In this episode of the EY Sustainability Matters podcast, listeners will explore what it means to work in sustainability by hearing from three unique perspectives: Janine Osborne, CEO of Sustainable Seas Trust and marine conservation advocate; Alice Ashpitel, Sustainability Lead at Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula 1 Team; and Benjamin Okpara, Senior Consultant in EY Climate Change and Sustainability Services. Together, they reveal how sustainability for them is more than a job - it's a mission that spans advocacy, business innovation and advisory work. Listeners will hear how Janine drives systemic change across Africa's blue economy, how Alice embeds sustainability in the fast-paced world of Formula 1 and how Ben helps organizations navigate complex environmental challenges. The episode delves into the realities of the field: balancing ambition with practical constraints, the importance of collaboration, and the personal motivations and experiences that keep these leaders moving forward. A career in sustainability can mean aligning personal purpose with professional action across advocacy, business and advisory roles. Resilience and adaptability are crucial skills for overcoming challenges and achieving long-term impact in the sustainability field. @2025 Ernst & Young LLP

Host Matt Bell explores the pivotal role of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) in shaping climate policy and investment strategies. He interviews four experts to get their insights. Joanna MacGregor, a senior advisor at the UN Climate Change (UNFCCC), explains how NDCs have evolved into comprehensive national climate plans that can drive economic growth and resilience. Antonina Scheer, Policy Fellow at the London School of Economics and Research Project Manager at the Transition Pathway Initiative Centre, discusses the challenges of financing climate action in emerging markets and introduces a tool that helps assess the credibility and ambition of NDCs. Pablo Carvajal, Director in the Climate Change and Sustainability Services team at EY UKI, shares insights from his work with governments and banks, highlighting the disconnect between policy targets and business implementation. Claudia Gollmeier, Managing Director at Colchester Global Investors, emphasizes the importance of investors considering NDCs and the rise of innovative financial instruments like sustainability-linked bonds. Together, the guests underscore the urgency of making NDCs investable and inclusive, involving businesses and investors in their design and execution. Despite delays in countries submitting their NDC plans, they remain optimistic about the potential of NDCs to unlock financial flows and accelerate the global transition to a low-carbon economy. NDCs are evolving into powerful economic tools that can drive growth, resilience and clean energy transitions. Businesses and investors play a crucial role in implementing NDCs, even though governments set the targets. Transparent information and innovative financial products are helping bridge the gap between climate ambition and investable action. @2025 Ernst & Young LLP

This year at the All Things Sustainable podcast, we've heard from many professionals who are uncertain about the future of climate action and sustainability and what's ahead for their careers.   We've also heard from numerous companies that continue to pursue their sustainability strategies and climate targets, even as some are talking about this less in public or changing the language they use to describe their efforts. In today's episode, we're asking: How are sustainability professionals weathering the storm?   We speak to three guests on the sidelines of an event the UN Global Compact Mexico hosted in June:   We talk with Jill Dumain, founding partner at the corporate sustainability consultancy Fractal CSOs and former Director of Global Environmental Strategy at outdoor clothing and gear company Patagonia. She says the current headwinds are a temporary setback.   "It's very easy for all of us to be myopic around this moment in time: ‘The sky is falling in. Everything is against us,'" Jill says. "But in the grand scheme of things over an arc of 15 or 20 years, this is a little bump in the road."  We sit down with Simon Mainwaring, Founder and CEO of strategic brand consultancy We First, who explains why the current moment presents an opportunity.   “We got out over our skis a little bit in terms of acronyms and making it a little bit wonkish and heady, and that not only alienated a lot of people ... it set ourselves up to be politicized in a way that didn't really serve the intent behind this work,” Simon tells us. "As a result, we're being forced to walk back some of that wonkish language and reframe our language to reach back and take people with us.”   And we hear from Christopher Lilholm, Global Head of ESG and Sustainability Services at DNV, an assurance and risk management firm.   Listen to our episode How companies in Latin America are embedding sustainability amid shifting dynamics  Listen to our episode ..   Explore how companies are approaching sustainability via S&P Global Sustainable1's Corporate Sustainability Assessment data.  The All Things Sustainable podcast from S&P Global will be an official media partner of The Nest Climate Campus during Climate Week NYC.

