CONVERSATIONS ON CLIMATE

This episode's guest is Tom Gosling. After nearly twenty-five years at PriceWaterhouseCoopers as an expert on executive pay and board policy, he set out to create a new portfolio career with ESG at the centre.  
He is currently Executive Fellow in the Department of Finance at London Business School, and holds fellowships, advisory and consulting positions at a number of other major organisations, including the FCA and The Purposeful Company.  
Tom bridges high-level experience and deep thinking across a fascinating range of subjects, making this a conversation not to be missed.
Are CEOs really overpaid
Do ESG Targets work
Are stock markets too short-termist
Is climate change truly a 'shareholder value' concern
Do we need to get business out of politics - or the opposite
'...So what's absolutely clear is that individuals can't solve this by themselves. And I think it's wrong to entirely put the emphasis on individuals. And that is part of the reason why I haven't taken an excessively harsh approach to this...But on the other hand, I think the idea that Governments have got to solve this, say, let's just wait for governments to act is kind of for the birds as well. That's not how politics works...'

This episode's guests are Giorgia Granata and Eli Khrapko. After excelling as a haute couture fashion director  and air force pilot (who flew missions in Afghanistan) the journey to developing an eco-friendly intimate cleansing product may not have been an obvious one.
But Giorgia and Eli met whilst studying for their MBAs at London Business School and there they came up with the idea of  a truly biodegradable, organic alternative to wet wipes, and a herald of the next stage of green consumer goods.
wype, the brand, has gone from strength to strength, and Giorgia and Eli tell their story with refreshing frankness.
Join us for a feisty and sometimes controversial conversation with Chris Caldwell.
Whatever happened to the bidet? The secret – and misogynistic – history of wet wipes
Disposability, flushability and greenwashing: don’t believe the marketing hype!
Taking the fear out of feminine healthcare messaging
Why sustainable options will never hit cost parity (and that’s fine) 
Bootstrapping: the halo slips
Humour as taboo-busting tool
Should we laugh at climate change? Wow, did we disagree on this!
Is it time to give up on green marketing? (yep, another disagreement!)
Finding community and brand ambassadors in unlikely places
'...and so I thought, Is there a way that we can create an eco-friendly alternative that provides obviously the sensation that people are seeking, but without the kind of environmental damage? And so that's when we kind of came up with this natural gel that affords the same kind of moisture and cleansing power, but without the drawbacks that wet wipes are having on the environment.And our intuition has been proven right, not only by the performance of the company in time, but also by the fact that the problem has been increasing despite the efforts of the authorities, water companies and everyone else...So it's definitely something that we're very passionate about....'
'...I think there's absolutely a responsibility on businesses to have sustainable practices and to, you know, be thinking about that through every single part of the decision making...'

In the highly anticipated Episode 1 of Season 2 of Conversations on Climate, Christopher Caldwell, CEO, Entrepreneur, and host of the show, sits down with François Ortalo-Magné. Together, they discuss the latest insights and trends in business sustainability, how companies can thrive in a world increasingly concerned about the environment, and, of course the future of London Business School.
There’s only one person to talk to about the future of LBS: the Dean himself. Since the appointment of François Ortalo-Magné in 2017, he has guided the school through the pandemic, Black Lives Matter, and the explosion of ESG across the business world.
Today he is fully focussed on driving LBS into the future with the Forever Forward campaign, raising £200m to transform the school into a 21st-century powerhouse of research, innovation, diversity and world-beating education. 
This conversation turns into a one-hour masterclass in leadership, impact, and the art of balancing tradition with transformation. It’s a must listen for any business leader.
How can the school maximise this positive impact – and just what is ‘impact squared’? 
What roles do its research, teaching programmes, and alumni play in shaping the landscape of tomorrow? 
And how should this august institution hold true to its traditions of academic freedom, rigour and excellence, whilst adapting to a rapidly-changing world?
'... I tell our students, don't come if you're not curious and open to be inspired to a different perspective on your self in the world...'
'...the message of the moment is: ask yourself as you go on with the rest of your life, whom do you serve?'

This isn’t your father’s workplace anymore.
Not since the industrial revolution has the world of work undergone a such radical change, at such breakneck speed, as we are seeing today.
Technology, the pandemic and decarbonisation are completely re-writing the rules across every industry – and there will be blood.
So how can you – as a leader and in your own career – ride these changes? 
To find out, we turned to someone who has literally written the book on the future of work – Professor Lynda Gratton, LBS and WEF superstar and our guest on this episode of Conversations on Climate.
Lynda Gratton is Professor of Management Practice in Organisational Behaviour at London Business School, where she teaches the ever-popular ‘Future of Work’ and ‘Strategy in Transforming Companies’ programmes. 
Beyond academia, she is a Council chair at the World Economic Forum, founder of Strategy consultancy HSM Advisory, and the author of numerous award-winning books including Redesigning Work and The 100 Year Life. 
"You've got to change the way that you live. And I think helping people realise that they're going to live longer, that automation is going to make a huge impact on our lives...both in terms of robots and artificial intelligence...that knowledge is it helps people up-skill and re-skill..."
"...I certainly love corporations a lot more than I love politicians...and political leaders at the moment. Because I think, you know, the difference between political leaders and corporate leaders is the selection process to get to the top of Shell or BP or Equinor is rather different from the selection process to become a prime minister or the the leader of a country...."

Will ESG survive the next recession?
Should we divest from all fossil fuels?
Can sustainability truly coexist with profitability?
We all have our own unique ideas of what ESG really means in this way. But when you are part of a team managing $1.5 trillion of other people’s money, the stakes get higher. A lot higher. 
This is the reality for Cathrine de Coninck-Lopez, the guest on our latest episode of Conversations on Climate. Fortunately for us, it’s a pressure that has forged some very sharp thinking on the problems of sustainable investment today.
 
Cathrine de Coninck-Lopez is Global Head of ESG at Invesco, one of the world’s biggest asset managers.  
She leads the ESG function with teams across asset classes and geographies, responsible for integration, research, engagement, and innovation.  
There is so much behind-the-scenes insight here – and we really went after some of the big debates.
ESG: different things to different people
What does a Global Head of ESG actually do all day?
Connecting sustainability to fiduciary duty
To find your flavour of ESG, audit your own values
The next big opportunities in ESG: biodiversity, human rights, and impact investing
Divestment, ethics and financial performance – do we need more hard lines?
Does passive ESG investment make sense
Why you’ve got to rate your rating system…and it all comes back to values again
"I would say the first thing is make your money matter, right? So think about what you are, what you care about, whether the disclosures on whatever product you're looking at matches those values. And that's how I would just be really critical about what you're investing in."
"...first they ignore you, then they fight you and then you win....I genuinely believe we are winning. So I am excited about how ESG is just becoming part of the standard way of operating."

Human beings are social animals. We love – we need – to communicate. 
But when we don’t agree (which, let’s face it, is all the time!) then it’s the how of communication that matters. 
That’s where negotiation really shines; and in the words of our guest, negotiation is the ultimate problem-solving technology. 
To sharpen up your negotiation skills and really SHIFT your communication impact, you need to listen to this Conversations on Climate episode, with Professor Kathleen O’Connor.
Kathleen is Clinical Professor of Organisational Behaviour at London Business School, where she also directs the Executive Education programme. 
An expert in negotiation and conflict management, she has worked with corporate clients from Deutsche Bank to the World Economic Forum. She personally teaches a Women in Leadership course and is an advocate of gender equality across firms.
 
Here’s a brief rundown of this incredible conversation:
* Understanding the 21st-century technology of negotiation
* Why women don’t need to ‘wait for permission’ in business
* Power imbalances, collusion & climate responsibility – how do we get ‘cooperative  wins’ at COP? 
*Would a more gender-diverse global leadership be better at solving climate? 
*When women do better (and worse) in negotiations
*The secret sauce of becoming an effective negotiator: it’s nothing to do with toughness…
*Impasses at the global level: is a reset necessary to avoid historic spirals? 
*When quotas and meritocracy are complimentary;
*What can allyship mean for climate advocacy, in the face of inequality;
*The SHIFT model of negotiation
'...negotiate more... life really is about negotiating, negotiating not to win, but to better understand where someone else is coming from... ..it's taking another person's perspective, understanding what their interests are, and then using your creativity to come up with something that will work for both of us.And so negotiation not as kind of a bludgeon - bludgeoning the other side to make concessions to you - but really to understand what's at issue in that kind of insight into the other side's interests...what separates really good solutions... sustainable solutions from other kinds of agreements.'

Treeapp is the brainchild of our guests Godefroy Harito and Jules Buker (along with their co-founder Leo Ng) You could say that Treeapp's USP is that it lets anyone plant a tree, for free, every single day.  
In doing so, it is bringing together eco-conscious individuals with green businesses, and regenerating ecologies and communities around the world at the same time. It is both simple and rigorous in its approach to tackling climate, even as it raises fascinating questions about moral license, consumer responsibility, sustainable ad models and green imperialism in today’s digital economy.  
This was an intriguing conversation with a pair of brilliant Gen-Z founders, with moments of both thoughtful reflection and passionate mission. 
 
 ...I feel like there's more and more people that are going towards entrepreneurship and it's just great to see that some sectors, for example, like climate tech, have been, have been getting so much interest because, we need more startups in this space, we need more solutions. And entrepreneurship is the way to go...
...with the sort of long term view and five years from now, what we're really hoping for is for tree up to be in the hands of millions of people worldwide so that really anyone can have an impact everyday...what we really want to do is also enable businesses to integrate tree planting, carbon offsetting and in mitigation at the core of what they do...

Zoe Chance wants you to be charismatic on climate 
What really changes people’s minds? Is it passionate argument, cold hard facts, or winning over the most famous people on the planet? 
Climate folk have been trying all of the above for decades: with mixed results. But the most powerful tool of all is one we so often discount: speaking our personal truth to those closest to us.  
Zoe Chance is Assistant Professor of Marketing and Senior Lecturer at Yale School of Management, where she teaches the top-ranked MBA elective ‘Mastering Influence and Persuasion’.
She is on a mission to turn us all into the charismatic leaders the climate needs – with a few simple hacks from the latest behavioural science. 
Zoe tells her story of going from shy child, to running a $200m Barbie brand, to becoming a world-expert in the science of persuasion and author of Influence is your Superpower.  
At the same time, she has been on a decade-long journey to becoming a climate activist.   
It’s a fascinating tale, and Zoe is such a natural conversationalist 
To find out how to supercharge your climate influence – with a little help from cutting-edge behavioural science, listen in.
...what is going to change the worlds of the climate crisis influences...? what makes almost anything important happen. It's not like you have to focus your whole entire life and career on studying influence. It's whatever it is that you want to make. Whatever change you make in the world, even just whatever difference you want to make for your own self, your family, your community, your organization influences the way that you get there.
...So there is no other way. There's no other way. And I'm excited to be able to help interest and inspire some people to be a little bit more mindful about studying and learning about influence, to practice it so that we're not leaving influence in the hands of the power hungry...

Amory Poulden wants to do Venture Capital differently. You’ll want to find out why.
What does it take to put everything on the line, to search out the next green start-up superstar?
Venture capital is not for the faint-hearted; your entire career rests on how well you can predict the future.
So, what happens when that future disappears before your eyes? What happens when climate changes everything?
Amory Poulden had a successful career as a Principal at Shell Ventures. Then his first child arrived, he woke up to climate, and asked himself: what will they think of my career when they grow up?  
In VC-speak, this is an ‘inflection point’. We just call it a great story. 
Amory quit Shell and founded D2, a new fund with a focus on tech – and climatetech in particular. Armed with a $20m and the conviction that solving environmental crises is the wealth-creating opportunity of the century, he is one of a new breed of climate conscious VCs – with a genuine desire to do things differently.  
This is an insightful, critical, and refreshingly honest interview and what an outstanding guest to wrap up 2022!
"...So I think it's back to that point around product based businesses. So that's the sort of North Star that we won't deviate from. So again, we wouldn't be investing in a consulting business, we wouldn't be investing in a services based business. We're looking for those companies where there is a tech component, where there is that kind of core product, be it either a physical product or software products, that once you've gone through that initial build phase, the potential scalability is non-linear..."

Competitive advantage is essential for success in any field.
But what if there was a different way to achieve competitive advantage? One that didn't involve ruthless tactics or underhanded strategies?
According to Professor Dan Cable, the answer is emotions.
By understanding and embracing our emotions, we can create a competitive edge that is unrivaled. In episode 14 Professor Cable provides an in-depth analysis of what creates a competitive advantage and how it can be sustained. His findings may surprise you.
Learn how to apply the emotions of competitive advantage in your own business and achieve lasting success.
This is a fun and incredible insightful episode. You’re going to love it.
Dan is the Professor of Organisational Behaviour at London Business School and author of the brilliant Alive at Work. He takes us through the story of purpose, and how to make it work – starring cats, mice, and the Canadian bank that started organising family reunions. 
"...So if it has purpose, that means it connects to what you feel is meaningful. And we have a lot of evidence that it not only promotes your own health and how long you live, it also gives you an energy and a resilience when you hit obstacles and bumps in the road. And there's really good evidence that for a human being, purpose is not only life and health giving, but it helps us achieve our goals....So that's wonderful and powerful...."
