions.  Scope 3 challenges At 99% of its portfolio, Scope 3 is by far Cisco's largest source of emissions. The use of sold goods and products is about 75% of those emissions and the company's greatest challenge. Cisco sells many products and gear that plug into its customers' electric grids, releasing a lot of emissions in the end. The following 20% of Scope 3 emissions is from the company's supply chain contracts and indirect procurement. The company will focus on those two categories over the next fifteen years. Although Scope 1 and 2 are only 1% of Cisco's emissions, the company has engaged in a robust strategy to achieve its Scope 1 and 2 goals. Addressing these emissions also helps Cisco's customers and suppliers meet their goals. If they can replicate some of the things Cisco is doing, that will also help Cisco achieve its Scope 3 goal. Renewable electricity is a large part of Cisco's strategy. Clean, zero-emission power will move the company about 75% of the way towards its reduction goal for Scope 1 and 2. Cisco is focusing its efforts on renewable energy. The company has generated a few megawatts of on-site solar and hopes to triple that over the next three years.  Cisco's hybrid transformation Cisco is going through a real estate transformation. This hybrid transformation began before COVID but was accelerated after. Currently, the company has 80 million square feet of building space, but the occupancy levels of those spaces are low. Employees want to work wherever and whenever they want. Engineers love to work at home and aren't coming into the office as much as they had. In response, Cisco is modifying workspaces into collaboration centers where teams can work together. As Cisco transforms the workplace, it will see energy savings by reducing its square footage.  Some energy savings of a hybrid workplace will increase home energy usage. While that's a challenge the whole industry will need to address, companies can keep in mind that commute emissions are also being reduced. Cisco believes the hybrid transformation is a positive for the world from a climate perspective.  Resources & People Mentioned Cisco's net zero commitment Connect with Andy Smith On LinkedIn Andy has over 15 years of experience in the field of sustainability and currently leads Cisco's Global Energy Management and Sustainability team. He started working at Cisco in 2009 and has helped develop Cisco's sustainability program into what it is today by leading a number of initiatives, including developing and achieving multiple sustainability goals, managing global energy efficiency programs, deploying a global energy and sustainability information system, and creating Cisco's annual greenhouse gas inventories and Corporate Social Responsibility reports. Through these efforts, Cisco has been recognized consistently over the years as a leader in sustainability by numerous organizations, including Barron's, EPA, Association of Energy Engineers, Newsweek, CDP, Dow Jones Sustainability Index, and Sustainability Roundtable. Prior to joining Cisco, Andy worked as a consultant at Rocky Mountain Institute and DOMANI Sustainability Consulting in Colorado and served as Energy Manager for Washtenaw County Government in Michigan. Andy has a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis, a B.A. from Oberlin College, and an MBA from the University of Colorado. He is also a Certified Energy Manager and Certified Carbon Reduction Manager from the Association of Energy Engineers. Andy and his family live in Boulder, Colorado and enjoy just about all outdoor activities, including rock climbing, hiking, biking, and skiing. They are also musicians and love to travel.

Businesses once had to choose between profitability and sustainability. Today the two go hand in hand. From securing investment to attracting employees and customers, sustainability now has a major impact on the success of a business and on its future. Studies show that while 90% of executives think sustainability is important only 60% of companies have a sustainability strategy. In this episode, we feature an interview from the AIBF All Ireland Business Summit with Lindsey Rowe, Head of Purpose Programmes & Sustainability at SAP, about the impact a strong sustainability policy can have on a business. Listed at No.1 on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for more than 15 years, SAP believes that together we can reimagine a world where profit is generated by sustainable practices. A world where we put ‘Eco' in Economics. SAP helps to create Supply Chain Economics, Consumer Economics, and Human Economics to enable a future with zero emissions, zero waste, and zero inequality. SAP is the headline sponsor of the 6th Annual All-Ireland Business Summit.

