Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP Guys, the Giro is underway and that can only mean one thing; it's time for me to wheel out that classic old LITP story of the time I rode the Team Time Trial at the 2014 Giro with the Greenedge boys and we only went and bloody won it!...What do you mean I bring it up every year? Seriously, though, this is one of my favourite episodes we've ever made. I know some of you will have heard it before when it was first released during lockdown, but there's a lot of new listeners in the Pelo now who may not have heard me catching up with Orica Greenedge's ‘Class Of ‘14' Giro squad who took the win in the opening TTT in Belfast at the 2014 Giro d'Italia. This is a monster ep, with amazing stories from Svein ‘Sveino' Tuft, ‘Cam-a-carzi' Meyer, Michael ‘Bling' Matthews, Michael ‘Heppy' Hepburn, Pieter ‘Weendog' Weening, Brett ‘Burt' Lancaster, Matt ‘Whitey' White, and - of course - my old mate Luke ‘Durbo' Durbridge. What a line up?!  I absolutely loved relistening to this, and reliving the memories from over 10 years ago. This was one of my best days on the bike, surrounded by an amazing group of guys who I'm still good mates with today.  It's the first rest day of the 2025 Giro today, so this should keep you excited before the racing kicks off again in Italy tomorrow. Sit back, relax, and enjoy; I hope you love it. Cheers, Mitch

This week we are pleased to bring you one of our most popular episodes of 2024. Please enjoy, and we will be back next week with more insights from the Corruption, Crime, and Compliance podcast.How can companies build trust and drive growth in a region as politically and economically volatile as Latin America? In this episode, Nicolas Garcia - Vice President, Legal, Regional and Compliance Manager for LATAM and Orica - joins Michael Volkov to discuss the complexities of navigating compliance and leadership in LATAM. The conversation highlights how regional dynamics, such as the crisis in Venezuela, influence business operations and how cultural shifts are changing the role of compliance officers. Nicolas provides valuable insights on the evolving compliance landscape, emphasizing the importance of trust, leadership, and a strong compliance culture in driving business success in challenging environments.Listen in as Nicolas and Mike discuss:The ongoing political and economic crisis in Venezuela has led to massive immigration into neighboring countries like Colombia, Chile, and Brazil, creating both economic challenges and opportunities in the region.Guyana is experiencing rapid growth due to foreign investment, particularly in the oil and gas sectors, standing in stark contrast to Venezuela's decline.Nicholas emphasizes the shift from compliance officers being seen as enforcers to becoming strategic business partners. This transition helps companies not only meet regulatory requirements but also drive success.Establishing a trust-based relationship between compliance officers and leadership is essential. When compliance is integrated into the business strategy, it becomes a tool for enabling growth rather than a barrier.Trust in reporting systems is growing in Latin America, though fear of retaliation remains a concern. Anonymous reporting is on the rise, and substantiation rates are increasing as employees gain confidence in the system's integrity.Ensuring that investigations follow due process is critical to maintaining credibility in compliance programs. It also helps improve trust and the success rate in legal outcomes.Resources:Nicolas Garcia on LinkedInNicolas Garcia on Email: Nicolas.Garcia@Orica.comMichael Volkov on LinkedIn | TwitterThe Volkov Law Group

Century Lithium CEO Bill Willoughby joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share significant progress with Proactive, revealing the company has entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Orica Specialty Mining Chemicals. The MOU sets the groundwork for a formal multiyear offtake agreement, enabling Orica to purchase sodium hydroxide from Century Lithium's Angel Island project near Silver Peak, Nevada. Orica, a global leader in mining and infrastructure solutions, is also a key manufacturer and supplier of specialty mining chemicals to Nevada's mining sector. This collaboration strengthens Century Lithium's integration into the region's mining ecosystem. Willoughby elaborated on the company's innovative and patent-pending process for extracting lithium from the claystone at Angel Island. The method combines chloride leaching with direct lithium extraction, utilizing salt—either as solid sodium chloride or saline brine—to produce reagents for leaching and pH control. Beyond lithium carbonate as the primary product, the process generates surplus sodium hydroxide, which is anticipated to contribute significantly to keeping operating costs low. The initial agreement with Orica spans five years and includes the option for an additional five-year extension under a right-of-first-offer arrangement. This partnership underscores the Angel Island project's potential for not only producing lithium efficiently but also leveraging by-products to create sustainable operational synergies. Century Lithium's progress at Angel Island marks a critical step in the company's mission to deliver cost-effective and innovative solutions to the growing demand for lithium and related chemicals. #proactiveinvestors #centurylithiumcorp #tsxv #lce #otcqx #cydvf #mining #oricaspecialtymining #LithiumExtraction #BatteryTechnology #RenewableEnergy #MiningInnovation #SustainableEnergy #NevadaProjects #ChemicalProcessing #CleanEnergySolutions #ProactiveInvestors

