Former petrochemical engineer turned sustainability strategist, Sonya Samson, has seen both sides of the climate challenge and knows how to turn lofty commitments into tangible results.

 

In this episode, she joined Kiarne to unpack the dual priorities of decarbonisation and climate adaptation, why delaying action will cost more, and the “no regrets” moves every business can make right now.

 

You’ll hear and learn:
How to bridge the gap between technical sustainability targets and real organisational change
Why adaptation and decarbonisation must happen together to avoid high costs later
The most impactful actions you can take now, even without a big budget or consultant
How to engage suppliers in reducing emissions across the value chain
Why unexpected allies inside your business can fast-track change

 

This episode is one to listen to if you’re a business leader, sustainability manager, and anyone tasked with making net zero and climate resilience more than just a line in a strategy document.
