In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we explore how companies are moving from setting sustainability-related targets to figuring out how to reach those goals. A common refrain we heard at the annual GreenBiz conference in Phoenix, Arizona last week was: "What will it take?"
For example, what will it take for companies to achieve net-zero goals and decarbonize supply chains — including those involved in transporting materials and products?
We explore this topic with guests from several sectors. To understand the decarbonization challenges the freight and maritime shipping industry faces, we sit down with Sarah Mouriño, Senior Director of Sustainability for the Americas at DP World, one of the world's largest port operators. Sarah, who has more than two decades experience in the industry, tells us decarbonization is the "number one thing on every sustainability agenda for every major company” with a freight or maritime operation.
Other guests in this episode include:
