Send us a textIn this eye-opening episode, we delve into the contrasting approaches to water treatment in European domestic heating systems for corrosion prevention. While the UK predominantly champions chemical inhibitor solutions under the EN BS 7593 standard, many European nations embrace a wider range of methods. Surprisingly, some UK chemical inhibitor manufacturers who exclusively promote their products domestically readily offer non-chemical alternatives on the continent. Host Nathan interviews Ricky Prescott from Thoroughflush, who sheds light on the shortcomings of the BS 7593 standard. Ricky argues that manufacturers of chemical inhibitors often fail to provide sufficient information to accurately test heating systems and determine if adequate inhibitor levels are present. Adding to the complexity, while some of the UK's leading heating engineers favor the German VDI 2035 standard, the chemical water treatment group within the Heating and Hot Water Industry Council (HHIC) appears resistant to discussing or acknowledging these alternative European approaches.This season is being sponsored by PrimaryPro a professional pipe insulation systemSupport the showLearn more about heat pump heating by followingNathan on Linkedin, Twitter and BlueSky

A blackout struck New York City and a large part of the U.S. northeast in 2003. It happened only two years after 9/11. How could we not first wonder if it was terrorism. I had been at work at the time. After waiting maybe an hour, we all walked down the stairs and went home. Phones worked for a while, so I called the woman I was dating and coordinated to meet at her place. I ended up hitch-hiking a ride there.The people who gave me the ride were having a great time. In a big van, they were picking up people here and there, navigating intersections with no traffic lights. We all had a great time, which continued when I reached my girlfriend's place. Later I heard of people dancing around bonfires and so on.For months afterward, when we saw someone we hadn't seen since the blackout, we asked each other's blackout experience. I soon noticed that nearly everyone enjoyed themselves.At first I thought it odd, since we suspected terrorism at first. After a while, I realized technology wasn't the unalloyed good I had thought it was. I started telling friends I was thinking about taking time off from things that used power regularly. One person responded, "You know, orthodox Jews have been taking time off from technology every week for thousands of years."Martin Doblmeier returns for a second conversation to talk about his latest movie, Sabbath, which explores the day of rest in culture. The movie explores several groups each of Protestants, Jews, Catholics, Muslims, and secular communities. It covers history, stories, motivations, and many relevant viewpoints.You'll hear me in the conversation considering how to manifest and explore this concept in my like. I predict you'll consider bringing more sabbath to your life. Since recording the conversation, I've been thinking about how to manifest some regular rest in my life, seeing if I can bring others in on it.Whether you act or not, you'll appreciate how Martin's movie provokes introspection. How did most cultures lose this day of rest? At what cost did we lose it? Do we want to restore it?Watch Sabbath onlineMartin's site: Journey FilmsUpcoming screenings and eventsEducational materials, including many thought-provoking and conversation-provoking questions and discussion points Hosted on Acast.

