Are businesses leaders or laggards in the energy transition?

Despite attempts by some to paint clean energy and net zero as anti-business and anti-growth, business leaders themselves are broadly supportive of the shift and see it as a place of economic opportunity.

This week our host Sulaiman Ilyas-Jarrett sits down with Rachel Solomon Williams, CEO of the Aldersgate Group, who work directly with leading businesses such as IKEA,Tesco and Aviva to affect positive change on the ground.

They discuss the unique position of companies to deploy changes quickly and the potential to save costs alongside emissions, as well as the real short-term challenges of competing with those that have lower environmental standards and the limits of businesses given the profit motive.
