En este episodio analizamos a fondo con Meinrad “Meine” Spenger, CEO de MASORANGE cómo esta empresa gestiona la contaminación de su flota y cuál es el papel del 5G en la movilidad del futuro. Entramos de lleno en los datos: desde cuándo miden emisiones, cómo lo hacen y cuál ha sido la evolución real de su flota respecto a la media española. También ponemos el foco en las mejoras logradas en el último año y en qué vehículos han requerido medidas específicas por altos niveles de contaminación. Profundizamos en la estrategia de movilidad limpia de +Orange, un plan que incluye electrificación progresiva, auditorías internas, formación para una conducción más eficiente y políticas muy estrictas de renovación de vehículos. Descubrimos qué indicadores usan, cómo se certifican los resultados y qué acciones se aplican cuando un vehículo se desvía de los objetivos marcados. La flota de MasOrange disminuye sus emisiones casi un 20% en el último año Los resultados del estudio de emisiones reales realizado por el laboratorio español OPUS RSE mejoran de forma relevante los del año anterior. La flota de vehículos de MasOrange produce un 86% menos de emisiones que la media nacional de vehículos urbanos. El 15% de la flota de MasOrange cuenta con etiqueta ECO -un 50% más que la media nacional- y apenas hay vehículos sin distintivo ambiental, reflejo del fuerte compromiso medioambiental de la Compañía. Este análisis se ha realizado mediante el sistema de teledetección RSD6000 (Remote Sensing Device), bajo ISO 17025, que permite medir, a distancia y de forma precisa, las emisiones reales emitidas por cada vehículo en su libre circulación. Madrid, 11 de diciembre de 2025.- MasOrange, primer operador de telecomunicaciones en España por volumen de clientes y referente en políticas ESG, continúa firmemente comprometido con la sostenibilidad y la mejora de la calidad del aire en todas sus actividades, como así lo reflejan los resultados obtenidos en la última auditoría de emisiones reales de su flota de vehículos, realizada en la sede de la compañía en Pozuelo de Alarcón (Madrid). El estudio, llevado a cabo por el laboratorio español OPUS RSE -especializado en la teledetección de contaminantes derivados del tráfico rodado- confirma que los vehículos de MasOrange presentan unas emisiones muy por debajo de la media nacional y mejoran, además, notablemente los resultados del año anterior. En concreto, el índice “Emission Score” de la flota de MasOrange se sitúa en 0,25 g/km, lo que supone una mejora de casi el 20% respecto a las mediciones obtenidas en 2024, y es un 86% inferior al promedio de vehículos en circulación en ciudades españolas (1,82 g/km). Por otra parte, en los más de 400 vehículos medidos de MasOrange las emisiones contaminantes - como el monóxido de carbono (CO), hidrocarburos (HC), los óxidos de nitrógeno (NOx) y las partículas (PM)- son significativamente inferiores a las de otros similares en ciudades españolas, siendo especialmente destacable el bajo nivel de los contaminantes más nocivos, especialmente de PM y NO2, los más perjudiciales para la salud. Asimismo, destaca en la flota de MasOrange el elevado porcentaje de vehículos ECO (15% frente al 10% nacional) y la práctica ausencia de vehículos sin distintivo ambiental (solo 1% de flota de MasOrange vs. un 7,7% nacional). En el caso de vehículos con etiqueta CERO, el porcentaje es similar al del resto de España. Estos resultados son fruto de la apuesta de la Compañía por la continua renovación y optimización de su flota corporativa, para hacerla cada vez más sostenible y eficiente y seguir generando impacto positivo. Gracias a ello, MasOrange cuenta con un parque de vehículos con menor antigüedad media y mejores características ecológicas que los habituales en entornos urbanos. “Estamos muy satisfechos de comprobar, con resultados concretos y medibles, que nuestra apuesta por la generación de impacto positivo, a través de nuestras políticas de movilidad sostenible, van por el buen camino, como demuestra la reducción del 20% en las emisiones de nuestra flota”, dijo Meinrad Spenger, Consejero Delegado de MasOrange. Enfoque metodológico del estudio Este análisis se ha realizado mediante el sistema de teledetección RSD6000 (Remote Sensing Device), bajo ISO 17025, que permite –de forma parecida a un radar de velocidad– medir a distancia las emisiones reales emitidas por cada vehículo en su libre circulación, garantizando así la máxima precisión y transparencia en los resultados. La metodología de telemedición de emisiones es una tecnología eficiente y eficaz al identificar entre el 1% y 2% de los vehículos más emisores -que pueden contribuir con el 40% de las emisiones contaminantes-, para que sus propietarios puedan repararlos o sustituirlos. Para poder cuantificar los niveles con un indicador único, se recurre al índice “Emission Score”, que combina los diferentes contaminantes en un índice de contaminación único. El índice pondera el peso de cada contaminante sobre la salud, de forma que las partículas PM son las que más daño provocan, seguidas de NOx, HC y, en menor medida, CO. Para extraer las conclusiones, se realizaron cerca de 1.700 mediciones de vehículos durante el mes de noviembre de 2025 y se compararon no sólo con estudios realizados el año anterior, sino también con las emisiones medias de otras campañas realizadas por OPUS RSE en distintos municipios españoles durante el año 2025, con el fin de poner los niveles y cifras en contexto Los resultados, que reflejan el buen estado general de la flota de MasOrange y ponen de manifiesto la eficacia de las políticas de mantenimiento y renovación llevadas a cabo por la Compañía, refuerzan su compromiso firme y constante con la movilidad sostenible y la reducción del impacto ambiental de su actividad, alineándose con los objetivos nacionales y europeos de calidad del aire y salud ambiental. Además, exploramos cómo el 5G ya está impactando en la movilidad: El 5G se presenta como una evolución de red más eficiente energéticamente y con menor latencia. Esta mejora reduce el consumo eléctrico de las telecomunicaciones y habilita comunicaciones casi en tiempo real, requisito clave para aplicaciones críticas de movilidad conectada. En movilidad, facilita la transmisión instantánea de datos de mediciones ambientales y de tráfico. En el caso descrito, permite enviar en tiempo real los resultados de remote sensing de emisiones a las plataformas de analítica, activar avisos inmediatos al conductor y proporcionar a las administraciones información actualizada para actuar con rapidez. De cara al vehículo conectado y autónomo, el 5G aporta la latencia ultrabaja necesaria para V2X y conducción automatizada. Además, se están desplegando redes privadas 5G en entornos logísticos como los puertos de Barcelona y Valencia, lo que anticipa casos de uso industriales y de transporte más seguros, coordinados y con mayor calidad de servicio.

