Our newest podcast has dropped. I talk with Ashley Walter, Partner & Chief Sustainability Officer at Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, about how companies are dealing with unprecedented business and regulatory whiplash in sustainability mandates/programs that has created tremendous confusion and fear at all levels.
