Talk show on ESG: The Alphabet Soup of ESG Frameworks (because every week there's a new framework)
A beginner's guide to ESG, so you don't have to pretend you know what it means in meetings.
Season 3. Episode 1.
For everyone who has ever asked me:
"What is this ESG thing you keep talking about?"
"What do you actually do?"
"Why are there so many frameworks?"
And my personal favourite:
"Is this even a real job?"
This episode is for beginners.
No jargon. No reports. No 200-page sustainability documents.
Just a simple conversation on what ESG is, why it exists, where it is applied, and why companies, investors, and regulators suddenly seem obsessed with it.
Think of this as the episode you can send to your friend, colleague, parent, or grandparent before introducing them to the world of ESG.
Let's start from the beginning.

Talk show on ESG: How ESG actually works
In the previous episode, we understood what ESG is trying to do. But a natural question follows how does any of this work in the real world?
After all, it’s one thing to say “measure environmental and social impact”, and another to actually do it inside a company.
To understand this, it helps to step inside the system.
Imagine a company that wants to start “doing ESG”. The first thing it realizes is that ESG is not a single activity. It is a combination of data, processes, and disclosures. And more importantly, it involves multiple stakeholders who are all looking at the company from different angles.
Broadly, there are four key players in the ESG ecosystem companies, frameworks, rating agencies, and investors.

Talk show on ESG - What is ESG, really?
We’re restarting the podcast.
Keeping it simple.
This episode is about where ESG actually begins
not frameworks, not reports, but the first conversation.
Trying to make ESG feel a little less confusing, and a little more real.
Season 3, Episode 1 is for all the people who’ve asked me again and again
“What is this ESG you keep posting about?”
“What do you actually do?”
“Where is this even applied?”
And yes… the most important one:
“How do you earn money from this?” 💰
I haven’t answered that one in this episode.
This episode is for absolute beginners.
The kind where you can play it for anyone even your grandparents and grandchildren, and they’ll understand what ESG is trying to do.
Just the basics, explained the way I wish someone had explained it earlier.
Raw, simple, and honest.
Season 3 starts here.
