Nethra Rajendran and Cecilia Rios
About this episode

We are back this month with an episode on transparency. Historically, businesses have kept a lot of information guarded, but when it comes to sustainability, more companies are using transparency to make decisions, gain trust, and engage with their consumers, investors, and other key stakeholders.

After an introduction going over the basics of all things sustainability and transparency with a focus on corporate transparency, we have TWO expert guests:

  • Kathy Mulvey, Accountability Campaign Director, Climate & Energy Program, at the Union of Concerned Scientists

  • Dan Saccardi, Program Director, Company Network at Ceres

We hope this episode will “clear up” any questions you have about why transparency is an important part of sustainability at the corporate level!
