Stories of Impact & Innovation: How Every Job Can Be Sustainable | ESG Decoded Podcast #163
Earth Month is celebrated in April and reminds us that protecting our planet is a shared responsibility. This goes beyond activism or environmental science; it can start with the work we do every day. Too often, we assume that making a difference means working directly in sustainability. But what if your current role in finance, marketing, skilled trades, or technology already contributes to climate solutions?
In this episode, Emma Cox talks with Bill Weber of 3M Ventures about why it’s time to rethink what makes a job “green.” Bill shares how people in all industries can contribute to climate action, along with insights from his winding career path.
During this episode, you will learn:
Why the definition of a “green job” is broader than you might think
What innovation in climate tech really means - how are companies innovating to address climate change today?
Ways individuals and companies can align everyday work with environmental impact
Tune in for a fresh perspective on how your everyday work can support a more sustainable future.
