Climate disclosures are becoming table stakes for companies around the world. But what should organizations know about where climate reporting is headed?
In the first episode of Climate Compass, Host Laura Zizzo chats about what the evolution of corporate climate disclosures means for businesses. She speaks with Manifest Climate’s Editorial Lead, Louie Woodall, who breaks down the top stories in the space over the last few months. Louie also touches on Manifest Climate’s inaugural Disclosure Benchmark Review, which analyzes the decision-usefulness of companies’ climate disclosures.
Laura is then joined by special guest Paul Simpson, the co-founder and former CEO of CDP, a global nonprofit that helps investors, companies, and municipalities disclose and manage their environmental impact. Laura and Paul discuss what climate disclosures looked like 20 years ago, how they’ve changed, and how they’re becoming corporate essentials. They also explore how companies can move toward a net-zero economy.
Climate Compass is a monthly podcast presented by Manifest Climate, the leading Climate Risk Planning solution.
