18:47 Share

  In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we sit down at Climate Week NYC with Sue Jenny Ehr, the interim CEO of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). SBTi is a nonprofit that develops standards, tools and guidance to allow companies to set greenhouse gas emissions reductions targets in line with what is needed to reach net-zero by 2050 at latest. Sue took on the interim CEO role in July 2024. In the interview, she talks about how SBTi is evolving — including its approach to revising its corporate net-zero standard. "We want to ensure as we become more formal and structured and robust and scale up that we continue to listen to what the climate community needs and do our best to address those needs," Sue tells us on the sidelines of The Nest Climate Campus, where ESG Insider is an official podcast.
