Levers of ExchangeAuthor: Jimmy Jia
Many people would have you believe that sustainability is a profession separate from all others. That there are special skills one needs to learn in order to become a sustainability expert. That sustainability products are additional to the products and services you buy every day.Not so.The sustainability of an organization is the whole organization, not just the responsibility of the sustainability department. In essence, we need sustainability accountants, lawyers, plumbers, electricians, marketeers, purchasing agents, and so on. Every job is a sustainability job. At Levers of Exchange, we help individuals embrace and enhance their existing abilities to make the sustainability changes that they want. In our community, we help individuals exchange, question and innovate new tools to do our own jobs better. And along the way, we can contribute to building a sustainable world. Hosted on Acast.

S03E11 Organizing your company to remove a Gigaton of Carbon
Episode 11
Wednesday, 25 August, 2021
What we discussed: We have a proliferation of agreements, commitments, and pledges to achieve climate mitigation. But what’s underneath the pledges? And which pledges achieve the action that we need? Kaya Axelsson and I discussed incentives, purpose of business, and pledges in our reflection of Season 3 interviews. Why it matters: What if every think tank, university department or company organized themselves with the responsibility of reducing 1 gigaton of carbon? This is a simple metric that allows people to thrive in their job yet organize the goal to meaningful impact. What it means for you: There is carbon being emitted from every sector – whether agriculture, real estate, manufacturing, retail, and so on. Which gigaton of reduction are you focused on?
