147. 'Driving ESG Goals for Utility Asset Investment Planning' with Damien Quentin, Copperleaf

In recent years, ESG principles have shifted drastically from a nebulous concept that only some Boards of Directors were considering, to a headline-grabbing story being pushed by customers, investors, and even regulators.

While ESG has quickly become a crucial realm in the utility industry, many stakeholders remain uncertain or behind the curve when it comes to embracing the ESG imperative. In this episode of the Energy Central Power Perspectives Podcast, Damien Quentin, the ESG Practice Lead at Copperleaf shares with podcast host Jason Price and producer Matt Chester his insights on the importance of ESG in utilities, how value-based decision-making enables better risk management and enterprise asset management, and how utilities are addressing equity and resilience in their ESG strategies.
