Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S5 Ep.7 Has climate change moved from a specialist concern to a structural business issue?
Q: Given the momentum and frictions, how should institutions behave now, and what distinguishes responsible investment positioning from treating climate as a sideshow?
They argue for embedding climate considerations into processes while adopting a strategic, long-term stance, using investor influence to steer a smooth transition and to capitalize on opportunities, rather than treating climate as a peripheral concern.
S5 Ep.7 Has climate change moved from a specialist concern to a structural business issue?
Q: Claire, Jon, welcome. Having looked at climate change through all these different lenses in this series, what feels clearest to you now that perhaps wasn't clear before?

S5 Ep.6 From sustainability ambition to operational reality
Q: What advice would you give to someone at the start of their sustainability journey?
Build a solid network and understand the complexity of the task at hand, engaging with others in similar roles for support.
S5 Ep.6 From sustainability ambition to operational reality
Q: When did CSR and sustainability become something that genuinely shapes strategic decisions?

Q: What do you think investors most need to get right over the next five years?
