The conversation about climate change is, to put it mildly, heating up within corporations around the world. The drivers? Investors, employees, policymakers, regulators, and, of course, consumers.
And, says Lynn Good, chair, president, and CEO of Duke Energy, “under the Biden administration, with his thought that the climate needs to be a whole of government approach, it certainly has raised the conversation.”
She adds that the topic is nothing new at Duke Energy: “The environment has been front and center for us for some time. We sit here today with a 40% carbon reduction from 2005.”
Good joins Coins2Day’ s Alan Murray on this week’s episode of Leadership Next, a podcast about the changing rules of business leadership. Cohost Ellen McGirt has the day off.
Good and Murray’s conversation ranges from the continued downsizing of Duke Energy’s reliance on coal to wind power, solar energy, the bulk power system, and how to get to a net-zero future.