Zukunft ist die Gestaltung von Rahmenbedingungen in Politik, Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft heute, damit unsere Welt auch in Zukunft lebenswert ist – so sieht Michael Kundels Definition von Zukunft aus. Mit diesem Leitsatz gestaltet der Vorstandsvorsitzende nicht nur die unternehmerische Zukunft der Renolit SE, sondern lebt auch privat diesen Grundsatz. In der Episode von Zukunftszeichen Podcast gibt Michael im Gespräch mit Stefan Einblicke in das Familienunternehmen Renolit und wie dessen Zukunft als Kunststoffverarbeiter aussieht. Circular Economy – ein Begriff, der für Renolit nicht nur Buzzword, sondern gelebte Realität ist. Dabei setzt Michael nicht nur auf Innovationen innerhalb des Unternehmens, sondern geht auch Kooperationen mit StartUps ein. Dabei ist das Know-How von Renolit mit dem Disruptionswillen von StartUps eine Kombination, die in den Augen von Michael eine Entwicklungsgeschwindigkeit ermöglichen, die ohne ein solches Joint Venture nicht möglich wäre. Überhaupt ist Michael der Überzeugung, dass es ganzheitlich, institutions- und länderübergreifende Absprachen braucht, um die Welt nachhaltiger im Sinne der zirkulären Wirtschaft zu gestalten. Dazu passen auch die Unternehmensmission von Renolit: Re:think Sustainablity, die für eine Ressourcenschonung, den Rückgang von Emissionen und der Vermeidung von Umweltverschmutzung durch Kunststoffe steht. Wichtig für Michael ist dabei, die Mission auch mit Leben zu füllen. Mit seinen Vorstandskollegen lebt Michael den Grundsatz: Tu das, was du sagst. So ist es für ihn eminent wichtig, nicht nur Ziele und Missionen zu formulieren, sondern diese auch konsequent in der Strategie zu definieren und umzusetzen. Dadurch entsteht ein Purpose, der in Zeiten von Fachkräftemangel für aktuelle und neue Mitarbeitende von Renolit ein wichtiges Differnzierungsmerkmal im Wettbewerb zu anderen Unternehmen ist. Daneben bietet Renolit von der Ferienbetreuung für Kinder bis zur (akademischen) Weiterbildung eine Vielzahl an Leistungen an, um Mitarbeitende langfristig zu binden. Stefan und Michael sprechen im Podcast über die Transformation des Geschäftsmodells oder die Etablierung von neuen Geschäftsmodellen, die durch die zunehmende Kreislaufwirtschaft entstehen. Für Michael ist die aktuelle zunehmende Geschwindigkeit bei technologischen Entwicklungen dabei ein Hilfsmittel, wie man beispielsweise zusammenhangslose Daten durch künstliche Intelligenz strukturieren und damit mehrwertstiftend nutzbar machen kann. Wichtig dabei aber immer: das Zusammenspiel zwischen Mensch und Technik. Nach Michaels Ansicht kann das nur im Zusammenspiel erfolgreich sein. Kurzum: Der Podcast bietet einen sehr spannenden und authentischen Blick in das Familienunternehmen Renolit und wie Michael mit seinen Kolleg:innen dessen Zukunft gestalten will. Jetzt reinhören!

Humans in the Anthropocene are currently focusing on the consequences of their own innovation achievements. With a 50% share of global CO2 emissions, the construction industry plays a decisive role, and the industry is increasingly turning its attention to the embodied energy determined in construction and no longer just to the emissions from its use. It is clear that the need for innovation in this sector is immense, and the role of architecture is being redefined accordingly. Martin Pauli, Head of Global Circular Economy Services at Arup, discusses with Danish architect Dorte Mandrup how the architecture industry needs to reposition itself in light of these new challenges that the sector is facing. Our guest, renowned architect Dorte Mandrup, wants to use her projects to move the industry toward a more conscious approach to sustainability. She calls for more international knowledge transfer and greater specialization in architectural practices - and a caring eye for context and detail.

Based on what your social and news feeds look like, Earth month (April) can conjure up tough emotions of distress and hopelessness. What else would we expect when the dates meant to honor the earth are swallowed up by the very true messaging that we're on course for climate disaster within our lifetime?But, without sweeping this crisis under the rug, without forgetting the scary things, like corporations' majority responsibility for Earth destruction, I'd like to create space to focus on the good. I want to focus on how wonderful it is to be able to love our Earth mother through small, sustainable acts of kindness, and feeling like we are enough so that we may be of better service to the outer world.Visit our website for the show notes and more!

If you listened to our bonus episode of the ESG Insider podcast last week, you know we were on the ground attending GreenBiz, one of the largest sustainability conferences in the U.S. that brought together about 1,300 sustainability professionals. A big theme we heard at the event is that sustainability is accelerating rapidly — and that change is especially pronounced in the evolving landscape for standard-setting bodies and disclosure regulations. At the conference, we sat down with one of those standard setters to discuss the big developments afoot: Katie Schmitz Eulitt, Director of Investor Relationships at the Value Reporting Foundation, formerly the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board, or SASB. "There's excitement about the harmonization that is happening in this space and maybe a little frustration about, 'well, why can't we just get it done now — why do we have to wait?'" Katie says. "But I think we've come so far so fast that some of us are kind of pinching ourselves." We also talk with Kristen Sullivan, who is Sustainability and ESG Services Leader at Deloitte. Kristen moderated a panel at the conference titled "The SEC Homes in on ESG," and in the episode she tells us what to expect in the near term from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission when it comes to climate and human capital management disclosure rules. "It's a matter of when, not if, the regulators are really putting that definition around disclosure expectations," Kristen tells us. And to hear what all these changes look like in practice for companies, we sat down with Jaclyn Allen, Director of Sustainability at fashion company Guess. "The investor community is really concerned about climate, and they want to know that the company that they're investing in has a long-term view for the business as a whole," she says. S&P Global Sustainable1 was a sponsor of the GreenBiz conference. Listen to the bonus episode, featuring an interview with GreenBiz Group Chariman and Co-Founder Joel Makower: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bonus-episode-a-sneak-peek-at-greenbiz-one-of/id1475521006?i=1000551417128 We'd love to hear from you.