(1) I'm beginning this podcast episode with a great article titled The Top Stocks Widely Owned by ESG Funds. It's by Frances Aufderheide and found on morningstar.com. Here are some quotes from the article. “We found five stocks owned exclusively by large-cap sustainable funds in the industrials, materials, and healthcare sectors. We describe them below, with insight from Morningstar analysts and Sustainalytics. Source: Morningstar Direct. Weights as of Oct. 31, 2024. Data as of Nov. 5, 2024. 1. Ecolab (ECL) Morningstar Rating: 2 Stars Morningstar ESG Risk Rating Assessment: 3 Globes Price/Fair Value: 1.14 Total Return Year to Date (Month-End): 24.75 ‘As the global leader in the cleaning and sanitation industry, Ecolab provides products that help its hospitality, foodservice, and life-sciences customers do laundry, wash dishes, maintain clean manufacturing environments, and ensure regulatory compliance. With unmatched scale and a solid razor-and-blade business model, Ecolab's competitive advantages are firmly in place.' ‘Ecolab's largest growth driver over the next decade will be the water business, which generates the majority of revenue in the industrial segment. During the quarter, water revenue grew 3% versus the prior-year quarter on an organic basis, excluding currency movements.' —Seth Goldstein, Morningstar Strategist 2. Agilent Technologies (A) Morningstar Rating: 4 Stars Morningstar ESG Risk Rating Assessment: 4 Globes Price/Fair Value: 0.91 Total Return Year to Date (Month-End): (5.76) Agilent provides instruments, software and services for laboratories. ‘Agilent offers differentiated technology that is protected by various intangible assets, including patents, copyrights, and trademarks.