Former investment banker and ESG “whistleblower” Desiree Fixler joins The Winston Marshall Show to expose what she says is one of the biggest financial scams of the modern era.Fixler explains how she helped build the ESG and stakeholder capitalism framework from inside Wall Street before discovering it was being used to mislead investors, overcharge consumers, and rebrand powerful elites after the financial crash. Drawing on her time as Chief Sustainability Officer at Deutsche Bank's trillion dollar asset manager, she reveals how ESG labels were slapped onto funds with no evidence, no data, and no accountability.She describes how ESG became mandatory through regulation, how net zero and DEI targets distorted corporate decision making, and why trillions were diverted into unprofitable green projects while energy prices soared. Fixler recounts blowing the whistle internally, being fired, smeared, and forced to rebuild her life from scratch before US and German authorities later confirmed widespread ESG fraudWe discuss Klaus Schwab, the World Economic Forum, stakeholder capitalism versus shareholder capitalism, the role of consultants and regulators, and why Fixler believes ESG has undermined growth, trust, and democracy across the West.A rare inside account of how ESG really worked, who profited, and why the whole system is now beginning to collapse.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WATCH FULL EXTEND CONVERSATION HERE: https://open.substack.com/pub/winstonmarshall/p/i-helped-build-it-a-wef-davos-insider?r=18lfab&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction 02:19 Desiree's Background and Early Career 06:29 ESG Explained: Why It Was So Profitable11:26 When ESG Became Mandatory16:02 The Great Financial Crisis and ESG Rebranding18:07 The Backlash Against ESG23:48 The WEF's Influence and Control 25:51 Inside Deutsche Bank: Discovering ESG Fraud33:48 Fired, Smeared & Pushed Out44:52 The Multi-Trillion Dollar Industrial Complex57:43 Inside the World Economic Forum1:01:34 Soft Power, Global Governance & Democracy1:07:27 The Backlash Against ESG1:18:00 Final Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

Send us a textWe are back from hiatus and diving straight into the high-stakes world of Industry Season 3, Episode 3, "It." Join former Morgan Stanley investment bankers Jen and Kristen as we decode the finance behind the drama at the COP climate conference in Switzerland. In this episode, we break down the hypocrisy of ESG investing, the regulatory "Chinese Wall" between equity research and investment banking, and why pressuring an analyst for a buy rating isn't just frowned upon—it's illegal. We also analyze the mechanics of Petra and Harper's rogue attempt to launch a new "Leviathan" fund, fact-checking everything from non-compete clauses to Harper's strategic lie about being a former "trader" rather than a salesperson.Beyond the balance sheets, we dig into the psychological horror of the episode—from Eric's glitter-covered spiral into a midlife crisis to the trauma-bonding between Yasmin and Henry Muck. We discuss the nuances of "dad trauma," the reality of IPO lockup periods, and the cringe-worthy dynamics of pitching a non-ESG fund at a climate summit. We also explore the literary references to King Lear and Leviathan that foreshadow the power struggle between Harper, Petra, and the wealthy Otto Mostyn.Finally, we debate the double meaning of the episode title "It"—is it a reference to Stephen King horror, or simply who has the "It factor" to survive on Wall Street? We wrap up by delivering our Bullish and Bearish takes on the cast, deciding who is playing the long game and who is about to fold. Whether you're here for the technical breakdown of hedge fund marketing or the messy workplace drama, we've got the skinny on what's real and what's just Hollywood.Learn more about 9fin HERE Shop our Self Paced Courses: Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HERE Wealthfront.com/wss.