Glenn van der Burg ging tijdens Impact in gesprek met Anniek Mauser van Unilever. Waarschijnlijk douche jij ook ‘s ochtends met Axe, Dove of Andrélon en voordat je naar je werk gaat, of achter je laptop gaat zitten, smeer je je brood met Becel of Calvé. Om een uurtje of vier is het weer tijd voor een Cup-a-Soup. Wat deze producten met elkaar gemeen hebben? Ze zijn stuk voor stuk eigendom van de grootste Nederlandse producent van voedingsmiddelen en verzorgingsartikelen: Unilever. Het bedrijf dat sinds de lancering van het Sustainable Living Plan duurzaamheid als kern van de groeistrategie heeft. Volgens externe ranglijsten, zoals de Dow Jones Sustainability Index en Behind the Brands van Oxfam, is Unilever wereldwijd koploper op het gebied van milieu-impact verkleinen. Maar wat blijkt: twee derde van de milieu-impact wordt veroorzaakt door het gebruik van Unilever-producten door de consument. Mensen moeten worden geholpen om slimmere, betere en duurzamere keuzes te maken. De eigen zaken lijken op orde, maar hoe bereikt Unilever ook een gedragsverandering van de consument? Om dat te weten te komen sprak Glenn van der Burg in deze aflevering van Impact met Anniek Mauser, directeur duurzaamheid bij Unilever Benelux en Thomas de Groote, Founder van River Cleanup. Het programma wordt gemaakt in samenwerking met het impactonderzoekscentrum Impact Centre Erasmus; GroenLeven, marktleider op het gebied van zonne-energie, en duurzaam-ondernemen.nl, hét online kenniscentrum voor duurzaam of maatschappelijk verantwoord ondernemen. Impact is elke tweede en vierde vrijdag van de maand tussen 14:00 en 15:00 uur te beluisteren op New Business Radio. Na de uitzending is het programma terug te luisteren als podcast via alle bekende podcast platforms en impact.radio.

¿Por qué un banco invierte en sostenibilidad? En el modelo "normal" de negocios, los bancos buscan generar utilidades. Sin embargo, Bancolombia decidió hace 15 años romper este paradigma, incluyendo en su modelo una forma más integral de hacer negocios, generando rentabilidad que perdure en el tiempo a través de la creación de valor. Recientemente reconocido como el quinto banco más sostenible del mundo y el primero del continente americano, según el Dow Jones Sustainability Index. Esta semana, en nuestro último capítulo del 2020 de Próxima Frontera, hablamos con Franco Piza, director corporativo de sostenibilidad de Bancolombia.

Willkommen zu Unternehmerwissen in 15 Minuten. Das ist Folge 284 mit dem Deutschland-Chef von KLM Stefan Gumuseli. Mein Name ist Rayk Hahne, Profisportler und Unternehmensberater. Jede Woche bekommst Du eine sofort anwendbare Trainingseinheit, damit Du als Unternehmer noch besser wirst. Danke, dass Du Die Zeit mit mir verbringst. Lass uns mit dem Training beginnen.  Wenn Dir die Folge gefällt teile Sie mit Deinen Freunden unter dem Link raykhahne.de/284. In der heutigen Folge geht es um Nachhaltigkeit kann jeder. Welche 3 wichtigen Punkte kannst Du Dir aus dem heutigen Training mitnehmen? Wie Du internationale Teams führst. Wieso Nachhaltigkeit jeder kann. Warum eine Airline Dir rät mit dem Zug zu fahren. Lass mich wissen wie Du die Folge fandest, teile sie gern mit Deinen Freunden, der Link ist raykhahne.de/284 oder verlinke mich @raykhahne. Verrate mir wie Du über das Thema denkst und wenn Du mehr darüber erfahren möchtest, sag mir Bescheid, denn ich bin hier, um Dich maximal zu unterstützen. Bevor wir gleich mit der Folge starten, habe ich noch eine Empfehlung für Dich. Der Partner dieser Folge ist KLM. Als Airline mit dem Thema Nachhaltigkeit rauszugehen  ist sicher keine einfache Wahl. Doch wer sich einem Thema verschreibt schon lange bevor es die Medien aufgreifen hat es offensichtlich wirklich verstanden. Nutze Video Calls und nicht das Flugzeug, fahre mit dem Zug und nicht mit dem Flieger, und wenn Du schon fliegen musst, dann entscheide Dich für ein Unternehmen das sich wirklich Gedanken macht. Erfahre mehr auf klm.com. Insbesondere als Unternehmer musst Du Dir Deiner Verantwortung bewusst sein. Rayk: Willkommen Stefan Gumuseli. Bist Du ready für die heutige Trainingseinheit? Gast: Absolut, ich bin fertig Rayk: Lass uns gleich starten! - Was sind die drei wichtigsten Dinge die unsere Zuhörer über Dich wissen sollten? Gast: - 1. Ich bin verheiratet, habe eine 9-jährige Tochter und wir leben seit 3 Jahren in Deutschland - 2. Ich bin seit 18 Jahren bei KLM - 3. Deutschland ist meine siebte Location nach Nigeria, Kasachstan, Holland, Georgien usw Rayk: Was ist Deine spezielle Expertise? Wie betreibt ihr das Thema Nachhaltigkeit? Gast: Das Thema Nachhaltigkeit ist seit vielen Jahren ein Fokusthema bei KLM, in das wir viel GEld investieren, also nichts Neues für uns. Ich gebe hier gerne ein paar Beispiele. Vorab muss ich noch sagen, dass wir mit der Flugindustrie etwas 2-3% des von Menschen gemachten CO2 produzieren. Wir machen bereits sehr viel, sind aber noch nicht da wo wir hin wollen.  KLM reduziert das Gewicht an Bord. So haben wir seit Jahren ein papierloses Cockpit. Die Crews arbeiten alle mit iPads, wodurch wir hunderte von Kilos Papier entfernen konnten. Die neuen Sitze sind erheblich leichter als die Alten. Die Cateringprodukte und die Cargopaletten sind viel leichter geworden. Das Gewicht ist extrem wichtig, da man durch die Gewichtsreduzierung viel weniger Kerosin benötigt und somit viel weniger CO2 produziert.  Beim Recycling und Upcycling sind wir sehr weit. So sind die alten Uniformen der Crews zu Teppichen in den Flugzeugen verarbeitet worden.  Seit vielen Jahren haben wir ein CO2-Kompensationsprogramm. Wir haben seit 2012, also lange vor dem Hype, die Programme eingeführt.  Beim einzigen Corporate Biofuel Programm in Europa, dessen Anlage 2022 fertig gestellt wird, hat KLM sich für 10 Jahre verpflichtet 70% der Produktion abzunehmen.  Wir haben eine Kooperation mit der Delft Universität planen wir ein neues Flugzeug das 25% mehr Effizienz im Vergleich zu den modernsten heutigen Flugzeugen hat. Rayk: Was war beruflich Deine Weltmeisterschaft? Was war Deine größte Herausforderung und wie hast Du diese überwunden? Gast: Es ist in der Tat nicht leicht, ein solch riesiges Unternehmen zu bewegen. Daher ist es wichtig, dass man zeitnah mit solchen Themen anfängt. Wir sind vor 2 Wochen vom Dow Jones Sustainability Index wieder als Industrie Leader Aviation bewertet worden. Wir sind seit 15 Jahren in diesem Index in den Top 3 Positionen, davon 10 oder 11 Jahre Nummer Eins. Der „Tanker“ kann sich also bewegen, aber das braucht seine Zeit.  Meine persönliche Weltmeisterschaft war 2008, als ich nach Largos für Air France KLM ging. Ich ging in diese Ecke der Welt mit einem bestimmten Mindset und wollte die Entscheidungen über alles treffen und den Leuten sagen, was sie zu tun haben. Nach den ersten 6 Monaten hatte ich keine Energie mehr und war total platt. Dann habe ich meine Arbeitsweise verändert und den Leuten nur noch gesagt, wo wir hin wollen und denen viel mehr Freiheit gelassen. Ich habe dann nicht als Manager gearbeitet sondern eher als Coach oder Leader. Danach hat sich alles geändert. Ich hatte wieder Energie und der Erfolg kam auch. Außerdem hat es viel mehr Spaß gemacht dort zu arbeiten.  Rayk: Kannst Du der Unternehmerwissen-Community kurz die 3 Schritte darstellen, mit denen sie das Thema Nachhaltigkeit umsetzen können? Gast: Für den hundertsten Geburtstag von KLM haben wir eine neue Initiative geschaffen, die Flight Responsibly. Schaue dort rein, das ist der erste Punkt.  Frage dich immer, ob du wirklich reisen musst. Wenn du unbedingt reisen musst, dann nutze die Bahn wenn es geht.  Wenn du unbedingt fliegen musst, dann schaue bei der Airline, was sie in der Nachhaltigkeit bereits gemacht hat und nutze eine nachhaltige Airline.  Für Firmen ist es wichtig am Corporate Biofuel Programm teilzunehmen. Wir kaufen hier Biofuel und generieren rund 85% weniger CO2 Für kleine und mittlere Unternehmen haben wir ein Programm, Bluebiz, hier bekommen die Unternehmen Blucredits die für CO2-Kompensation genutzt werden können  Rayk: Grandios. Lass uns das Interview mit Deinem Spezial-Tipp für die Unternehmerwissen-Community beenden, dem besten Weg mit Dir in Kontakt zu treten und dann verabschieden wir uns. Gast: Gehe ins Flight Responsibly Programm rein, hier kannst du sehen was man alles machen kann und auch was die anderen machen können. Wenn du Fragen hast kontaktiere mich gern bei LinkedIn, ich freue mich auf eure Fragen.  Rayk: Vielen Dank das Du Deine Erfahrungen und Dein Wissen mit uns geteilt hast.

