There is no ESG without accountability, and energy poverty, hypocrisy, and pollution will continue without action. Which side will you be on?
Energy poverty is one of my biggest concerns, and my conversation with Captin Kelly is one of the most fun yet emotional I have had. We could have gone on for another hour with his wealth of experience, solutions, and working programs, but I had to stop.
Captain Kieran Kelly, Commissioner and CEO of the Ocean Integrity Group, is a fantastic resource of oceanic knowledge and has a mission to take that knowledge and turn it into action for humanity and our environment.