(2) The second article today reviews a company that is an old favorite of ethical and sustainable investors. The article is titled Buy First Solar Stock on the Dip. Solar Energy Will Be Too Good an Opportunity for President-Elect Trump to Pass Up. It's by James Brumley and found on fool.com. Here are a few of his comments on First Solar stock. “First Solar (FSLR) Investors suspect pro-oil President-elect Donald Trump could also prove unsupportive of renewable energy. In fact, most clean energy stocks are down since his Nov. 5 election on this very worry. First Solar has been no exception to the industrywide sell-off. This weakness, however, is also a buying opportunity for anyone interested in owning a piece of the solar panel maker, or in adding exposure to the solar industry as a whole. The solar power movement is too big and too well-developed for Donald Trump to bring to a halt now. First Solar is also well-positioned to sidestep one of the few meaningful actions the president-elect could take to disrupt the solar industry's growth. Solar is just too competitive to stop now Data gathered by Wood Mackenzie and reported by the U.S. Department of Energy indicates that utility-scale solar power is now in line with the cost of natural gas and coal-fired power… The irony? Largely because it's the cheapest means of adding utility-scale power production there, solar is growing like wildfire in several states like Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas that picked Trump to be president during the recently ended election cycle. To the extent voters picked Trump for economic reasons, they'll certainly appreciate cheaper electricity and its positive impact on the economy. The 2022 passage of the Inflation Reduction Act is admittedly fueling much of this growth, by offering taxpayers a tax credit of up to 30% of the cost of a solar power system. The IRA also incentivizes utility-scale solar power projects as well as the manufacturing of solar panels themselves… But tariffs? While unspecific as well as far from being certain (Trump argues the mere threat of tariffs is enough), First Solar is mostly immune to their impact anyway. Although the company requires some imported materials that may be subject to such tariffs, it's an American manufacturer mostly serving the North American market, where the company believes over 90% of its immediate revenue opportunities await… Data source: StockAnalysis.com. Chart by author. Give at least partial credit for this brewing growth to First Solar's Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) photovoltaic panels. Although they make its design and production processes more complicated and more costly than that of more conventional silicon panels, this technology proves more durable while at the same time delivering more power. Utility-scale buyers are increasingly seeing these high-performance panels as an investment rather than an expense, as they further lower the effective per-kilowatt cost of solar power… The market's overestimating the risk, and underestimating First Solar Now all of a sudden First Solar's stumble since early November and its much bigger 37% pullback from June's peak looks like an entry opportunity. The analyst community agrees, anyway. Undeterred by political rhetoric and handwringing, most of them still consider First Solar stock a strong buy, sporting a consensus price target of $280.79. That's almost 50% above the stock's present price.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Consider These Top ESG Stocks! (3) This next article, though from Australia, might interest many investors outside of that wonderful country. It's titled The Ethical Investor: These three ESG award-winning ASX companies show how it's done. It's by Eddy Sunarto found on ntnews.com.au. Here are some of what Mr. Sunarto says about his picks. “1. Orica (ASX:ORI) was named Australia's most sustainable company in the 2024 Australian Financial Review Sustainability Leaders awards, taking home top honours for its significant environmental impact. The company, a global leader in commercial explosives, was recognised for its groundbreaking emissions abatement project at its Kooragang Island plant near Newcastle, NSW. This project is the largest of its kind in the Australian chemicals sector, reducing emissions by 45% at the site and cutting national chemical industry emissions by 11%... The judges believe Orica's efforts have not only addressed environmental challenges but have also driven economic growth, injecting millions into the local economy while future-proofing critical manufacturing capabilities for industries such as mining, agriculture and healthcare. The company's commitment to sustainability is also reflected in its ambitious climate targets, aiming for net zero emissions by 2050. 2. Sims Metal Management (ASX:SGM) an Australian-based global recycling company with a 106-year history, was named the most sustainable corporation of 2024 by Corporate Knights, topping its Global 100 list. Known for its role in the circular economy, Sims has been integral in reducing carbon emissions by recycling metals like steel, copper, and aluminium – which are crucial in industries like electric vehicles, wind turbines and solar panels. In 2023 alone, the company's efforts saved 13 million tonnes of CO₂, equivalent to removing nearly three million cars from the road, according to its reports. Sims' approach to sustainability extends beyond recycling, with ambitious goals to transition to renewable energy in its operations by 2025 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050… The company is investing in advanced technologies, like automated sorting systems and AI robots, to improve the efficiency of its recycling processes. Although these innovations may not always attract the same attention as large renewable energy projects, CEO Stephen Mikkelsen said that metal recycling plays a vital role in decarbonising industries and contributing to a sustainable future. 3. Australian Vintage (ASX:AVG) won the 2024 Global Drinks Intel ESG Award for Sustainable Wine Producer, which was announced in September. The award recognised the company's strong commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles, despite current challenges within the Australian wine industry. The company had earlier achieved B Corp certification in February, making it one of only three Australian wine companies with this status. Australian Vintage's ESG strategy focuses on three key pillars: 'Thriving People', 'Nurture Nature', and 'Meaningful Growth'. The company said all these are supported by measurable, verifiable performance… The judges praised Australian Vintage for not just making ESG commitments, but for quantifying and achieving real, impactful results.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Additional Articles of Interest 1.

