Guest: Mike Gerbis, CEO of Delphi
Politics and megaweather get all the attention on climate change, but the impacts on business are profound. The liabilities for business may rise faster than the temperature! So why are so many business leaders so far behind in dealing with it?
As Oz’s Lion would say, it boils down to courage. The climate issue means challenging the status quo, which upsets stockholders focused on short-term profit. Mike Gerbis, a CEO who HAS challenged the status quo, tells host Maureen Metcalf that businesses need courageous leadership to address climate change and other pressing global issues.
