Energy Central Power Perspectives™ Podcast

In recent years, ESG principles have shifted drastically from a nebulous concept that only some Boards of Directors were considering, to a headline-grabbing story being pushed by customers, investors, and even regulators. ESG, or Environmental, Social, and Governance goals ensure a company fully accounts for the impact of its actions when making decisions. While ESG has quickly become a crucial realm in the utility industry, many stakeholders remain uncertain or behind the curve when it comes to embracing the ESG imperative. In this episode of the Energy Central Power Perspectives Podcast, Damien Quentin, the ESG Practice Lead at Copperleaf shares with podcast host Jason Price and producer Matt Chester his insights on the importance of ESG in utilities, how value-based decision-making enables better risk management and enterprise asset management, and how utilities are addressing equity and resilience in their ESG strategies. Listen in to discover how utilities can adapt and thrive in a changing landscape by embracing ESG principles that are shaping the future of the energy sector.