Despite the popular belief that slavery is a thing of the past, it is estimated that slavery affects around 50 million people globally. Human exploitation for labour and other forms of modern slavery are embedded within the supply chains of many of the products and services that we choose to consume regularly, whether we are buying clothes, electronics, or even a bar of chocolate. This is becoming an increasing concern for business as well. Mounting pressure from both legislative bodies that introduce new regulations and a new generation of consumers, who seem to be willing to pay more for sustainable products, signals a need for a change. In this episode of the EY Sustainability Matters podcast, host Bruno Sarda explores this topic further with Tom Veit, CEO of Asahi Global Procurement – a large Japanese consumer goods company, and Kate Skattang, Director in the Climate Change and Sustainability Services practice at EY Australia (Ernst & Young Services Pty Limited). The guests discuss the challenges posed by the issue of forced labor across global supply chains and the recent legislative changes that compel organizations to scrutinize their procurement. Tom and Kate share industry insights about how EY worked with Asahi Global to create their own human rights due diligence framework, emphasizing the importance of a top-down approach as well as putting people first across all areas of business processes. Protecting human rights is a fundamental responsibility for companies, as forced labor impacts tens of millions of people globally. Leadership commitment is essential for prioritizing human rights and implementing effective due diligence frameworks within organizations. Recent laws, such as modern slavery regulations in the UK and Australia, or Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), are driving companies to assess and proactively disclose human rights risks in their supply chains. © 2025 Ernst & Young LLP

In this episode of the EY Sustainability Matters podcast hosted by Bruno Sarda, the discussion centers around the vital collaboration between the public and private sectors in advancing sustainability efforts.

Bruno and Ruth discuss how recent political shifts in regions, such as the US and Europe, influence sustainability initiatives. Ruth also provides actionable insights, urging governments to actively participate in sustainable procurement and create stable policies that encourage green investments, while companies are encouraged to integrate long-term sustainability into their core strategies. 01:48 - Evolution of sustainability in the public sector through Ruth's career 05:50 - Understanding PPPs 08:06 - Examples of successful PPPs around the world and in the Asia-Pacific 16:16 – The impact of political shifts on sustainability 19:41 - Role of sustainability reporting standards 25:34 – Actionable insights for business and governments © 2025 Ernst & Young LLP

With the world in the midst of a global polycrisis, the New Economy Unit (NEU) — a global research group at the EY organization — was established to look at the key economic forces at play and the leading business practices needed to create a sustainable future. Host Bruno Sarda discusses the NEU and a bigger idea of regenerative business transformation it represents with Matt Bell, EY Global Leader, Climate Change and Sustainability Services, and Anastasia Roussou, EY Head of New Economy Research Unit, in London. Moreover, the discussion covers the work the NEU does with the activist and academic community, some of whom sit on the NEU advisory board. It also highlights the importance of taking a long-term view while not neglecting short-term objectives, and teases what the NEU will be exploring next. Please, read the full report “A new economy - Exploring the root causes of the polycrisis and the principles to unlock a sustainable future” on ey.com, or contact the New Economy Unit at neweconomyunit@uk.ey.com.

Vi står ikke bare i en krise, men i en polykrise - eller kanskje flere polykriser. Dette er premisset for EY-rapporten "A New Economy", som både diagnostiserer det ubærekraftige ved økonomien vår, men også peker ut mer bærekraftige retninger og omstillingene som må til for å komme seg dit. Vi tok derfor en prat med Hanne Thornam, leder i Norden for EYs Climate Change and Sustainability Services-enhet. Hanne, som er NHH alumna og som har vært på bærekraftsfeltet lenge, gir innblikk i rapporten, det underliggende problembildet og endringene hun ser i næringslivet hun arbeider med. Vi snakker om muligheten til å sove godt for de som har ansvar for bærekraft, graver oss ned i polikrisebildet og spør oss om det er mulig å ha håp i møte med disse problemene. Vi hopper fra sirkulærøkonomi til efficiency, Sveinung hisser seg opp over kjøpesentre i London, etter at Lars Jacob snakker opp high-end fashion-selskaper. Hanne fortviler over stadig brutte varmerekorder, vi får høre om hvordan endringsviljen til næringslivet ser ut fra EYs kontorer og diskuterer de store dominobrikkene som må falle for at ekte endring skal skje. Fremtiden vil uansett være radikal annerledes, enten på godt eller vondt, argumenterer Hanne for, og Lars Jacob jazzer over klimaforebygging kontra klimatilpasning. Vi argumenterer for at vi skal se på hva bedriftene gjør heller enn hva de sier, snakker om at det er trangere på bærekraftskontorene til EY om dagen, innser at vi er "original gamers" og Hanne hyller EU for å være endringsmotor på bærekraftsfeltet. Vi snakker om at bærekraftsmarkedet er i vekst, Sveinung nikker til Florida og vi gleder oss over færre klimaskeptikere på radio. Vi svinger innom degrowth, snakker om nye måter å leve på, spør Hanne om hva hun ville gjort hvis hun ikke jobbet i EY og snakker om hvor de store bærekraftskampene står. AI skjønner kanskje ikke hva Lars Jacob sier, men hadde den gjort det, ville den sagt at han sier altfor ofte i denne podcastserien at det er nok problemer til alle der ute. Hosted on Acast.

