In recent episodes of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we’ve interviewed some of the world’s biggest financial and technology companies about how they’re approaching sustainability and the energy transition. But how is the energy industry thinking about these topics — including the world’s largest fossil fuel companies?
To answer that question, we traveled to Houston, Texas, to cover the annual CERAWeek conference hosted by S&P Global — an event informally known as the ‘Super Bowl’ of the energy industry. In today’s episode we sit down on the sidelines of CERAWeek with Matt Kolesar, Chief Environmental Scientist at ExxonMobil. US-based ExxonMobil is one of the largest publicly traded oil and gas companies in the world, with operations in more than 60 countries and a market cap of more than $490 billion.
Matt explains the company’s sustainability strategy and approach to the energy transition. Stay tuned for future episodes, where we’ll bring you more interviews with stakeholders across the energy value chain.