Green Sports Alliance Summit will be June 19-20 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia Dune Ives Dune Ives is the executive director of award-winning Lonely Whale, where she designs and leads initiatives that address environmental degradation and species decline. Through her leadership, Lonely Whale has received global recognition as one of Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas, Huffington Post’s Top Ten Movers and Shakers in Environmental Sustainability, the P4G 2018 Circular Economy Award sponsored by the Danish Government; and more. Prior to Lonely Whale, Dune designed and oversaw Paul G. Allen’s Vulcan Philanthropy, co-founded the Green Sports Alliance, and was among the first individuals trained by the Honorable Al Gore to deliver his presentation on global warming. One of the exciting initiatives at Lonely Whale is Next Wave Plastics. This is an initiative to get companies to use ocean bound plastics within their products. Can you tell us about this and what you're learning, or any successes that you're seeing in this program? Next Wave Plastics is an initiative that was co-created by Dell Technologies and Lonely Whale. It came out of a request that Adrian Grenier made as he was serving as Dell's first social good advocate. He asked if Dell could help him address, and help all of us, really address the growing plastic pollution crisis. What Dell discovered that they could do is source plastic that was once bound for the ocean, meaning it's within 50 kilometers of any waterways, and they it into their packaging. It was so inspiring for them as a company. Michael Dell himself got very engaged. The employees were very excited. Dell then asked us to engage other companies. So, we launched Next Wave Plastics in December, 2017 with eight companies with the intent of developing a collaborative where companies are working directly with each other. Competitors now are sitting across the table from each other, working with each other within industry and cross industry, to build infrastructure in parts of the world where the issue is the most acute. They then integrate the materials permanently into their products, thereby creating a fully circular economy. It's been very exciting to see. We had HP and IKEA join the list of companies in 2018, and we now have more companies coming on board over the course of the next six months. We see this as being one of those important actions being taken today by companies that are having a real impact. So, this year they're sourcing material and they're preventing it from going in the water. It's very exciting to see these companies take a strong leadership role. What is one piece of advice you would give other sustainability professionals that might help them in their careers? Be Curious. Don't think that you know all the answers and don't think you understand the questions that are being asked. Curiosity is what is going to allow us to find the solutions that don't currently exist to the problems that we're facing. What are you most excited about right now in the world of sustainability? There are two things. Number one, even amidst all of the bad news I don't see people giving up. I see people really rolling their sleeves up and digging in to these issues and wanting to just keep fighting the good fight and winning. I also see corporations turning the tide and that to me is really exciting. I think they're pushing themselves harder. I think they're not standing for what they've done in the past and they're really leading this discussion, which is what we need for them to do. What is one book you would recommend sustainability professionals read? Years ago I had the fortune of spending about a week on vacation, which is very unusual for anybody these days. I took the book Guns, Germs, and Steel with me on vacation. I'm bringing this up because it was one of the most influential books for me. Just really looking back over time in the history of our species, how we have migrated, how we have evolved, why we've done certain things. It was a very important book for me at the time to really recognize that I am but one small moment in time and there is history to learn from and there are patterns we need to start seeing and incorporate in how we build the vision of our future. There's one lesson learned from that book that I will share with your audience that I just think is hilarious and we have a lot to learn from it. Zebras were never domesticated because when they bite, they don't let go. And I think that's brilliant. Why are some things so difficult to change? It's because we have built in mechanisms to prevent the change that we don't want to have happen from happening. Change is hard for the zebra. The zebra has figured out how to never become domesticated. So how do we take that lesson and how do we apply it to the sustainability work that we do, especially when we're facing attractable change. What are some of your favorite resources or tools that really help you in your work? I spend a lot of time observing how my child interacts with the environment and noticing what he notices. As adults, I think we feel like we know all the answers and we're not always as observant because we've become accustomed to our environment. I like to spend time with people who look at the world differently and at Lonely Whale we actually spend a lot of time thinking about the non able-bodied community. Those who have physical or cognitive impediments. I think we need to start spending more time talking with those who can't interact the way that we've designed things and then I think we'll start learning more. Where can our listeners go to learn more about you and the work of your wonderful organizations? Lonely Whale is at lonelywhale.org and Green Sports Alliance is greensportsalliance.org. You're going to get a ton of information if you sign up for our newsletters. Follow us on Instagram at Lonely Whale. Come