In this bonus episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we're taking you on the road to the big U.S. sustainability conference GreenBiz22. We sit down with Joel Makower, who is Chairman and Co-Founder of GreenBiz Group, which produces the three-day event bringing together sustainability professionals from many of the largest U.S. companies. The event is an opportunity to take the pulse of the corporate world on topics ranging from net zero to biodiversity to social equity. As Joel tells us in the interview, it's also a chance to hear how a diverse group of companies across sectors are handling the explosive growth in the ESG movement. "All of a sudden, this function within companies that used to be kind of a backwater — sustainability — is now sitting there on Wall Street and sitting there in the boardroom in some fashion in most companies, and that's created a whole new dynamic. So it's a very exciting moment," Joel says. It's also a "be careful what you wish for" moment, Joel says: "This is the moment where all of a sudden, everybody wants a piece of you." Tune in to the podcast next week for more interviews on the ground at the conference. We'd love to hear from you.

We will be exploring the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical (film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression. I am interested in the political and social ramifications of art on society, specifically movements supported by these artists and their forebearers. It is my claim that the artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay! 1. Sis.

The EU is working to reform its Non-Financial Reporting Directive, regulation introduced in 2014 requiring large companies to report on environmental and social issues, such as the impact of climate change on their business and the diversity of its board. The proposed new rules, called the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), would expand the reporting requirements and drastically increase the number of companies disclosing this information. CSRD would also make auditing of companies' sustainability reports obligatory. Corporations, regulators and investors increasingly recognize that environmental, social and governance risks need to be accounted for alongside financial risks when valuing a company. Investors are seeking consistent data and standards to guide them in their investment decisions around ESG factors. In this episode, we speak to Saskia Slomp, CEO of European Financial Reporting Advisory Group, or EFRAG, which advises the EU on the use of accounting standards within the bloc and which was asked by the European Commission, the EU's executive arm, to develop proposals for the new directive. “The development of mandatory common sustainability reporting standards is necessary to progress to a situation in which sustainability information has a status comparable to that of financial information,” she tells us. “So many companies receive additional information requests for sustainability information from stakeholders."

