Episode No.183 - James Napier Notch
In this episode of Energy Speaks Back, I’m joined by James Napier, founder of Notch, to talk about turning sustainability from a set of intentions into a clear, repeatable process that delivers outcomes.
Many organisations are collecting more data than ever, but still struggle to convert it into decisions that people act on. James shares why the real challenge is not reporting, it is operational clarity. We explore how teams can create a single source of truth, assign ownership, and build simple workflows that keep sustainability moving every week, not just at year end.
We also discuss what good looks like when sustainability, energy, finance, and procurement need to work together. From data to decisions is not just a phrase, it is the difference between activity and progress. If you are managing multiple sites, chasing suppliers, or trying to keep carbon, energy, and compliance aligned, this episode will give you practical ways to reduce friction and increase momentum.
Listen in for a grounded conversation on actionable insights, accountability, and making sustainability easier to deliver at scale.