to the Green Sports Alliance Summit. It is going to be really exciting and it's really gonna pave the way for a lot of exciting, very thoughtful and thought provoking conversations about the wave of the future. Roger McClendon Roger McClendon is the Executive Director of the Green Sports Alliance. In his role, he leads the Alliance of international sports and stadium executives, as well as sustainability experts, to use sports as a vehicle to promote healthy, sustainability communities throughout the world. Prior to joining the Alliance, Roger was the first-ever Chief Sustainability Officer for Yum! Brands, whose holdings include Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and KFC restaurants. He also led the development of Blueline, a sustainable design guide for restaurants built on the LEED certification program. Blueline was a global standard implemented in approximately 5,000 Yum! Brand restaurants globally. Due to his efforts, Yum! Was named to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index in 2017 and 2018, as well as one of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens by Corporate Responsibility Magazine. You're relatively new to the position. Can give us a quick overview of what's going on with the Green Sports Alliance right now and maybe what you envisioned for the organization in the future? I've been with the Organization for a good four months now and I always say I'm standing on the shoulders of giants. This organization has been engaged with sustainability and sports for over nine years. We'll be coming up on our 10th year anniversary next year. Coming from west coast to east coast, I've heard varying stories about the inception of the Green Sports Alliance, but have to give kudos to Scott Jenkins, who's our chair of our board, and folks like Alan Hershkowitz and Paul Allen who put a lot of funding in early behind it and the impetus of bringing sports teams together to really stand for social and environmental progress. The west coast development, from the Sounders to the Portland Trailblazers to the Seattle Mariners, all those folks got together and decided that they wanted to take a position and push the environmental sustainability agenda. They saw this as regional and then they saw this as a national opportunity and it was formed. There's another story about the Philadelphia Eagles and the owning family asking an issue about deforestation and where their paper goods products came from. I think that's where Alan Hershkowitz and the folks that were leading the organization back then were able to break through and get them interested in supporting a sustainability position. So since then, the group has formed into the Green Sports Alliance, which is an international organization where we have representation in Japan, Europe and are growing the brand beyond the North American borders. It's a group of about 500-600 sports teams and venues, from the NFL, NBA, USTA, PGA. I don't want to leave anybody out, but there's a lot of influential sports leagues, teams and venues such as AEG and Staples Center. The folks that own those venues are all part of our membership-based organization. We take that seriously on our stewardship and what we need to do to set our strategy and our goals around this movement of sustainability. I like to break it up into three phases. Phase 1 is the sustainability 1.0 platform where you have engagement of your operations and your brand, league or stadium owner and you can really improve your operations from a triple bottom line perspective - people, profitability and planet. Phase 2, or the sustainability 2.0, has to do with engaging your fan base, your employees as well as the community. That's a little bit tougher and that happens to be where you spend a lot of time perhaps doing some campaigns and things like tree planting, understanding how you engage fans to participate in recycling efforts and things they can do beyond just the stadium itself. We're still in varying stages with different groups to make that happen. There's a lot of work left to be done there. The third phase, or sustainability 3.0, is defining what's next, but it's in the area of youth engagement, leveraging the Sustainable Development Goals from the United Nations and getting cities and communities to really help with clean energy and help make a bigger impact on what we're trying to do as a society. What is one piece of advice you would give other sustainability professionals that might help them in their careers? Continue to be bold and brave and set targets. Tehn, build a coalition and always keep the triple bottom line in mind as you're presenting. What are you most excited about right now in the world of sustainability? The international growth of the Green Sports Alliance. We just signed the United Nations Sports for Climate Action Change and we've just got so much support behind us. It's a commitment to some principles but what it really means is that we can galvanize everyone around it and really get to driving action around it. Now that we've got that under our belt, we see a lot more people like the NBA, the Yankees, USTA and others I'm sure it will be joining us as we move forward. What is one book you would recommend sustainability leaders read? Green to Gold is a classic and Food Foolish talks about waste and how much waste we have with the food supply. What are some of your favorite resources or tools that really help you in your work? I've engaged with World Wildlife Fund. WWF has always been a great partner and they've always had great resources globally. I think very highly of them as well as NRDC. Where can our listeners go to learn more about you and the work of the Green Sports Alliance? You can go to our website at greensportsalliance.org. You can actually come to the summit, which is going to be June 19th and 20th in Philadelphia at Lincoln Financial Field. You can go to our website and sign up.
