This recording comes from our virtual learning series, ClimateCAP MBA Academy: Understanding the Business of Climate on Friday, April 5th, 2024.

Our speaker is Alison Taylor, clinical associate professor at NYU Stern School of Business, and the executive director at Ethical Systems. Alison shares key takeaways from her book, Higher Ground: How Business Can do the Right Thing in a Turbulent World. She discusses how business leaders can navigate ethical challenges and risks in a volatile global landscape. She talks through themes such as the politicization of the corporate world, how far a company should go to address social/environmental challenges, how to balance all of the “noise” from stakeholders and prioritize the stakeholders that matter most, the weaponization of transparency, and more.
