Why energy is everything One of the most rewarding things I do to address #climatechange is my ongoing role as a Tutor of current and future business leaders at Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL). Recently, a participant on the current cohort, Sofia B Nemchenko, brought some interesting infographics to my attention, courtesy of The Energy for Growth Hub. The images (https://lnkd.in/gzTrGSu6) are remarkably effective in illustrating how unequal #electricity use is on a global basis; why climate change means more #energy, not less; and why #sdg7 (#affordablecleanenergy) is so important for global #prosperity.

💡🌎Every day is Earth Day here at Strategen and our dedication to a #CleanEnergy future remains unwavered. Our mission is to empower and inspire corporations, utilities, and public sector leaders to accelerate grid modernization, decarbonize the planet, and enhance the quality of life worldwide.

🌍 Reflecting on the G4C National Conference in Manchester 🌍 Last week, I had the privilege of chairing a discussion at the Constructing Excellence Generation4Change (G4C) National Conference in Manchester, where we tackled one of the most pressing issues of our time—climate action and decarbonizing the construction industry at a global scale. It ended up being a 2 hour session with some tough questions! One key takeaway from that discussion has really stuck with me: we can all make a difference through the decisions we make every single day. The ripple effect of small, thoughtful actions adds up, and collectively, we have the power to drive real change. 🌱 But here’s the question that’s been keeping me up at night—can today's leadership truly put aside their own goals and focus on the future? And something that has always frustrated me The younger generation is full of ideas and a vision for a more sustainable world, but it's up to us to create the space for them to lead. Are we and you as leaders, ready to be selfless enough to prioritize their future over our own immediate gains? or next months numbers? I believe we can be. In fact, I believe we must be. Its something ZERO has pushed from day 1. Everyones opinion is as important as the next. The work we do today isn’t just about us—it’s about leaving the world and industry in a better place for those who come after us. That’s the legacy we should be aiming for.

I assume those of us in the small business community already know this and are already practicing Conscious Capitalism, even if you have never heard that term. (My reaction -- OMG, I finally found my people!) AND... There are so many studies showing that companies (READ: Leaders) who follow Conscious Capitalism Principles significantly outperform the S&P 500 AND Good to Great companies. WHY? Join us on Wednesday to start exploring!
