Listen "Why sustainability could save (or sink) your business | &BLOOM Sustainability & ESG"
Episode Synopsis
Sustainability isn’t just a ‘nice to have’. It’s a strategic must-have for 2025 and beyond. In this episode, Kiarne Treacy sits down with Sydney Straver, Founder of award-winning ESG advisory firm &BLOOM Sustainability & ESG, to unpack what really matters in sustainability right now. From the rise of materiality assessments (and the difference between double and single materiality) to why waiting for regulations could cost you big, Sydney shares a practical, business-first approach to embedding sustainability into real growth and value creation. They dive into the risks businesses aren’t seeing yet, how customer expectations are shifting fast, and why acting early could be your strongest competitive advantage. If you’re serious about future-proofing your business (without wasting time or money), this conversation is your starting line.