KINTO Join Ltd, the leading provider of full service ESG solutions, has announcesdthe launch of its new 360° sustainability solution, KINTO Zero. This is an end-to-end service featuring expert consultancy, an ESG reporting platform, and practical actionable tools - including the sustainable mobility platform, KINTO Join. Merging global standards with innovative technology, KINTO Zero helps organisations to reduce their carbon emissions and enhance their sustainability performance. Supported by Toyota Financial Services under the global KINTO brand, the platform enables organisations to collect and track data and generate audit-ready, compliance reports. In turn, it supports carbon accounting, reduction and offsetting pathways. As part of the KINTO Zero solution, organisations also gain access to professional ESG consultancy services. These include Double Materiality Assessments (DMA) - to access a company's priorities for their ESG strategy and reporting, comprehensive gap analysis, and the creation of tailored action plans. The solution also provides guidance on all reporting requirements - such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which requires organisation to lower their carbon footprint and is set for widescale adoption in 2026. Alongside reporting capabilities and consultancy services, the offering includes access to the KINTO Join platform which allows organisations to benefit from and implement sustainable mobility solutions. To celebrate the launch of KINTO Zero, KINTO Join Ltd. is inviting organisations to avail of its enterprise-grade commuting carbon calculator, free of charge. Using greenhouse gas (GHG) protocol, the calculator assesses an organisation's commuting emissions through a customisable survey. This enables them to better understand how their staff or students travel and track commuting emissions over an extended period of time. From a business perspective, the launch of KINTO Zero is expected to accelerate growth for KINTO Join Ltd. and strengthen its position in the growing ESG reporting software market, which is currently valued at $1.29B and is projected to be worth approximately $3.9B by 2032. As well as meeting the increasing demand for transparency and accountability in corporate sustainability, KINTO Zero will see KINTO Join Ltd. better support its customers and commuters in Ireland. Its recent piece of research - Ireland on the Move report - revealed that 39% of commuters believe their university or workplace has a responsibility to take action to meet sustainability goals and regulations. However, only 26% believe their university or workplace is doing a good job at meeting sustainability goals and regulations. Patrizia Niehuas, CEO, KINTO Join Ltd., said: "The introduction of KINTO Zero to our service offering further strengthens our position as a leading player within corporate sustainability. By integrating KINTO Zero with KINTO Join, organisations will not only be able to track and report their sustainability metrics more effectively but also take meaningful action towards reducing their carbon footprint. "As regulatory requirements and employee expectations continue to grow, adopting sustainable practices has never been more important. It also makes sense as organisations can empower their people and help the planet. These individual steps to drive towards ESG goals will ultimately spearhead a more sustainable future that we can collectively enjoy." See more stories here.

