Real Sustainability: How Oil and Gas Can Navigate the Era of Climate Justice & Woke Capitalism

July 23, 2023 Tisha Schuller

Oil and gas are being squeezed today—by climate activists and ESG stakeholder expectations on the one side and a loud anti-ESG, anti-woke capitalism movement on the other. So what’s the smart path forward for our industry? That’s what Tisha Schuller’s new talk reveals.

Oil and gas leaders are caught between the opposing forces of ESG expectations and anti-ESG backlash. And yet leading companies are not only continuing their ESG and decarbonization efforts, they are optimizing them. Why? And, how? In this talk, Tisha conveys what she’s learned from industry leaders since writing her most recent book, Real Decarbonization ®: How Oil and Gas Companies Are Seizing the Low-Carbon Future. The result? Real sustainability work is the missing piece oil and gas leaders are using to rise above climate activism pressure, growing environmental justice expectations, woke capitalism, and empty ESG. Through this talk, you’ll learn: how to reconcile directional ESG pressure with the rapid swings of the political pendulum; what makes ESG and decarbonization real and therefore sustainable; and, how to avoid the political perils of seeming to overreact and then overcorrect to both climate activism and anti-ESG efforts.
