Episode 3: Net zero is never the end point. It’s the starting point.

In this episode, Lee Brailey welcomes Erik Terjesen, partner at Silicon Foundry, and Pulakesh Mukherjee, co-founder and managing partner at Imperative Ventures, to discuss how business leaders should be thinking about their strategic investments and fit when it comes to decarbonization technologies, partnerships, and processes.

The need to end our reliance on fossil fuels and invest in and integrate alternative sources of energy that are clean, accessible, affordable, sustainable, and reliable in order to avoid the forecasted consequences of climate change is clear.

The good news is that technologies in this domain are cheaper than ever. And we continue to see public policies and subsidies enacted around the globe that are expected to supercharge a long-term trend driven by rapid advances in technological innovation.

For businesses ready to make the shift, the opportunities to move the needle on this existential crisis—and reap the financial rewards—are clear. However, while the decarbonization ambitions of industry leaders are well-stated, getting a tangible action plan out of the starting blocks is proving a challenge across all industries.
