 In episode twenty-five of the Change Exchange podcast, Kate Morican is joined by previous guests Ben Fish and James Healy to discuss the role of behavioural change in addressing climate change and sustainability challenges. Consumerism and urbanization have made it increasingly difficult for individuals and employees to act in environmentally sustainable ways. Governments and corporations have a key role in shaping public services and workplaces to make climate-conscious behaviours easier and more rewarding through the incentives, relationships, and stories they tell.

Climate Conscious Behaviour

As corporate climate action and standards continue to evolve, professional services firms have an important opportunity and obligation to act on the climate crisis, both within their own organizations and with their clients. In this episode, Kate Morican is joined by Sheri Penner, Deloitte Canada's Executive Sponsor for WorldClimate, to discuss how Deloitte is approaching the changes required to model authentic climate action, avoid greenwashing, and achieve the deep emissions cuts required to achieve net-zero in line with leading standards.

Deloitte's Role in Net Zero

As organizations set out on their net-zero journeys, mobilizing their people has become a critical factor to accelerate climate action. Businesses are realizing that in doing so they will also be better able to attract and retain talent, raise productivity, and achieve long-term stakeholder value. In this episode, Kate sits down with Ben Fish, a Partner in Deloitte’s Australian practice, to discuss how organizations have been transforming to meet the challenges of the climate crisis.
