Business leaders and corporations profess their dedication to sustainability and ESG metrics, but the question is: do they do it?

Christopher Marquis is the author of The Profiteers: How Business Privatizes Profits and Socializes Costs.

Christopher Marquis is the Sinyi Professor of Chinese Management at the University of Cambridge in the UK. This episode highlights interesting points from his books, such as Corporate Gaslighting, ESG as a toxic term, externalities, and more.

Welcome, some Business Perspectives, I am Juan Carlos Giraldo from Boston, United States. Palm oil is used in almost everything that is used in our homes, such as frying oil, margarine, butter, cookies, snacks, ice cream, soap, etc.

According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, the palm oil industry is a strategic product that contributes to society's economic and social growth.

However, companies have a lot of work to do in their relationship with biodiversity and palm oil, as clearing land for plantations is a significant driver of deforestation.

Today, in this episode, my guest is Michelle Desilets. Michelle is the executive director of the Orangutan Land Trust, which aims to find sustainable solutions for the long-term survival of the orangutan in the wild and raise consumer awareness to demand sustainable palm oil. We talked about biodiversity, corporations, sustainability, and palm oil.

En este nuevo episodio estaré analizando y compartiendo mis puntos de vista de un libro que terminé de leer. Este libro esta escrito por George Serafeim, titulado Purpose + Profit : How Business Can lift Up The World.

George Serafeim, es profesor de Administración de Empresas en Harvard Business School.

Un pilar fundamental que puede ayudar a las empresas a tomar decisiones más informadas y diseñar estrategias adecuadas para avanzar en su camino a la sostenibilidad es el Life Cycle Assessment o LCA.

El LCA nos va a ayudar a identificar el impacto ambiental en todo el proceso de vida de un producto.

En este episodio me acompaña desde Londres, el Reino Unido, Adrian Garyacochea, un analista que conoce muy bien el Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) con el cual conversamos acerca del concepto, beneficios, retos y etapas y mas acerca del LCA.

The energy transition faces many challenges, and mining companies play an essential role in this energy transition with the need for critical minerals. Mining companies have an excellent opportunity to contribute to the energy transition by providing many raw materials.

Implementing best practices in ESG (environmental, social, and governance) is crucial in this essential industry. The goal of having responsible mining also represents risks and challenges, but, at the same time, many opportunities today and in the years to come.

To discuss these topics, my guest in this episode is Melissa Barbanell.

Melissa Barbanell, is the Director of International Engagement US for the World Resources Institute, has over 20 years of experience in environmental policy, government affairs, climate advocacy, and responsible mining.

I read an interesting article published by Deloitte titled "Economic Uncertainty Puts Pressure on Sustainable Behavior Change." Discussing this article with some of my colleagues would be a great opportunity.

In this episode, my guests are from Denmark. Josephine Piplits is the founder and CEO of TripDoodler. Tripodoodler is a company with one purpose: to make it easier for travelers to make more sustainable choices through sustainability information for their travel choices.

My other guest is Douglas Marett, director of GH Sustainability. GH Sustainability provides companies worldwide with innovative results in sustainable solutions, climate change, energy, and the environment.

As a co-host, I have Giorgos Papagianakis from Athens, Greece. Giorgos is an assistant professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Peloponnese in Greece. He is interested in Corporate Sustainability and Innovation and studies why and how organizations incorporate socio-environmental perspectives into their decisions and strategies.

For this episode, we will analyze parts of the Deloitte article and provide our perspective on consumer behavior and interest, as well as how the economic aspect could be a factor in changing behavior toward the consumption of sustainable products.

As a previous note, this episode's participants, including myself, have no business relationship with Deloitte, and our opinions are based on our analysis of the article.