欢迎收听雪球出品的财经有深度，雪球，国内领先的集投资交流交易一体的综合财富管理平台，聪明的投资者都在这里。今天分享的内容叫石油投资的20个常见问题，来自亲爱的阿兰。1：电动车越来越多，会减少石油公司的利润吗？这个问题得拆开看，石油都用在哪里，电动车替代的到底是哪一块。现在全世界每天大概用掉一亿桶石油，真正烧在私家车油箱里的那部分大致只占三成左右。剩下七成是柴油卡车、工程机械、航空煤油、船舶燃料和化工原料。这些场景里，有些技术路线已经看得见了，比如重卡电动化、船舶用液化天然气或甲醇，有些还在试验阶段，但无论哪一条，都离短期全面替代还有很远的距离。就算只看乘用车，电动车对石油需求的影响也比很多人想象的温和得多。短视频里天天刷到的是电动车新车销量的渗透率，很多国家新车里新能源占比已经20%甚至更高。但路上跑的却是过去二三十年卖出去的全部车，一辆车从买来到报废要十几年，全球车队更新一轮往往要更长时间。根据2023到2024年各家机构的估算，电动车目前替代的石油需求大概在几十万到一两百万桶每天，占全球总需求的1%-2%左右。今天的现实是，电动车让石油需求的增速从3%降到1%，总需求还在缓慢增长。更关键的是供给端的行为变化。经历了2014年和2020年两次惨痛教训之后，无论是国际油公司还是美国页岩厂商，都被股东按着头上了一课。盲目砸资本开支、追求产量增长，最后的结果就是油价崩盘、资产减值。于是这两年需求端在被电动车一点点蚕食，供给端也在被ESG要求、利率上升和股东压力慢慢收紧，两边的力量在相互抵消。所以更准确的说法是，电动车会压低油价的天花板，让那种长期超过100美元的超级牛市变得更罕见。但只要全球每天还在用掉接近一亿桶石油，成本曲线和财政约束在那里，油价就很难长期躺在让所有人都亏钱的位置。电动车改变的是趋势的斜率，改变不了基本的供需框架。2：为什么油价最近总在60美元附近筑底？眼下这个60美元中枢有其内在逻辑，是几个关键力量拉扯后的结果。先看美国页岩油的成本结构。按照美联储达拉斯分行每年对页岩公司的问卷调查，老井继续生产覆盖运营成本大概需要30到40美元的W T I，但要算上新井投资、折旧和合理回报，大多数公司要看到60多美元才觉得这钱花得值。简单说，60美元是老井很舒服但新井不算太香的价位，不至于触发大规模减产，又刺激不起新一轮疯狂扩产。再看欧佩克的态度。这一轮他们给市场的信号很明确，2026年不再额外增产，先把之前收回的那一部分产量稳住。油价长期跌到40出头，他们的财政首先就顶不住。但如果油价一直在80到90美元，消费国和替代技术的压力也会越来越大。所以他们也倾向于把价格控制在一个自己能养活、别人还能忍受的中档区间。最后看需求和库存的平衡。全球经济谈不上繁荣，但到目前为止也没看到2008年那种级别的衰退信号。机构的基线判断是，2024到2025年大致是轻微累库的格局，供给略多于需求，却没有大到把库容挤爆的程度。这样一来，油价向上缺少紧平衡的弹药，向下又被成本和财政托着底。谁也不太满意，但谁都能活，差不多就是现在这个60美元上下的水平。3：石油还重要吗？会变成夕阳产业吗？绝对体量上，石油一点都不夕阳。今天这一亿桶每天的消耗里，撑着的是航空运输、全球航运、卡车物流、工程机械、农机、石化和数不清的下游产品。衣服、手机壳、塑料袋、化肥、药品，背后都离不开石油和天然气作为原料。即便在最激进的碳中和路径下，2030年前石油需求也是高位徘徊，谈不上断崖下跌。产业生命周期上，石油更像是从高速增长期进入成熟期。发达国家需求增速趋缓甚至见顶，新兴市场还在从很低的人均水平往上爬。当大家预期未来总量增长有限时，愿意给予这类资产的估值倍数自然会收敛。但成熟行业照样能赚钱，很多公用事业、电信、水泥、家电，都是在低增长高现金流的环境里给股东创造长期收益的。石油更可能是从成长股逻辑退回到高分红现金牛逻辑，这是估值逻辑的转变，谈不上产业价值的终结。4：油价是欧佩克说了算吗？油价背后有三个关键词，供给、需求、预期。供给端有两个大头，一是欧佩克这群传统产油国，二是美国页岩和其他非输出国来源，包括巴西、加拿大、圭亚那等新兴产区。需求端看的是全球经济、出行恢复、工业生产、电动车渗透率。预期则被浓缩在期货市场上，交易员和对冲基金会根据对未来供需的判断提前买进或卖出，从而影响当前价格。欧佩克确实有能力通过集体减产或增产对供给端进行调节。他们在库存偏低、需求强劲的时候宣布减产，通常能迅速把价格推高。但他们也有很多限制，美国页岩的反应速度、其他非输出国增量、全球经济周期都在制约他们的操作空间。各方力量共同决定了油价走向。欧佩克有影响力但并非万能，美国页岩是重要的平衡器，需求端的变化是根本驱动力。5：美国页岩油还能像以前那样疯狂增产吗？不能了。上一轮2010到2014年的美国页岩，确实是一台疯狂的增量机器。只要价格给信号，资本就涌进来，钻机往地上一扎，产量刷刷往上冲。那一轮有几个前提条件，甜点区块多、资金便宜、股东只要增长不要现金流。而今天，这几个前提都变了。第一是资源质量在下降。过去十几年，二叠纪盆地、鹰滩等地最优质的区块几乎被打了一遍，剩下的要么地质条件更差，要么开发更复杂，单位产量成本在上升。第二是股东诉求的转变。经历了2014年崩盘和2020年疫情，资本对高油价高产量增长的故事已经免疫了，要的是稳定的自由现金流、可持续的分红和回购。第三是金融环境收紧。利率上升、绿色金融要求更严，银行和资本市场对页岩公司的融资条件比以前苛刻得多。现实落到数字上就是，页岩在60美元附近依然能稳稳供应大量原油，但增产意愿和速度明显比上一轮弱。只有当油价持续处在70到80美元甚至更高时，才会有新一轮扩产的讨论。而一旦扩产过头，又会亲手把价格打回来。这种自我修正机制，让页岩从猛增的发动机变成了价格稳定器。6：油价的底线在哪里？油价的地板可以从三个层次来理解，运营成本、完全成本和财政成本。运营成本是老井继续挖油、不开新井的最低要求，美国大型页岩公司在30到40美元的W T I环境里仍然能维持生产。完全成本是加上新井投资、摊销、税费以后整个项目不亏本的门槛，绝大多数项目需要50到60美元甚至更高。财政成本则是产油国维持预算平衡需要的油价水平，沙特需要大约80美元，俄罗斯大概在60到70美元之间。综合起来，油价可以短期跌破成本地板，但很难长期停留在所有人都亏钱的区间。跌得越狠，越多高成本产能退出。时间拖得越久，越多财政和政治问题爆发。最后系统会通过供给收缩和减产协调把价格推回一个更健康的水平。这就是为什么很多机构会把50到70美元视为长期合理区间。7：库存为什么这么重要？库存可以理解为全世界油库和油轮上现有的油的存量，它是连接过去、现在和未来的桥梁。如果某个阶段全球每天的产量大于消费量，多出来的那部分就会进库存，叫累库。反过来，如果消费大于产量，就只好从库存里拉油出来用，叫去库。油价变化更多取决于库存的变化方向，而非绝对量。当市场预期未来几个季度都会累库时，买家就没必要抢货，卖家反而担心价格还会跌，期货曲线常常呈现近低远高的contango形态。反过来，当市场看到持续去库，就会担心未来供不应求，大家宁愿多付一点溢价提前锁货，曲线呈现近高远低的backwardation形态。专业的油气研究里，很多精力都花在构建全球供需平衡表和库存预测上。因为价格只是库存变化的影子，看懂库存趋势比追踪各种消息都管用。8：为什么会出现2014年和2020年那样的暴跌？极端行情通常来自极端组合，结构性错配加行为放大再加偶发事件。2014年以前的几年，美国页岩在100美元油价的刺激下狂飙突进，产量大幅超出预期。与此同时，欧佩克内部对是否减产意见不一，最后走上了抢份额、挤掉高成本竞争者的路。结果就是供给端的巨量增量和需求端的放缓叠加，油价从百元附近一路塌到四五十。2020年则更极端。全球疫情封锁打穿了需求端，一度有三分之一的油品需求在几周内消失，加上欧佩克在一开始还搞了一轮价格战，把问题从需求腰斩恶化为供需双崩。期货价格短暂跌至负值，本质上是库容用光加纸面多头被强平的流动性事故。这两次都说明一个事实，真正能把油价短期打到所有人都崩溃的水平的，往往是集体行为失误加黑天鹅事件。电动车这类缓慢变量，很难制造出类似的冲击。9：能源转型会让石油变得没人要吗？能源转型的目标是降低碳排、提高效率，并非一刀切禁止石油。现实世界的转型路径，更像是先改电力，再改终端，再改原料的渐进过程。电力系统端，风光核水的占比在缓慢上升，天然气电站在很多国家承担着调峰和兜底。终端消费端，城市交通和部分工业负荷在被电动化。化工和重工业端，则在探索氢能、碳捕集和更多原料替代。这是一场跨越几十年的系统工程，中间充满妥协。在这样的路径下，石油的角色会发生变化，但短期内难以消失。它会在某些领域先行退场，比如发达国家的乘用车燃油，在另一些领域保持顽强，比如航空和长途航运。更重要的是，做转型本身也需要石油，建设风电、光伏、储能、输电线路，都离不开钢铁、水泥、塑料和运输。10：油价高低对普通人有什么影响？最直观的感受当然是加油站，油价从60涨到90，每个月油费多出去几百块。物流成本是第二层。柴油和船燃是公路和海运的血液，高油价会推高运输成本，航空煤油价格上去，机票、快递价格也会跟着涨。宏观影响是第三层。高油价往往伴随更高的通胀压力，央行因此更偏鹰派，利率更高，最终反映到房贷、车贷和企业融资成本上。反过来，油价长期低迷，消费国短期受益，通胀压力小，物流成本低。但这会打击产油国和能源产业链所在地区，预算紧缩、就业压力、货币贬值，进而可能在地缘政治上制造新的不确定性。

