Better Heroes is back with a new episode just in time for Climate Week in New York City!

Have you heard the acronym ESG? We’ve definitely mentioned it once or twice on the show. It stands for environmental, social, and governance. These are three areas where businesses have become far more conscious of their impact on the world and are evolving in their ability to quantify and disclose their impacts, risks and opportunities for each.

In this episode, Elise Saur, EY Responsible Business Leader, and Brian Finch, Vice President of Sustainability at Mastercard, join us to talk about the importance of measuring a company’s sustainability impact.

They’ll talk about what responsible business really means and why sustainability reporting matters.

Neurodiversity is an asset in the workplace but employers haven’t always been ready for it. Research shows that when neurodiverse people are properly supported, they come up with more novel ideas and better serve customers.

Supportive technology has changed the game in this regard. Things like AI, can help people focus on their strengths while filling in the gaps where they might have a weakness.

One of our guests today is Martin McKay. He is the co-founder and CEO of Texthelp. A company that provides digital tools to those who need a little more help understanding and communicating in the workplace. In recognition of his work, Martin was EY Ireland’s Entrepreneur of the year.

Our other guest is Gillian Hinde, EY Global Corporate Responsibility Leader. Gill and the EY Ripples team have a goal to impact 1 billion lives by 2030!
