Starting and Scaling ESG Programs: Insights from Rebecca Lehman
Hello! In this episode of Roots of Sustainable Impact, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Rebecca Lehman, the Senior Manager of Social Impact and ESG at DroneDeploy. We took a deep dive into the fascinating world of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) programs.
Rebecca shared how ESG serves as a framework to manage risk while driving purpose-driven growth. She explained how her team prioritizes stakeholders, balances scaling with impact, and selects meaningful metrics to measure success. Whether you're in a startup or a larger organization, Rebecca’s insights provide practical guidance for starting, refining, or scaling your ESG journey.
We also discussed:
- Engaging Stakeholders: From investors to employees and communities, Rebecca shared strategies to ensure meaningful conversations and collaborations.
- Key Metrics and Storytelling: Defining what to measure and how to communicate impact effectively to build trust and alignment.
- Pledge 1% Initiative: A look at how companies can incorporate volunteering and giving into their culture—even with limited resources.
- Practical First Steps: Rebecca recommended starting with risk and materiality assessments to identify areas of focus and engage leadership from the outset.
Rebecca also highlighted tools and frameworks, such as ESG-specific VC tools, GRI standards, and SASB materiality maps, that can help companies navigate their ESG efforts.
If you’re looking to launch or strengthen an ESG program, this episode is packed with actionable advice and inspiration.
