    Episode 16: Casting the net: Zero reasons to delay climate action - with Austral Fisheries

    en-auOctober 28, 2022

    About this Episode

    “We don't have to worry about the next quarterly cycle, like public companies do. We can take judgments that transcend that cycle, understanding that seasons and natural systems produce variable results. We've made a judgment to leave a whole bunch of fish uncaught, with a negative impact on profitability, and we've made that call based on what we've felt is in the long term interest of the fishery. It's a privilege that we can play the long game and deliver long term shareholder value.”

    In this podcast episode, we speak with David Carter, CEO of Austral Fisheries, one of Australia’s largest integrated commercial fishing companies. Austral shows unparalleled global leadership in sustainable fishing, is a carbon neutral organisation, and sells carbon neutral products. 

    Not only do we talk about Austral’s sustainable business practices, their carbon footprint and emissions reduction activities, but we also dive deeper into what motivated David to act on climate change, personally and in his role as CEO of the company.

    In this episode, find out:

    • How Simon Sinek and a trip to the Antarctic inspired David to take action on climate change
    • How people like Mike Cannon Brooks gave David permission for a bigger narrative and talking about climate change in his personal and business life
    • How Austral Fisheries see themselves as a steward of the ocean and how they play the long game
    • Why David feels that Austral Fisheries can’t be a climate action leader until they have followers 
    • Why Austral Fisheries had its new hybrid electric ship built in Norway
    • Whether green methanol could be the future for net zero shipping

    Episode 19: How to Confidently Buy High-integrity Carbon Offsets

    Episode 19: How to Confidently Buy High-integrity Carbon Offsets

    “It doesn’t make sense to go carbon neutral and purchase carbon offsets that might be dodgy. The purpose of achieving carbon neutrality is that you want to prove to the marketplace that you care about the environment and that you are taking a stand against climate change.  You don’t want to open yourself up to reputational damage. “

    In this special episode of “Driving Profit with Net Zero emissions” podcast, we're revisiting a recent webinar that we hosted in collaboration with TEM (Tasman Environmental Markets) — "How to confidently buy high-integrity carbon offsets."

    The webinar breaks down the intricacies of carbon offsetting and provide a clear pathway for strategic carbon credit purchasing. 

    In this episode, Barbara Albert and Nicolas Francois were joined by our guest speakers from TEM, Brett Giddings (Head of Digital Solutions), and Rebecca Heard (Manager of Corporate Partnerships and Digital Solutions).

    In this episode, we cover:

    • Understanding carbon offsetting: The basics and importance in today's sustainability landscape.
    • Criteria for high-quality offsets: Identifying and selecting the most credible offsets.
    • Climate Active certification: How offsets play a key role in achieving voluntary carbon neutral certification.
    • Navigating greenwashing and greenhushing: Ensuring your organisation's practices are transparent and trustworthy.
    • The offset market: Insights into market trends
    • Risk management: Strategies to secure high-quality offsets and safeguard your organisation's reputation.

    Episode 18: Creating Change: Western Sydney University’s Sustainable Leadership

    Episode 18: Creating Change: Western Sydney University’s Sustainable Leadership

    “I think authenticity is really important. It's nice to look and learn from what other people are doing, but follow your own normative compass. Follow the path that looks right for you and your organisation, and just work your way through it, step by step. Be ready to have ethically defensible strategies when operating in areas that are open to critique, but it's more important to be a doer than a critic. We also need to be self-reflective and critical and be agile when we can. Take the opportunities when we can, be bold.”

    In this podcast episode, we have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Roger Attwater, Senior Manager at the Environmental Sustainability at Western Sydney University’s Division of Infrastructure and Commercial. Roger leads the team overseeing the implementation of the Environmental Sustainability Policy and the Environmental Sustainability Action Plan and related initiatives, including engagement opportunities through the Living Labs.

    Roger and Barbara chat about Western Sydney University's efforts on climate action, their net zero strategy, and what led them to be ranked number 1 in the Times Higher Education Impact rankings for their overall action across the Sustainable Development Goals for two consecutive years.

    In this episode, find out:

    •  What showing up for climate action means for Western Sydney University
    •  Western Sydney University’s  number 1 ranking in the Times Higher Eduction Impact rankings
    • Western Sydney University’s  Living labs
    • Western Sydney University’s  mitigation efforts

    Episode 17: Striking at the root, with Simon Holmes à Court

    Episode 17: Striking at the root, with Simon Holmes à Court

    “One of the most impactful things we can do if you're passionate about climate change is to support politics. It's striking at the root of what needs to be done to make sure that the people who are working on the policies are going to drive this transformation. If we don't have the right people working at the root in favour of this, then we can all be wasting so much of our time.”

     In this podcast episode, we speak with Simon Holmes à Court, an entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist who founded Climate 200, which is an initiative aimed at empowering communities to nurture their own political candidates and effect change on climate issues.

    We talk about Australia's lost decade on climate action, and Simon’s book "The Big Teal' which was published in 2022. We also dive deep into the role of politics in supporting businesses in their transition to net zero and how business can support politics.

    In this episode, find out:

    • How Simon became so passionate about climate action
    • What inspired him to write his book “The Big Teal”
    • What is Climate 200 and how it differs from other climate change initiatives
    • Whether Simon thinks that we can limit warming to 1.5C and the solutions that will get us to net zero
    • Who, out of business, government, big finance, or the community, should do the heavy lifting to get us to net zero
    • How a net zero world looks like for Simon Holmes à Court

    Episode 15: A world without waste, with Sims Limited

    Episode 15: A world without waste, with Sims Limited

    “One of the things that we've also done is put in an internal carbon price. We'll be using that in modelling all our CapEx decisions and strategy to understand the impacts of various decisions on our targets and the financial return. The CFOs of our businesses saw immediately how that process could help us achieve our goals and what their responsibility was in terms of making that happen, and the contribution that they could make towards delivering this critical outcome for Sims.

    The carbon price was a new way of helping our people connect to our purpose of delivering a world without waste. We make a lot of asset decisions, such as buying material handlers. They're long-lived pieces of capital equipment. If we buy a diesel one today, we're going to be offsetting that in 2030.”

    In this podcast episode, we speak with Blaise Porter, Group Director Sustainability & Corporate Responsibility of Sims Limited, a global leader in metal recycling and circular solutions for technology, as well as an emerging leader in renewable energy. Sims focus on building a sustainable, diverse, and innovative supply chain throughout the country and across the globe.

    Blaise shares how important reusing and recycling materials are to prevent emissions from entering the atmosphere and how Sims Limited plays an important role in closing the loop and enabling a circular economy and thus minimising greenhouse gas emissions. Specific topics discussed are:
    · Decarbonising steel and aluminium
    · Repurposing cloud assets
    · Reusing materials such as plastic in cars
    · How Sims engaged its internal stakeholders to set ambitious targets
    · How Sims set an internal carbon price of $100 by 2030
    · How Sims helps its customer reduce their carbon footprint
    · How we can divert waste from landfill