In this conversation, John Tran talks about joining Vita Coco to help evolve their sustainability and social impact programs at the same time that were becoming a publicly traded company and going through the rigorous B Corp Certification process. He shared how they shifted their impact efforts from a collection of passion projects to a more coordinated and comprehensive ESG framework focused on protecting natural Resources, building thriving communities, and championing health & wellness. John then detailed some impact programs, like their ambitious goal of distributing and planting 10 million seedlings and trees globally! This conversation also covers the health benefits of coconut water, some big challenges in the coconut industry, and the importance of collaborating with local organizations to maximize impact in farming communities. John wraps up by sharing that a better world is one in which everyone is thriving, economically, socially, and beyond.Takeaways:Vita Coco became B Corp Certified and a publicly-traded, Public Benefit Corporation in 2021.Vita Coco's ESG framework focused on protecting natural Resources, building thriving communities, and championing health & wellness.Coconut water has 3.5X the electrolyte of common sports drinks.Aging trees have lower yields, which makes it harder to keep up with demand and reduces farmer income. Over a million seedlings have been distributed, with a goal of 10 million seedlings by 2030.The Vita Coco Community Foundation was founded to make sure that everyone in the coconut industry is thriving.Collaboration with local organizations is crucial for their impact programs.They partner with indigenous communities to train farmers in regenerative agriculture practices.Sound bites:“As brands come online with B Corp certification, it really gives us some kind of litmus to understand where we stand within the sustainability and social governance spaces.”“When you have many passionate people who are driving their passion projects, there isn't always a clear framework in terms of what we're driving towards.”“I very much see myself as kind of an accelerator to be able to support a lot of the projects that are existing within the organization.”“Coconut farming communities are just so inherent to our business, right? They are the heart of our business. And without them, there's really no VitaCoco.”“We want to create more economic empowerment within farming communities and more upward mobility by way of our impact programs.”“The great thing about coconut water is natural hydration. It has three and a half times the electrolytes of more common sports drinks.”“Finding what you're good at and what you're passionate about is really one of the keys to success of this role in any kind of role you'll have within sustainability.”Links:John Tran on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-tran-07047715/Vita Coco - https://vitacoco.com/Vita Coco on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-vita-coco-company/Vita Coco on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/VitaCocoUS/Vita Coco on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/vitacocoVita Coco on X - https://x.com/vitacocoVita Coco on SnapChat - https://www.snapchat.com/@vitacocoVita Coco on TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@vitacoco?…Brands for a Better World Episode Archive - http://brandsforabetterworld.com/Brands for a Better World on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/brand-for-a-better-world/Modern Species - https://modernspecies.com/Modern Species on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/modern-species/Gage Mitchell on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gagemitchell/…Print Magazine Design Podcasts - https://www.printmag.com/categories/printcast/…Heritage Radio Network - https://heritageradionetwork.org/Heritage Radio Network on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/heritage-radio-network/posts/Heritage Radio Network on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/HeritageRadioNetworkHeritage Radio Network on X - https://x.com/Heritage_RadioHeritage Radio Network on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/heritage_radio/Heritage Radio Network on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@heritage_radioSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Saving American Liberty, Session 5 In this session from the New Discourses event 'Saving American Liberty,' Michael O'Fallon argues that global political, corporate, and religious institutions are jointly reshaping Western society through “degrowth” policies, sustainability mandates, and ideological frameworks like ESG and the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, which he sees as mechanisms for centralizing control and limiting individual freedom. He contrasts the West's self-imposed economic contraction with China's expansion through the Belt and Road Initiative, claiming this shift empowers China while weakening America's global position. O'Fallon warns that identity-based conflicts, migration pressures, and urban destabilization are fragmenting Western societies into competing tribal enclaves, leaving them vulnerable to foreign influence. He concludes that COVID-era restrictions, digital surveillance, and AI-driven governance signal a broader transition from a merit-based, liberty-oriented system to one that demands ideological compliance from both citizens and institutions.

