  • How mining giant balances energy transition, nature and sustainability priorities
    Building out the infrastructure needed for the low-carbon energy transition will require a substantial increase in the production of critical minerals and metals such as copper, nickel, zinc and lithium. These minerals are needed for many different technologies including electric vehicles and battery storage, clean hydrogen, geothermal, wind, solar and electricity networks.   In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we'll hear how one of the biggest producers of critical minerals, Vale Base Metals, is approaching this increased demand. And we'll explore how the company thinks about balancing those demands with other sustainability issues including community engagement, biodiversity, waste management, and physical climate risks.  We sit down with Vale Base Metals  Chief Sustainability and Corporate Affairs Officer Emily Olson on the sidelines of S&P Global’s CERAWeek energy conference. Vale Base Metals is a subsidiary of mining company Vale SA with operations in Canada, the UK, Brazil, Japan and Indonesia.  Emily says Vale Base Metals factors sustainability into its operations from the start. “You cannot be a miner without having sustainability in all of its elements integrated into how you run your operations," she says. “It's a big operation — we impact the land, we impact communities. And so for us, your social license and how you are willing to create that mutual and shared value, that's the first stop.”  Emily also discusses how the company is navigating current market uncertainty from tariffs and the potential impacts on the company’s supply chains. “Policy aside, mining needs dependable supply chains,” she says. “We are a long life, long lead business. Having dependable diversified supply chains is really important.”  Read S&P Global Sustainable1 research: Rocks and hard places: The ecosystem risks of mining for energy transition minerals  Learn more about the S&P Global Sustainable1 Nature & Biodiversity Risk dataset.

  • Talking AI, climate goals with one of the largest US natural gas companies
    The rise of AI means more datacenters, and that means huge increases in electricity demand. In the US, natural gas is expected to play a prominent role in powering the AI boom.   In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we’re talking with EQT, one of the nation’s largest natural gas companies, to understand what’s ahead for AI, the energy transition and sustainability.   We sit down with Courtney Loper, EQT’s Head of Government Relations and Public Affairs, on the sidelines of S&P Global’s CERAWeek energy conference. She says natural gas can help the world shift away from coal-fired generation, which has a higher concentration of carbon emissions per unit of energy than natural gas. And she says EQT is focused on making its product as clean as possible, including by curbing carbon and methane emissions in its production of natural gas.  "A big focus for EQT has been the replacement of international coal with US natural gas and really thinking about the emissions offset that can come from that," Courtney says.   She says permitting reforms are needed in the US to get natural gas pipelines and other infrastructure built to meet growing energy demands from AI.  Courtney also tells us the company's view on sustainability remains "unchanged."   “Regardless of what winds shift in any sort of way around the idea of sustainability, it's something that we're going to continue to engage in, it's something that we're going to continue to promote, because it's important for the long-term viability of natural gas,” she says.  Learn more about S&P Global’s energy transition data here.

  • How one of the largest US utilities is building climate resilience
    In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we sit down with Shinjini Menon, Senior Vice President of System Planning and Engineering at Southern California Edison, an investor-owned public utility operating as a subsidiary of Edison International.   Southern California Edison is one of the largest US electric utilities, and Shinjini explains how it is prioritizing energy reliability and affordability while also building climate resilience — a topic that is particularly urgent in Southern California, where the risk of wildfires is so high.   “We have put forward a pretty ambitious goal for decarbonization and the electrification that we believe is necessary for affordable decarbonization,” Shinjini says.   “At the end of the day, it's about all of our communities having affordable access to energy, reliable energy, and having that energy security.”   Shinjini explains how the utility uses technology, modeling and data to mitigate wildfire risks and make the grid more resilient. She says Southern California Edison has learned from peers in the US and other parts of the world as it works to build climate resilience.   Listen to last week's interviews from the CERAWeek conference hosted by S&P Global here.

  • Energy transition discussions shift to pragmatism amid policy uncertainty
    To understand how companies at the heart of the energy industry are approaching the energy transition, we took the All Things Sustainable podcast on the road to Houston, Texas to cover CERAWeek, the annual S&P Global conference informally known as the industry’s “Super Bowl.”  As we’ll hear from today’s guests, many discussions at CERAWeek 2025 March 10-14 focused on pragmatism and realism.  We talk with S&P Global Ratings Chief Economist Paul Gruenwald about balancing near-term concerns around energy affordability, security and reliability with longer-term concerns about sustainability and climate change.   Paul also discusses the impact of tariff uncertainty in the US.  “Markets hate uncertainty, whether you're in the financial markets or you're in the energy markets and producing the energy that we all need,” Paul says. "Even if you align with the broad objectives of the new administration, I think all the back-and-forth and the drama around the tariffs have really put a damper on some of that excitement.”  We speak to Arshad Mansoor about how the world can meet demand for electricity to power growing AI usage. Arshad is President and CEO of the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), a research organization that focuses on US electricity generation and delivery.  To understand how energy companies are navigating the current transition landscape, we sit down with Cate Hight, a partner at global consultancy Bain & Company.   And we talk to Damian Beauchamp about the role of policy in enabling technology innovation. Damian is President and Chief Development Officer at 8 Rivers, a clean energy and climate technology company that develops sustainable infrastructure solutions like carbon capture to help the global energy industry achieve net-zero.  Listen to a replay of the S&P Global webinar, ‘Capturing $60T energy transition opportunities, while managing $25T climate risks’. Listen to our podcast episode, ‘Talking energy transition with the US Department of Energy’. Listen to our podcast interview with ExxonMobil at CERAWeek.

  • Exploring tech giant Amazon's approach to water stewardship
    The United Nations’ annual World Water Day observance took place on March 22, with a focus on supporting the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 6: water and sanitation for all by 2030.  In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we dive into the water stewardship practices at Amazon, one of the world’s largest companies with a market cap of more than $2 trillion dollars. Amazon Water Sustainability Lead Will Hewes outlines the company's approach to water in the communities it serves and across Amazon's business lines, which range from e-commerce to online entertainment streaming services to grocery stores and cloud computing.   Will explains that one of the company’s goals is to be "water positive" in its datacenter operations at Amazon Web Services by 2030 — meaning AWS aims to return more water to communities than it uses in direct operations.  Amazon operates in several countries and regions facing water-related challenges that are being exacerbated by climate change, and Will says the company is working with communities to support their adaptation efforts.   "We can't solve that entire crisis on our own, obviously,” Will says. “But how can we help plug in and help support some of those adaptations that need to happen to make sure that communities and the environment still have water they need, when they need it?"   Read further research from S&P Global Sustainable1:  How climate change is exacerbating drought risks For the world’s largest companies, climate physical risks have a $1.2 trillion annual price tag by the 2050s Learn more about S&P Global Sustainable1's climate physical risk dataset, which include financial calculations on water stress and drought risks, here.