When we sit down to enjoy a meal, at home or in a restaurant, we're rarely aware of the environmental toll our food choices may take. However, the reality is that the journey from farm to table carries a significant environmental cost, often unseen but deeply impactful. This episode of the EY Sustainability Matters podcast delves deeper into the impact the global food system has on climate change, biodiversity and land use. It also explores how digital innovation can be leveraged to make food production more sustainable without sacrificing quality or taste. Join host Bruno Sarda, EY Americas Climate Change and Sustainability Services Leader, and Hanne Thornam, EY Nordics Head of Climate Change and Sustainability Services, as they interview two leaders in the food sustainability sector to uncover the challenges facing this industry and how technology is playing a key role in addressing them. Stephen Nolan, CEO of Nutritics and the 2022 EY Sustainability Entrepreneur of the Year, shares his insights on integrating sustainable practices within the food and hospitality industry. He debunks myths that equate sustainability with compromised quality or financial viability. Alongside him, Pete Statham, Head of Sustainability and Government Relations at Sysco GB, the world's leading broadline food distributor, discusses the practical applications of Nutritics' software in making large-scale, impactful changes. He shares how even a slight change in one menu item can multiply its positive or negative environmental effect, when delivered to thousands of customers across the world. The discussion closes on a hopeful note, with the guests discussing the vast potential and opportunity that exists within the market to create a more sustainable and resilient food industry for the future. © 2024 Ernst & Young LLP

In this episode of the EY Sustainability Matters podcast, the spotlight is turned to the often underestimated impact of the global building and materials industry, specifically cement production, on climate change. Despite playing a crucial role in our everyday lives, this industry's significant contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions and extensive energy and natural resource consumption is often overlooked. Host Bruno Sarda is joined by EY Latin America Climate Change and Sustainability Services leader Ruth Guevara and Vicente Saiso, Global Vice President of Sustainability at CEMEX, a global leader in the building materials industry, to talk about bold decarbonization strategies in such an important sector. Vicente acknowledges the cement industry's significant contribution to global emissions but highlights its efforts to reduce its environmental footprint, mentioning key strategies involving alternative fuels, use of waste materials, and adoption of innovative technologies such as hydrogen in production processes. He explains how, through this process to decarbonize, CEMEX has found business opportunities and cost benefits. Ruth and Vicente discuss the role of waste management in creating a circular economy in the cement industry. Vicente shares how CEMEX turned waste repurposing into a business opportunity by providing services to construction customers to manage their construction and demolition waste, which contributes significantly to global waste management. The episode then explores the innovative and ambitious technologies CEMEX is pursuing to help them play the opposite role and actually reduce environmental impact through cement production. Lastly, the guests shed light on how stakeholder support is crucial for companies' decarbonization initiatives.  © 2024 Ernst & Young LLP

As businesses prepare to meet the growing demand for transparency in emissions reporting, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is leading the way in setting global standards for climate target setting. In a recent episode of the EY Sustainability Matters podcast, host Bruno Sarda is joined by Alberto Carrillo Pineda, cofounder and CTO of the SBTi, and the two members of the EY Climate Change and Sustainability Services, Rob Bradley, Managing Director, Ernst & Young LLP, and Miranda Nayyar, Manager, Ernst & Young LLP. Setting, reporting and delivering on credible climate targets is becoming increasingly important as mandatory climate regulations come into effect. EY teams and the SBTi are collaborating in this area to support clients in committing to and setting science-based targets, and in developing decarbonization pathways to meet these goals. The EY organization and the SBTi recently co-authored research on the landscape of corporate measurement, reporting and verification related to science-based target setting, which will be available later on ey.com. Pineda emphasizes that the SBTi's focus is on setting the global standard for science-based climate targets to promote accountability and transparency. The speakers address the challenges companies face in climate target setting, particularly in gathering robust data and achieving set targets. The discussion also explores the impact of emerging climate disclosures, such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange commission (SEC), and how companies can prepare for these.  Looking to the future, Pineda is optimistic about the actual implementation, and notes that the SBTi standards will continue to evolve. Key takeaways include: The importance of setting climate targets has increased, and with more companies making public disclosures, issues of standardization have arisen. The SBTi is evolving standards to provide a globally standardized way to set climate targets and assess decarbonization progress. Setting of targets should go hand in hand with a robust decarbonization strategy to deliver on commitments. Key challenges are data collection and access to data across the value chain. The SBTi is moving toward a formal standard-setting structure and remains dedicated to continuously evolving and revising their standards to ensure alignment with the most up-to-date scientific research and evidence. © 2023 Ernst & Young LLP