In this episode of Disruptive Conversations, I speak with Sarah Kaplan (PhD). Sarah is an innovation scholar at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management. She has recently written the book The 360˚ Corporation. Today, Sarah works to explore how ideas from innovation can be applied in a way that helps to create a world of social and economic justice. Although much of her work focuses on gender equality, it is clear Sarah takes an intersectional approach to her work.Here are some of my many takeaways from this conversations.Transformation is not something you can do on the side.For many years Sarah thought of her innovation/academic work was her day job while her concerns for gender equity and other social issues was something she did on the side. One day she woke up and realized she had been told the story that the Women’s Liberation Movement had fixed everything. Women would not face barriers brought about by patriarchy. Yet, when she looked around the world, her students and women around her were still facing the same issues that the Women’s Liberation Movement was supposed to have addressed. She realized that 30 years later, the conversation had not changed. It was in this “ah moment” she decided that her two worlds needed to collide. Her transformational work was no longer something she could do part-time. Words echoed by Zaid Hassan a past guest on the podcast you can listen to him in episode 34, The Tragedy of Strategic Planning.Change the conversation.The thesis for this podcast has always been, if we are to transform organizations, we need to change the conversation. It is always wonderful to hear your guest make similar comments. For Sarah, the conversation about gender equity has focused on approaches like unconscious bias training. These approaches focus on the individual and not the systems that maintain the status quo. For example, many of the dominant approaches focus notions like women do not negotiate or do not negotiate well. These ideas ignore that women who negotiate are often thought to be selfish, unreasonable or generally unpleasant. People do not receive negotiations from men in the same way they receive them from women. To change the status quo, we need to transform the conversations. As a result, Sarah’s work focuses not on changing the individual, but on changing the context.We ignore the social wake companies create.It is always interesting to me to learn my guest’s point of entry into the work they do. As a business and innovation scholar who has also been interested in the rise and fall of empires, it is not surprising that she came to the conclusion that we are not going to change the world if we do not transform business. For Sarah, if we are to create a fair and equitable world, we need to transform businesses from within. In this episode, we had an insightful discussion on the idea that we shouldn’t need a term like social entrepreneur. All businesses are social or create social outcomes. What we tend to do is ignore the social wake that companies create. Sarah’s book, The 360˚ Corporation, explores the tradeoffs companies make. In the book, she makes a compelling case for how companies need to approach these tradeoffs. The point that stood out for me is that companies often need to change their business model if they are going to reduce the wake they create in the world. This is not an easy proposition, yet Sarah’s does make a compelling argument by juxtaposing two very different companies, Walmart and Nike. One of the surprising things about her book is the way in which she is able to help the reader understand the tensions these companies face and how their business models can often constrain their choices. Focusing on the individual has a recoil effect.I recently had a conversation with a very senior executive who wanted to implement mandatory anti-blackness training. In this episode, Sarah highlights what the research says about these types of mandatory programs and how they tend to have a recoil or backlash effect. For example, when people are mandated to attend these programs, they tend to harden or double down on their views. Additionally, these kinds of programs can also make people hyper-aware of marginalized groups. Often their response can be to tokenize or other the very groups we are trying to help. These approaches although well-intentioned can have ill effects when not well thought out.Two tangible ideas from the episode:Stop focusing on the individual if your goal is to create change. Get rid of the mindset that we have to fix individuals.Identify the social structures and systems that create the outcomes you wish to change.Transformation is about changing ourselves and the environment.So much of the self-help literature focuses on changing yourself. Ralph Stacey, one of my favorite scholars in writing about transformation, says “entities are forming patterns of interactions and at the same time, that they are being formed by these patterns of interactions”. When we focus on the individual, we focus on the first part of his quote and ignore that “entities are being formed by these patterns of interactions”. Much of the dominant discourse focuses too much on the individual and ignores the structures. Perhaps if you take anything from this episode, it is that although there are times when paying attention to the individual can make a difference, it is perhaps my fruitful to pay attention to the structures and systems in which that individual resides. Regardless of how much the individual changes, the change will not happen until the context in which they reside also changes. For more similar ideas listen to Episode 70 with Kate Sutherland, Dismantling the myth of the lone wolf.For more information about Sarah Kaplan’s (PhD) work you can visit the sites below:GATE website: www.gendereconomy.orgGATE explainers: https://www.gendereconomy.org/explainers/Sarah Kaplan’s website: https://sarahkaplan.info

David Grayson has worked in Corporate Responsibility before there was a term for it. As a former Proctor and Gamble employee, he has taken his skills from that world and applied to the third sector. Today he is an author, educator, and consultant. In this episode, David talks about how Corporate Social responsibility needs to move away from a lens of mitigating risk, to one of opportunity maximization.In this episode, he referenced a quote from Peter Drucker in which he said, “every global problem and social issue is a business opportunity in disguise”. That David describes as an aha moment for him. For him, he sees the Sustainable Development Goals as a purchase order from the future. The Business and Development Commission has argued that the SDG’s represent a 12 Trillion dollar opportunity.For him, referencing the work of Don Tapscott, businesses are going to have to get naked and when they do they will need to be buff. We are entering into an era of ultra-transparency. Companies will have to improve the standards of ethical and sustainable impact. For businesses who wish to generate returns for their shareholders, they are going to need to also think about their stakeholders.In his most recent book All In The Future of Business Leadership, he makes the case that business has a growing role to play in sustainable development. They can no longer be halfhearted in their efforts around sustainability. They can no longer be diffident. Business needs to go All In around five critical interlinking attributes:They need a purpose:Businesses need to demonstrate how they create value for themselves and for society.They need a comprehensive plan:A plan that includes the entirety of their business. For example, their employees, their value chain and all the stakeholders within their ecosystem.Sustainable culture:They need to develop a culture that engages its employees, is open to ideas from all parts of the business ecosystem. Their culture needs to forefront innovation.They need to be able to collaborate with others business and other parts of society.Businesses in today’s world need to learn how to work with, or collaborate with, people they would not usually collaborate with. They need to cross the aisle and think about innovative partnerships that meet the needs of SDG's.Speaking out and Speaking up.Businesses need to speak up for issues that are unfair and unjust. No longer can they remain neutral on these issues.I hope you enjoyed this episode of disruptive conversations with David Grayson.You can find David at: https://davidgrayson.net/

