Guidehouse's podcast series “Beyond the Electron: The Energy Cloud” provides an in-depth look at the rapid transformation of the global energy system. Season 2, episode 2 looks at a large range of sustainability issues that go beyond just emission reductions.

Sustainability is a broad term that encompasses not only decarbonization and clean energy but also topics such as environmental justice and habitat protection. Multinational corporations and utilities are working to understand the increasing focus on sustainability, how to define it, and opportunities and challenges to achieving sustainability objectives. Britt Harter, partner in Guidehouse’s Energy, Sustainability, and Infrastructure segment, and Sharon Tomkins, Vice President for Sustainability for Sempra, talk to host Chris Warren about where sustainability lies today and what the future may hold.