The current global nonfinancial disclosures landscape is highly fragmented with a variety of different bodies evolving reporting frameworks. Will the new ISSB standards accelerate their convergence into mandatory globally accepted ESG reporting standards? In the final episode of the miniseries on disclosures, host Bruno Sarda is joined by Terence Jeyararetnam, EY Asia-Pacific Leader and Partner, Climate Change and Sustainability Services at Ernst & Young (the Partnership), and a member of the ISSB's Technical Reference Group. The discussion begins with the analysis of the different frameworks already in existence from the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and others. Many businesses have already adopted these, but there is pressure from regulators, investors and other stakeholders for frameworks to be standardized and mandated. Voluntary reporting is not taking businesses far enough to reduce their impact on climate and nature. The ISSB has an important role in accelerating this, and the hosts discuss whether the aggressive timeline for introducing the ISSB standards is realistic, what resistance is likely and what the prospects are for global acceptance. They also talk about how the new standards from the US SEC and the EU CSRD frameworks will fall into the picture. Companies should prepare for a potential new reality, where ESG reporting could be as rigorous and mandated as financial reporting. Bruno and Terence discuss the need for culture change and the key role of the CFO in gathering and managing the ESG data. © 2023 Ernst & Young LLP

In the second of our series-of-three Sustainability Matters podcasts dealing with environmental, social and governance (ESG) disclosures worldwide, our host Bruno Sarda focuses on biodiversity and the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD). He is joined by two members of the Taskforce: Marine de Bazelaire, Group Advisor on Natural Capital, HSBC, and Alexis Gazzo, Leader, Climate Change and Sustainability Services in France at EY & Associés The discussion begins with the urgent need to tackle the loss of biodiversity that threatens global economy. The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), which came out of the recent UN Biodiversity Conference, COP 15, aims to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030. As businesses and their stakeholders start to recognize biodiversity as a business priority, and begin to consider their impact and reliance on nature, there will be an increasing need for transparent natural capital disclosures to help achieve these global biodiversity targets. This is where the TNFD comes in. Marine discusses the importance of addressing nature-related issues and halting nature loss to achieve a net-zero future. She also highlights how financial institutions are becoming more engaged piloting the TNFD beta framework and gives a fascinating insight into how HSBC is preparing for future nature-based disclosures. Alexis talks about the TNFD and how it is seeking to address the challenges facing biodiversity, including how companies can begin to prepare for reporting. He discusses practical steps to take, and how EY teams can help companies identify areas of exposure to biodiversity-related risks. © 2023 Ernst & Young LLP

On this episode, Nate speaks with econometrician and sustainability researcher Gaya Herrington about her new book, Five Insights for Avoiding Global Collapse, a more in-depth and personal telling of her 2021 review of the Limits to Growth (LTG). More than 50 years after the original LTG report was released, the model trajectories remain both relevant and controversial, as we continue with the ‘business as usual' scenario, in which the LTG model resulted in collapse. Why are we stuck on this road and how are our growth based economic systems optimized to keep us there? Is it possible to shift our goals to a different path, away from growth, focused on the well-being of all life? Can we plan or mitigate the path to descent? About Gaya Herrington: Gaya is a Dutch econometrician, sustainability researcher, and women's rights activist. Gaya holds masters' degrees in both econometrics and sustainability studies. After becoming disillusioned by initially working in the financial sector Gaya became the executive director of StoereVrouwen, a non-profit Dutch women's movement promoting sustainable economic policies through activism. In 2014, Herrington became the Director of Sustainability Services of KPMG. Most recently, her study on the projections made in the 1972 Limits to Growth report was widely publicized internationally. She is currently Vice President Sustainability Research at Schneider Electric. For Show Notes and More visit: https://www.thegreatsimplification.com/episode/57-Gaya-Herrington
