What are the major roadblocks in heavy industry’s pathway to decarbonisation? Listen to Jiří Mravec, Head of Innovation and Transformation at Třinecké železárny & Antonín Šámal, Research Fellow at the thinktank Association for International Affairs
What progress has been made so far in heavy industry’s journey towards net zero, and what more needs to be done to aid them in their transformation?
In this episode of the Frankly Speaking podcast, Richard Howitt was joined by Jiří Mravec, Head of Innovation and Transformation at Třinecké železárny (Třinec Iron and Steelworks) & Antonín Šámal, Research Fellow at the thinktank Association for International Affairs (AMO Klima).
Together they assessed the European Commission’s Clean Industrial Deal and whether businesses are receiving enough support in their transition to low carbon. You’ll also hear more about:
Do our ideas about what makes companies competitive actually hinder the shift toward sustainability?
Is it really is possible for companies to "do the right thing"?
There's very little pressure being applied to companies by investors looking at how they're actually behaving and treating human rights as a core business priority. This needs to change.