Today's guest is Ralph Bianculli, Founder/CEO of Emerald Ecovations. On episode 308 of The Green Insider, we discussed a number of items ranging from the journey to the finished product. Ralph described Ecovations’ journey in developing alternative materials for disposables, now producing over 370 finished goods. They control raw materials, convert them into products, and provide ESG reporting analytics to clients. Ralph noted that Scope 3 ESG reporting is challenging but valuable for sustainability goals, and Mike praised their impact on sustainable supply chains. Emerald Ecovations’ takes a circular economic approach: commissioning farmers to grow fibers like Miscanthus and using byproducts (e.g., bagasse) to create sustainable materials. Their licensing program allows manufacturers to use these materials for private labeling, supporting middle-market manufacturers and rural economies. They offer both raw materials and technology licensing. Their products are used in 370 finished goods across industries, organized into five product groupings following the 80-20 consumption rule. The broadline product is designed for high-velocity B2B consumption, aiding efficient inventory turns. The Miscanthus product, which retains four times its weight in water, is expanding into new markets like pet bedding and landscaping. Ralph highlighted Miscanthus as a versatile crop: grows 7-8 feet tall, harvested twice a year, replenishes soil nutrients, and thrives in a wide temperature range. It's the first such material launched in the U.S., with potential as a main material alongside bagasse and hemp. Learn about the launching of a tree-free packaging division for retail brands next year, emphasizing non-toxic and compostable features. They are in discussions with the EPA and Department of Agriculture about carbon credits, which could become valuable assets. Plans include expanding into packaging, landscaping, pet bedding, and attracting more talent.

In this episode of Energy Newsbeat – Conversations in Energy, host Stu Turley sits down with Nathan Lord, President of Shale Crescent USA, to unpack why Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania may be the world's most overlooked manufacturing and energy powerhouse. Nathan explains how the region's abundant, low-cost natural gas creates a world-class advantage for petrochemicals, power generation, and reshoring manufacturing from Europe and China—while also cutting emissions by building near the fuel source. They dive into Europe's deindustrialization, the risks of net-zero policies that export industry (and emissions) to China, the coming surge in gas demand from LNG and AI data centers, and why winning the “fuel race” is the key to U.S. energy security, grid reliability, and long-term prosperity for American workers.We wrote an introduction to this interview for the Energy News Beat Substack, and it included data compiled by Nathan and the Shale Crescent team. America's Strategic Energy Asset: Why the Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania Region Must Be Prioritized for Power, Prosperity, and National SecurityI look forward to more podcasts and interviews with CEOs from Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania to discuss this significant, strategic reindustrialization effort for the United States.

In this episode, Tamsin Ballard, Chief Investor Initiatives Officer at the PRI, reflects on a pivotal COP30 in Belém and what it means for investors navigating the next phase of the net zero transition. She is joined by Jan Kæraa Rasmussen, Head of ESG and Sustainability at PensionDanmark and member of the UN-convened Net-Zero Asset Owner Alliance Steering Group, and Daniel Gallagher, Senior Lead on Climate at the PRI. Both guests were closely involved in investor engagement around COP30, offering on-the-ground insights from São Paulo and Belém.Together, they unpack the shift from pledges to implementation, the growing involvement of finance ministries, and the rapidly evolving expectations for investors across mitigation, resilience and nature. They explore what COP30 delivered, and what still needs to happen to unlock the capital required for a global, just and investable transition.OverviewCOP30 marked a step change in how investors were integrated into climate discussions, with strong participation from finance ministries, MDBs, asset owners and global policymakers.From São Paulo to Belém, conversations were more grounded in real-economy transition needs, with a stronger focus on:scaling finance to emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs)strengthening NDC quality and investabilityreforming multilateral development banks (MDBs)mobilising catalytic capital for climate and naturerecognising the centrality of the climate-nature nexusJan and Daniel reflect on why investors must remain at the table, how policy signals are evolving, and what COP30 revealed about both the opportunities and risks in a multi-speed global transition.Detailed CoverageFrom pledges to implementationCOP30 reinforced that international negotiations alone cannot deliver the speed or scale required. Brazil's presidency emphasised an action agenda bridging policy and the real economy, pushing for greater alignment between investor needs and national transition pathways.Investment flows and the net zero transitionDaniel highlights PRI's latest analysis presented in Sao Paolo on investment flows to the clean energy transition, yet stresses ongoing misalignment between where capital is flowing and where it is most needed, particularly in EMDEs.

Jerry Bowyer talks with Missouri State Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick about the hidden influence of proxy advisory firms like ISS and Glass Lewis. Fitzpatrick explains why most pension plans lacked proxy guidelines (and the results of not having them), and how the left uses boardrooms to advance agendas that fail at the ballot box. He shares progress made in pushing back against ESG and why the battle for shareholder engagement is far from over.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

That early exposure to land and water shaped a life long focus on conservation. After a decade at The Conservation Fund structuring complex land deals, he co founded EIP in 2006 to answer a simple but difficult question.Can you use private capital, at scale, to restore degraded ecosystems while still meeting the financial expectations of institutional investorsOver almost twenty years, EIP has shown that the answer is yes.The firm acquires degraded land, restores wetlands, streams, and habitats, then sells mitigation credits to public and private developers that are required by law to offset their environmental impacts. It is a space where environmental protection, infrastructure, housing, and finance all intersect.In this conversation, Nick explains how mitigation banking actually works, why these markets are fully regulated and compulsory, how a new 400 million dollar fund will expand EIP's work, and why he believes more young people should bring serious financial skills into the environmental sector. ----------------------------------------Investing in Impact is powered by Causeartist, a nonprofit media company dedicated to bridging the gap between capital and culture by spotlighting founders, investors, and organizations reimagining how business can serve people and the planet.Through storytelling, events, and open-access education, Causeartist helps create a shared language of impact, inspiring more founders to build with purpose and more funders to invest with intention.By amplifying ideas and innovations across industries, Causeartist transforms awareness into action and cultivates a community where paying it forward is part of the foundation for growth.

