On 22 September, hundreds of leading sustainability executives gathered for Sustainability LIVE: Climate Week NYC. The event, positioned at the start of Climate Week NYC, featured challenging keynotes and panels that dug deep into the issues faced by sustainability leaders.

After they came off stage, we chatted with PepsiCo CSO Jim Andrew and NetApp CSO Nicola Acutt – both keynote speakers – and AWS Director, Sustainability, Chris Walker, who was fresh from the Route to Net Zero panel.

“ We need to do all these things to change systems with much greater levels of acceleration. So speed is fine, but we need to actually accelerate”
