Sustainable procurement. Water and waste management. Regulatory compliance. Annual reports and climate action policies. Biodiversity programs. A community fund. It’s all in a day’s work for Conrad Energy’s Head of ESG, Nishikant Gupta!

In the latest episode of our Game Changers mini-series, Nish takes Ashurst’s Lorraine Johnston behind the scenes to reveal how he puts his ESG strategy into action. It’s a remarkable story that spans third-party and supplier collaborations, biodiversity innovations, cutting-edge technology, meticulous measurement, and much more.

Nish also shares some words of advice for up-and-coming ESG specialists, including: “Be bold in your vision, but grounded in practical action. Ask: What's the impact of your work?” Also: “Collaboration is key…working across disciplines—whether it's within your office or within sectors—often sparks the most impactful solutions.” And finally, “Act. Even small steps matter.”