The Flashpoints of Woke Capitalism: Occupy Wall Street and the SEC — Charles Gasparino — Gasparinoidentifies the 2008 financial crisis and the ensuing progressive populist backlash, including the Occupy Wall Streetencampment at Zuccotti Park, as pivotal flashpoints accelerating corporate woke adoption. CEOs embraced ESG and DEI frameworks, influenced by ideological groupthink at forums like Davos. Corporate leadership adopted stakeholder capitalism as a political defense mechanism against progressive lawmakers including Senator Elizabeth Warren and regulatory pressure. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), particularly under the Biden administration, has begun systematically enforcing woke corporate policies through regulatory authority. 1931

Woke Capitalism: Origins, ESG, DEI, and the Power of BlackRock — Charles Gasparino — Gasparino traces the origins of "woke capitalism," detailing how corporate America became an active institutional agent for progressive social change. This ideological shift, accelerated through boardroom political calculations, led to widespread adoption of corporate acronyms including ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) and DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion), redirecting corporate focus from shareholder returns toward stakeholder capitalism models. Larry Fink's BlackRockstrategically recognized that managing progressive-oriented investment funds could attract trillions in assets, positioning the firm as a powerful enforcer of these policies across corporate America. 1927

SHOW 11-28-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1963   The Genius of Early Photography: Nadar, Daguerre, and Dangerous Chemistry — Anika Burgess — Burgess details the risky and adventurous origins of photography as a practical medium. She examines Nadar, a visionary figure who deployed a giant balloon named Léon to fund experiments in heavier-than-air flight, having previously conducted innovative photographic expeditions into Paris's catacombs. Burgess also recounts Daguerre's 1839 presentation of the daguerreotype—a remarkably realistic, singular image created using hazardous chemicals including iodine and mercury, which posed significant occupational and health risks to early practitioners. Early Photography's Scientific Reach: Lunar and Underwater Photography — Anika Burgess — Burgessexplores early photography's critical scientific applications, noting that François Arago predicted the daguerreotype would enable detailed mapping of the lunar surface. Early astrophotographers encountered formidable technical challenges involving distance calculations, celestial motion, and insufficient ambient light. James Nasmyth controversially photographed plaster casts and molds of the lunar surface, which contemporary observers praised as scientifically truthful. Burgess also highlights Louis Boutan, who persistently developed practical underwater photography using pressurized hard-hat diving equipment, establishing a new scientific capability. Photography and Social Justice: Riis, Watkins, and the Question of Truth — Anika Burgess — Burgessdemonstrates how photography became a transformative tool for social advocacy and reform. Jacob Riis, a newspaper journalist documenting Manhattan's tenement poverty, employed flash powder ignited in cast-iron frying pans to photograph the grim, overcrowded interior conditions of slums for his landmark book How the Other Half Lives, frequently without obtaining subject consent. Burgess also discusses Carleton Watkins, who transported over 2,000 pounds of large-format photographic equipment to Yosemite Valley, producing images that proved instrumental in securing federal preservation and protection of the landscape. From X-Rays to Motion Pictures: Expanding the Photographic Medium — Anika Burgess — Burgess traces the expansion of photographic technology beyond conventional image capture. She examines Alice Austin'sintimate and playful photographs documenting her social circle with candid authenticity. The discovery of X-raysby Wilhelm Röntgen was rapidly branded as "the new photography" or "shadow photography," adopted swiftly for both entertainment and medical diagnostic applications despite practitioners possessing no understanding of severe radiation hazards. Burgess concludes with Paul Martin's candid street photography using concealed cameras hidden within top hats and Eadweard Muybridge's sequential motion studies, which directly enabled the invention of motion pictures. Angelica Schuyler: Albany, Elopement, and the Start of the Revolution — Molly Beer — Beer discusses her book Angelica, focusing on Angelica Schuyler Church, daughter of General Philip Schuyler. Her mother, Katherine, oversaw construction of their Albany residence, The Pastures, a substantial estate reflecting family prominence. Angelica received a rigorous education consistent with Dutch cultural traditions emphasizing women's financial and business literacy for family management. In 1777, during Burgoyne's invasion of New York, Angelica profoundly disappointed her mother by eloping with John Carter, an Englishman she found intellectually engaging and cosmopolitan. Angelica and the Founders: The Revolution and the Hamilton Connection — Molly Beer — Beer examines Angelica's pivotal role during the American Revolution, including her service alongside Rochambeau's army, traveling to Yorktown shortly after delivering her third child. Her sister Elizabeth ("Betsy") married Alexander Hamilton, who deliberately married into the prominent Schuyler family to elevate his social standing and political prospects. Following the war, Angelica's eldest son, Philip, founded the town of Angelica in western New York, the community where Beer herself was subsequently raised. Angelica in Europe: John Church, London Society, and Diplomacy — Molly Beer — Following ratification of the peace treaty, Angelica and her husband sailed to Paris to collect outstanding payments owed by the Frenchgovernment. John Carter leveraged the wartime amnesty to settle accumulated debts, reconcile with his estranged family, and legally adopt the name John Barker Church. Angelica relocated to London's elegant Mayfairneighborhood, where she established herself as a prominent American patriot. She strategically positioned herself at the intersection of cultural and diplomatic negotiations, entertaining influential figures including Lafayette and the Adamses, while exerting subtle influence over American diplomatic representatives toward negotiated peace. Angelica's Later Life: Return, Tragedy, and Founding Angelica, NY — Molly Beer — Angelica visited the United States for President Washington's 1789 inauguration but quickly returned to London, disappointed that the nascent republic fell short o Woke Capitalism: Origins, ESG, DEI, and the Power of BlackRock — Charles Gasparino — Gasparinotraces the origins of "woke capitalism," detailing how corporate America shareholder returns toward stakeholder capitalism models. L The Flashpoints of Woke Capitalism: Occupy Wall Street and the SEC — Charles Gasparino — Gasparinoidentifies the 2008 financial crisis and the ensuing progressive populist backlash, including the Occupy Wall Streetencampment at Zuccotti Park, as pivotal flashpoints accelerating corporate woke adoption.... Disney and ESPN: Running a Blue Company in a Red State — Charles Gasparino — Gasparino analyzes the radicalization of the Walt Disney Company, noting that CEO Bob Iger brought progressive cultural affinities while the company.... Go Woke, Go Broke: The Financial Backlash and Corporate Retreat — Charles Gasparino — Gasparinoreports that woke capitalism is experiencing significant financial retrenchment as corporations suffer bottom-line consequences... Freedom's Forge: FDR, WWII Mobilization, and Bill Knudsen — Arthur Herman — Herman discusses his book Freedom's Forge, detailing the extraordinary challenge FDR confronted in May 1940 to prepare America for modern industrial warfare. The preeminent industrialist summoned for this task was Bill Knudsen, CEO of General Motors. Knudsen, a Danish immigrant and former Ford executive, possessed unparalleled expertise in flexible mass production—the capacity to modify production line processes continuously while maintaining output. Knudsen applied these revolutionary manufacturing techniques to transform the American automobile industry into an "Arsenal of Democracy," producing critical war materiel including military trucks and armored tanks. Henry Kaiser: The Builder of Liberty Ships — Arthur Herman — Herman profiles Henry Kaiser, the second transformative figure in Freedom's Forge. Kaiser, a road construction entrepreneur who had previously coordinated monumental infrastructure projects including the Boulder Dam, demonstrated relentless commitment to ambitious thinking and delivery ahead of schedule and under budget constraints. In late 1940, Kaiser persuaded both Britishand American governments to contract him to construct "throwaway freighters"—Liberty ships—despite possessing no prior shipbuilding experience. Between 1941 and 1945, Kaiser successfully built 2,710 Liberty ships, fundamentally enabling Allied logistics and supply operations. The B-29 Superfortress and the Battle of Omaha — Arthur Herman — Herman recounts the genesis of the B-29 Superfortress bomber, conceived after General Hap Arnold consulted with Charles Lindbergh in 1939. The B-29 represented the ultimate expression of air supremacy doctrine, demanding revolutionary technologies including pressurized crew cabins and remote-controlled gun turrets that did not yet exist. Bill Knudsen directed the program, overcoming severe delays and persistent technical deficiencies. Knudsen won the "Battle of Omaha" by insisting that aircraft be extensively modified after assembly to achieve operational flight status, thereby integrating a massive female industrial workforce into B-29 production processes. Lessons from WWII: Unleashing Private Enterprise — Arthur Herman — Herman explores the strategic tension during WWII between New Deal administrators favoring centralized government command and industrialists prioritizing private sector innovation and operational flexibility. FDR and Knudsen learned from the disastrous centralized economic control failures of WWI, choosing instead to permit American private enterprise to "determine production methodologies and develop solutions for urgent national requirements." The fundamental secret to Allied victory was unleashing private sector dynamism, entrepreneurial expertise, and competitive energy. Herman draws contemporary parallels, arguing that modern defense strategy must replicate this model, contrasting bureaucratic NASA operations with innovative private enterprises including SpaceX.