John Robinson is a sustainability professor at the University of Toronto and the Copenhagen Business School. In this episode, he and explore his perspectives on sustainability and the wonderful insight has gained after a lifetime of trying to disrupt sectors and systems.For John, the big challenges in sustainability are not technical or economic. Although they may appear so, his experience has taught him that many of the barriers to sustainability are actually institutionally mixed with some attitudinal. For him, it is about getting deep into the organizations and institutions and changing their internal ways of operating. What I would call their practices.A point that stood out for me was when John made the case for transformational change. He pointed out that if the world is indeed complex, then there is no way for us to predict the future. Our solutions need to a portfolio of adaptive interventions. They need to take an approach that responds well to emergence. He went to further argue that there is no such thing as incremental change. All future we can imagine are transformational and as a result, we need to identify adaptive solutions.He went on to use a beautiful metaphor that makes a distinction between the sailboat and the speedboat. The speedboat just powers across the water and creates ripples as it moves along. The sailboat, on the other hand, needs to wait for the right conditions. We are using the energy of the system without degrading it. The approach is to use energies in the system like culture and wind energy to navigate through the world. I found it to be a very powerful metaphor within the context of change and disruption.In his framing, John sees leadership as enabling people throughout the system to build a bigger brighter future. Most interestingly, John has five metaphors for change:Needle in the groove.Many of our systems are path dependent, they are like a needle moving along a groove. If we are to change things, we need a new path. You need to lift the needle and put it on a new path while being fully aware that it can fall back onto its old path. Brenda Zimmerman would call this snapback. So if you are going to move the needle, after you move it, you need to hold it there.Plate spinningWhen John worked at the University of British Columbia, they were trying to build a sustainable building. He noticed that there were nine offices on campus who could stop the project. None of them could make the project happen, but any one of them could stop it from happening. They could not make it happen because that was not their job, but it was their job to stop it from happening so they had to visit each office and keep them onboard. He had to keep the plates spinning. BricklayingWhen working with groups you need to show progress is being made. You need to show folks the new bricks that have been laid. At each meeting, you need to demonstrate progress.MosaicWhen working on these kinds of projects you are often working with people who have never worked together before. You need to be very the glue that brings it all together. Show everyone how they are part of a larger picture. You have to get them to communicate in a way that creates a mosaic.WallflowerThis metaphor refers to the people who are standing on the wall. Those people who support and like the idea but are standing on the edge, standing against the wall looking in at the dance. You have to get these people onto the dancefloor pull up their sleeves and get to work.Perhaps the most powerful reminder from John is that it is amazing how much you can get done if you don’t care who gets the credit. Hope you enjoy this episode of the podcast.

Growing North is a disruptive social venture. They are also a finalist in the Google.org Impact Challenge. Growing North has the seeds of disruption and reminds me of the work of Wangari Maathai. Wangari Maathai was the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Maathai started a movement that encouraged women to plant trees as and approach to mitigating deforestation and food security within their communities. This grassroots group became a movement known as the Green Belt movement. What was remarkable about that story, was that it was framed as women planting trees, but the magic sauce was in the relationships that were formed when women came together. Planting together. When they were planting they would talk. They got to know each other. They built community. It was through these relationships that Maathai was able to mobilize women to contribute to democracy and fight for their rights.What Stefany Nieto and her team are doing in the North is similar to the Green Belt movement. On a practical level they are providing food for a community, but more importantly, they are providing a space that strengthens the social fabric of the communities they are working in. This is why I voted for them in the Google.org Impact Challenge. Not only has Stefany and her team found a way to grow food in one of the most inhospitable conditions on the planet. They helping to strengthen the social fabric of the community. When the community builds a greenhouse together or grows food all year together, they are strengthening the social fabric of their community. This is the disruption. Most people only think of the technological side of disruption, but for Growing North strengthening the social fabric is a major part of the solution and their approach. The problem in the north of Canada is that perishable food is flown in and when it get to these communities is not only expensive but is often rotten. Stefany and her team are disrupting the supply chain and growing food in the north. Growing North’s mission is to sustainably provide fresh, locally grown produce to families living in Northern Canada, at a fraction of the current price, while positively contributing to the educational infrastructure and job market. The part I love the most about this project is not the elegant technological solution, but the social fabric that they are fostering around their technology. Stefany and her team have worked hard to help build a community around these igloo shaped greenhouses. They have developed coop programs so students can get credits while they learn how to grow food. They have focused on using their technology to bolster the social fabric in the community and that is why I voted for them in the Google.org Impact Challenge.
