In this episode, Sarah sits down with Melissa Kopolow, the VP of Sustainability at The Albright Stonebridge Group. Building on the conversations from Davos, Melissa brings a rich perspective on the similarities and differences between the established framework of the SDGs and the emerging framework of ESG. Set in the context of the annual UN Climate Summit, this conversation looks at the need for ESG to be more than a framework on climate and how philanthropy has the chance to lead on climate solutions if willing to take more bold action. 

In this special series, co-host Sarah Howard takes the Track Two Podcast on the road doing interviews with leaders from various industries about this fast-growing term: ESG. It was a headline topic at the annual gathering, as climate change and social issues continue to rise on the agenda of leadership conversations everywhere.

In this episode, Sarah sits down with Jacques-Philippe Piverger, founder and CEO of Good Light Capital.  This brings the series to one of the sectors driving much of the proliferation of ESG. They go a little deeper into understanding what ESG means, from the perspective of investment analysis. For example, in a survey done earlier this year, Gallup polled investors on their understanding of and attitudes toward ESG frameworks in their investment decisions. They found that nearly 50% of investors are interested in sustainable investing, although 1 in 4 admitted to knowing much about it. Jacques-Philippe understands where the market is headed and his firm is providing investors with opportunities to have the kind of impact they want. 

This is the final episode in this special Davos series.