As we head into 2026, most pest control owners say they want to “grow”… but very few have actually defined what that growth should look like. In this episode, we hit pause on the day-to-day chaos and walk through how to decide who you really want to be in your local market: slow-and-steady, a tight operation adding a couple of strong routes, or a fast-growth brand aiming to dominate your service area.From there, we break that vision down into a practical 2026 blueprint built quarter by quarter. Instead of one big fuzzy annual goal, you'll hear how to structure four 90-day sprints with clear priorities, measurable targets, and end-of-quarter evaluations that keep you honest and on track.We'll also look ahead at some of the big shifts coming for pest control companies in 2026—from AI-driven tools and smart monitoring to tighter regulations, demand for greener solutions, subscription-style service models, and higher customer expectations around digital communication and transparency. The goal of this episode is simple: help you build a realistic, intentional plan that matches the company you want to become, instead of rolling into another year just hoping it'll be better than the last.In this episode, you'll learn:How to define the kind of pest control company you actually want to be in your marketWhy “grow” is not a real plan—and how to replace it with a clear 2026 identityHow to build a quarter-by-quarter blueprint with focused 90-day sprintsWhat to include in your end-of-quarter evaluations so you can adjust, not just complainThe major changes coming in 2026: AI, smart monitoring, regulations, ESG, and greener expectationsHow subscription models, online booking, and digital inspections are reshaping customer experienceWhat top-tier local companies will do differently to win and keep the best residential and commercial accountsUse this episode as your working session: listen, hit pause, and start sketching the 2026 blueprint for your business.nect with UsPlease review us at Rhino Pest Control Marketing and interact with us to let us know how we can improve in 2025.Casey Lewis

PREVIEW — Charles Gasparino — Go Woke, Go Broke: CEOs, Groupthink, and the Radicalization of Corporate America. Gasparino argues in Go Woke, Go Broke that the radicalization of American corporate leadership originated at the executive level, not within HR departments. He contends that concepts including ESG and DEI were systematically adopted through corporate groupthink, particularly at Davos, which he characterizes as "progressive group think on steroids." This dynamic has created an ecosystem wherein CEOs collectively pursue an identical corporate agenda divorced from shareholder interests and market realities.
