  • S02 E11: Social Sustainability Manager, what's that like? With Lisa Osbäck

    Hey Master Podders, 

    the transport sector is responsible for 1/5th of global CO2 emissions. Crazy, huh? We know that something has to change and so does Lisa Osbäck, social sustainability manager at Scania, a Swedish heavy duty company. In this episode, Lisa talks with Laura about what she thinks needs to be done to solve the climate crisis, why she doesn't like it when companies only focus on certain SDGs and what the Scania climate day is.

    An episode you should not miss!

    Love