Today we had the pleasure of hosting Michelle Manook, CEO of FutureCoal, for an insightful discussion on coal from a global perspective – an important yet often overlooked topic. Michelle joined FutureCoal in 2019 and previously held senior roles at Orica, Archer Energy, Brockman Mining, and Woodside. As CEO, she leads FutureCoal's mission to support key players across the coal value chain and advocates for balanced and inclusive international energy policies that respect the sovereign rights of coal-producing and coal-consuming nations. We were delighted to visit with Michelle. We covered a lot of ground in our conversation, beginning with an overview of FutureCoal, the significance of their rebrand from the “World Coal Association,” and Michelle's path to the coal industry, driven by a commitment to the humanitarian aspects of energy access and poverty alleviation as well as a keen drive for a challenge. We discuss technological advancements in coal, including the improved efficiency and emissions control in modern coal plants compared to older facilities, coal's multifaceted role beyond power generation, and the need for balanced energy policies that give coal fair access to technology investment and funding. We explore potential outcomes from COP 29 for coal, the need to expand the definition of abatement to include any emissions reduction efforts, and the impact of High-Efficiency Low-Emissions (HELE) technology and improved energy efficiency as significant contributors to emissions reductions. We cover investment trends in coal, global coal dynamics, Michelle's views on coal's importance for national security and international competitiveness, and the investment case for sustainable coal technologies. Michelle also emphasizes the needs and aspirations of developing nations for equitable energy access. It was a wide-ranging discussion and we can't thank Michelle enough for sharing her time and insights with us. As you'll hear, Michelle references data from a few reports in our conversation. FutureCoal's report entitled “Clean Coal Technology in ASEAN: Balancing Equity, Security & Sustainability” is linked here and FutureCoal's report entitled “Addressing UN Sustainable Development Goals in the ASEAN Coal Value Chain” is linked here. Mike Bradley opened the conversation by noting that many markets have rallied since Trump's election as the 47th President of the United States. Since the election, the 10-year bond yield rose from ~4.25% to ~4.45% driven by concerns that Wednesday's CPI report could print hotter than expected and cause the FED to head towards a temporary rate cut pause. Interest rates and the US dollar look to be moving higher on a belief that Trump's trade policies (higher tariffs) and a push towards less regulations will lead to higher real growth and higher US deficits. On the crude oil market front, since the election, WTI has fallen roughly $4/bbl to ~$68/bbl due to optimism that Trump could quickly move towards peace negotiations in the Middle East & Ukraine. He noted that while Trump's slogan of “Drill Baby Drill” proved to be a good campaign slogan, the reality is that US producers are laser focused on capital discipline and shareholder returns and that's unlikely to change.  Mike further noted that some believe Trump could move to implement Iranian oil sanctions early in his term, which would be offset by ample OPEC spare capacity. On the broader equity market front, since the election the DJIA, S&P 500 & Nasdaq are all up ~4-5%, the Russell 2000 is up ~7% and Bitcoin is up ~30%. Broader equity markets are technical

How can companies build trust and drive growth in a region as politically and economically volatile as Latin America? In this episode, Nicolas Garcia - Vice President, Legal, Regional and Compliance Manager for LATAM and Orica - joins Michael Volkov to discuss the complexities of navigating compliance and leadership in LATAM. The conversation highlights how regional dynamics, such as the crisis in Venezuela, influence business operations and how cultural shifts are changing the role of compliance officers. Nicolas provides valuable insights on the evolving compliance landscape, emphasizing the importance of trust, leadership, and a strong compliance culture in driving business success in challenging environments.Listen in as Nicolas and Michael discuss:The ongoing political and economic crisis in Venezuela has led to massive immigration into neighboring countries like Colombia, Chile, and Brazil, creating both economic challenges and opportunities in the region.Guyana is experiencing rapid growth due to foreign investment, particularly in the oil and gas sectors, standing in stark contrast to Venezuela's decline.Nicholas emphasizes the shift from compliance officers being seen as enforcers to becoming strategic business partners. This transition helps companies not only meet regulatory requirements but also drive success.Establishing a trust-based relationship between compliance officers and leadership is essential. When compliance is integrated into the business strategy, it becomes a tool for enabling growth rather than a barrier.Trust in reporting systems is growing in Latin America, though fear of retaliation remains a concern. Anonymous reporting is on the rise, and substantiation rates are increasing as employees gain confidence in the system's integrity.Ensuring that investigations follow due process is critical to maintaining credibility in compliance programs. It also helps improve trust and the success rate in legal outcomes.Resources:Nicolas Garcia on LinkedInNicolas Garcia on Email: Nicolas.Garcia@Orica.comMichael Volkov on LinkedIn | TwitterThe Volkov Law Group

Jack Haig is one of only a handful of Australian riders to have stood on a Grand Tour podium. An almost accidental pro who fell into a career on the road whilst surfing and mountain biking back in his home in Australia as a teenager, he has been a constant presence in the biggest stage races in the world since his breakthrough ride, winning the Queen stage of the 2017 Tour of Poland as a second-year pro.   While his consistency as a stage racer is pretty standout (he's been fifth at the Dauphiné three times, which is eye-opening when you know how bloody hard that thing is!) his story off the bike is just as - if not more, fascinating.   There can be a lot of pressure to conform in professional road cycling but there is something a little bit unique in a lot of pros, and the best ones are the ones who accept that part of their character and embrace it to be a better rider.  With Jack, it's been clear since the very early days (when we were teammates at Orica) that he was a rider who did things his own way and didn't feel the need to fit into what was expected.   I love getting behind the scenes with characters like Haigy here on the pod. These are the guys, the opinions, and the stories that make the peloton such a fascinating place, and prove that you can do things your own way off the bike whilst being hugely successful on it.    As well as the big results, Jack has dealt with some pretty serious setbacks too, crashing out of the Tour in 2021 when in the best form of his life. We talk about how he dealt with this and other setbacks, as well as what keeps him coming back to be in the mix in those super hard week-long stage races that he loves (watch out Dauphiné - he's currently lurking just outside the top ten of this years edition…)   It'll hopefully be a big European summer for Jack so chuck the pod on and get to know one of the peloton's true characters!   This episode is supported by our friends at HVNM.

Since 2007, experienced in-house counsel David Sinclair has been leading expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic. He's discovered, during his multiple ventures to the polar regions, that there are more similarities between leading such trips and in-house legal work than one might think. In this episode of The Corporate Counsel Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Islands and Ice Travel director David Sinclair, who is also an experienced legal counsel who has worked for BHP, Newcrest Mining, Orica, BlueScope, and Energy Australia. He speaks about how and why he decided to set up a travel company that explores the polar regions, the perspective he's gleaned on the challenges facing those corners of the globe, and how he balances his in-house roles with running his travel company. Sinclair also delves into being able to engage with people from all over the world that he otherwise would not have met, what he's learnt (personally and professionally) that have improved him as a legal practitioner, the transferable skills he's picked up from his time in the polar regions, how other in-house lawyers can craft their own personal adventures, realising one's sense of self, and the importance of being kind and creative.

A large stockpile of the potentially explosive ammonium nitrate is being stored in the small Waikato town of Te Kowhai, without resource consent. Ammonium nitrate is the chemical that caused a major explosion in Beirut in 2020, when it was stored incorrectly. While the risk of it exploding has been assessed as "low", the storage of up to 349 tonnes of the material has alarmed the local community. Within just two kilometres of the site is a school, a childcare centre and a retirement village. It's also very close to a major gas pipeline. The Waikato Times has reported the material is owned by Australian company Orica, but is transported and stored in New Zealand by Move Logistics. It's now stored on a property owned by local company The Lummys Block Limited -- without resource consent -- the application has since been lodged and is sitting with the Waikato District Council. Kathryn speaks with Brian Palmer, chair of the Te Kowhai Community Group and Stephen Darby who owns the local childcare centre.

What defines a musical game? Videogames, and RPGs especially, are known for using a musical score to enhance the experience, so what parameters really define "musical games" and make their use of music especially notable? Today, our Rhythm panel is going on a journey to look at a wide variety of music that we feel fits into this category to tease out some of those important factors that mark a truly musical game. A game probably doesn't have to take place in the mind of an ailing composer from our reality and include many facts about his life to be considered a musical game, but it also doesn't hurt. We also consider musical gameplay elements, games with musician characters, and interactive music in games.Featuring: Hilary Andreff, Patrick Gann, Wes Iliff, Jono Logan; Edited by Jono LoganLinks for this episode YouTube: EXEC_PAJA/.#Orica extracting (Ar tonelico) - English lyrics YouTube: Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore - Dream☆Catcher music video Tracklist0:11:37 - A Pirate I Was Meant to Be (Michael Land) - The Curse of Monkey Island0:16:08 - The Overture 2 (Pytor Illyich Tchaikovsky) - LOOM: Game Soundtrack0:39:57 - Difficult Love Puzzle (Tenpei Sato, vocal Kaoru Fujino) - Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure0:44:40 - Dream☆Catcher (KOH) - Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE1:00:32 - Train Train (Lynda Carter, John Jarvis & Kerry Marx) - Fallout 41:02:42 - Setting Sail, Coming Home (Darren Korb) - Bastion1:24:06 - Your truth is my false (Motoi Sakuraba) - Eternal Sonata1:27:16 - EXEC_PAJA/.#Orica (comp/arr/vocal Akiko Shikata) - Ar tonelico: Melody of Elemia2:00:16 - Pat's Bonus Track!Album links for places to buy, stream, and more are available in our post on RPGFan.Get in Touch:RPGFan.comRPGFan ShopEmail us: music@rpgfan.comTwitter: @rpgfancomInstagram: @rpgfancomFacebook: rpgfancomTwitch: rpgfancom
