In this episode of In With the New, host Avril speaks with Susan Hollingshead, an advisor to early-stage clean energy companies. Susan shares her role in the B Corp movement and her work in contaminated property redevelopment. She discusses the broader scope of renewable energy beyond generation, including consumption and storage.
Applying new ways of thinking to existing products to make them greener involves understanding how people change the consumption of energy. For B Corp companies to prosper, means spending equal time thinking about the sources of energy and how it will be consumed by those using certain products. Going forward, companies need to increase their capacity by making ways to consume energy more efficient.
Listen in to learn more about Susan’s work with B Corp companies and their goal to make renewable energy better.
