In this episode of the Future of Finance podcast, Georges Dyer sits down with Grant Harrison, Vice President of Sustainable Finance and ESG at Trellis Group. Formerly known as GreenBiz, Trellis is a hub for corporate sustainability professionals, convening communities through editorial content, events, and a growing professional network. Grant shares insights on the evolution of Trellis, the shift from reporting to implementation in sustainability, and how companies are navigating political headwinds, particularly in the U.S.
They explore critical trends such as greenhushing, the emergence of the ESG controller role, the integration of sustainability across departments, and the tension between short-term financial incentives and long-term value creation. The episode also touches on AI’s role in ESG reporting, the rise of net-zero accountability, and the increasing importance of system-level investing. Grant’s reflections offer both realism and optimism about building a financially and environmentally sustainable future.
