Join us for Tipping the Scale, a weekly deep dive into Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues shaping South Africa and the world. Hosted by Bernadette Bule and Samm Marshall, this thought-provoking podcast explores how businesses, policymakers, and communities can drive sustainable change.

In this episode, we unpack the Just Energy Transition, examining South Africa’s move away from coal to cleaner energy sources while ensuring that jobs, livelihoods, and communities are protected. We also discuss BlackRock’s shift away from ESG, the impact of global regulatory changes, and the latest developments in climate action, including South Africa’s Presidential Climate Commission consultation on NDC targets.

How do we balance sustainability, economic growth, and social equity in a rapidly changing world? Tune in to find out.
