How the UK is tackling the "alphabet soup" of sustainability disclosures
Ahead of London Climate Action Week, we're exploring how the UK is adopting International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) standards. This episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast is the latest in our ongoing series about global ISSB adoption. Sustainability-related reporting is well established in the UK, and in today's episode we speak to Sally Duckworth, Chair of the UK Sustainability Disclosure Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). The TAC was formed to provide recommendations to the UK government on adoption of the ISSB standards. "We want to eliminate what's often called the 'alphabet soup' of fragmented reporting by promoting consistency and comparability," Sally tells us.<span class="EOP SCXW65938818 BCX0" data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":fals

Live in London: How sustainability is evolving into a broader conversation about resilience
Earlier this year, we took the show on the road for our first episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast recorded live in London. We sat down in front of an audience with three guests to understand the direction of travel for sustainability, climate and the energy transition: What has changed in 2026, where are the challenges and where are the opportunities? Today, we're bringing you highlights from that April 29 event. Sonja Gibbs, who is Managing Director of Global Markets and Policy at the Institute of International Finance (IIF), explains how sustainability is evolving into a broader conversation about business resilience that includes topics as wide-ranging as climate adaptation, innovation, infrastructure and energy security. The IIF is a global network of financial institutions, and Sonja says that for many <span class= "Norma

CSO Insights: How food and beverage giant PepsiCo uses AI for its 'era of resilience'
In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we talk to PepsiCo to understand how one of the world's biggest food and beverage companies is building resilient food systems. PepsiCo products are sold in more than 200 countries and territories, and Executive Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer Jim Andrew explains how the company works with its global farmer network to create long-term value. This is a challenge in a food system facing increasing stress from climate change, resource constraints and geopolitical uncertainty. "All these things are hitting — food, water, energy, supply chains — all at once. And so what used to be the occasional rare disruption now really shows up all the time," Jim says. "So what we're preparing for here at PepsiCo is what I call the 'era of resilience.'" Jim says <

How companies are balancing AI data center energy demand and sustainability
The rapid expansion of AI-driven data centers is putting unprecedented pressure on energy supply, emissions and water availability. At the start of 2026, S&P Global named AI and data center growth as a top sustainability trend to watch, and it was a dominant theme at both Climate Week Zurich and CERAWeek 2026 in Houston, where the conference title was "Convergence and Competition." In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we explore how the tech and energy industries are converging to meet the growing power demands of AI while also protecting the planet and local communities. In three interviews from the sidelines of CERAWeek, we ask how companies can deliver reliable energy to power AI without sidelining affordability, emissions, water and community concerns. Arshad Mansoor, President and CEO of the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), explains how the research organization is convening<span class

Why Canadian Sustainability Standards Board Chair calls sustainability disclosures "table stakes"
In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we're examining global uptake of standards created by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). The ISSB launched in 2021 to create standardized sustainability reporting rules, establishing its first two standards in 2023. Since then, around 40 jurisdictions have either adopted ISSB standards or are planning to adopt them in future. Canada was one of the early adopters, and in today's episode we speak to Wendy Berman, Chair of the Canadian Sustainability Standards Board (CSSB), which formed in 2022. Wendy explains the challenges Canadian companies face in adopting sustainability standards in a tense geopolitical environment and<span class= "NormalTextRun S

Climate Week Zurich: World Meteorological Organization leader on the need for science, data and collaboration
All Things Sustainable is the official podcast of the inaugural Climate Week Zurich taking place May 4-9, and all week we've brought you special daily episodes from Zurich. In our final episode of the week, we're talking to Celeste Saulo, Secretary-General of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The WMO is a specialized agency of the United Nations based in Geneva, Switzerland, that facilitates worldwide cooperation on monitoring and predicting changes in weather, climate, water and other environmental conditions. Celeste says Climate Week Zurich is helping raise awareness of the need to build climate resilience in the public and private sectors through collaboration and data sharing. "If we speak about food security, you speak about climate; if you speak about water security, you speak about climate; if you speak about transportation and logistics and security associated with aviation or marine operations, you're also speaking about weather and climate," Celeste says. "The quality of climate information is not guaranteed unless every player plays an active role." Celeste explains how the WMO is building consensus at a time when geopolitical tensions are high. <span class= "EOP Selected SCXW192517112 BCX0" data-ccp-props= "{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"201341983":0,"

Climate Week Zurich: How one of the world's largest insurers is building climate resilience
All Things Sustainable is the official podcast of the inaugural Climate Week Zurich taking place May 4-9, and all week we're bringing you special daily episodes from Zurich. In our third episode of the week, we're talking to Zurich Insurance Chief Sustainability Officer Linda Freiner. Zurich Insurance is one of the world's largest insurers, serving over 82 million customers in more than 200 countries and territories across multiple types of insurance, including property & casualty and life insurance. Linda explains how the insurance industry is evolving to address climate change. She says climate mitigation and adaptation are both needed to build systemic resilience amid compounding global crises. "You can no longer look at climate risk on its own, or geopolitical risk on its own, or social risk on its own. They're all interconnected and they're all compounding," Linda says. "As an insurance company, it's our job to help our customers navigate those risks and build the right resilience measures in place to be able to withstand the shocks." This interview is the latest installment in our CSO Insights podcast series, where we talk to Chief Sustainability Officers around the world about how they're navigating the sustainability landscape. Linda says the CSO role has "changed tremendously" in recent years. Now, she says, "it's about the focus on execution. We have set all the big commitments. We have put out the plans."<span class= "NormalTextRun SCXW1429798
