#69 Anne Kelly: What Does Trump 2.0 Mean for Sustainable Business?

How can US businesses continue their work towards a green transition despite the Trump 2.0 administration’s efforts to derail them? Listen to Anne Kelly, Vice President of Government Relations at Ceres

Despite only being in office for less than 100 days, the Trump 2.0 administration has already passed several measures reversing the work of previous governments to fight climate change and embed ESG into the heart of American business practice.

This week on the FranklySpeaking podcast, Richard Howitt is joined by Anne Kelly, Vice President of Government Relations at Ceres, the NGO which has led advocacy for the sustainability transition in the US for more than 30 years.

Together they discussed what the second Trump administration means for sustainable business, and how those looking to defend ESG from rightwing backlash should respond. You’ll also hear more about:
