With edie readers working remotely or on furlough, this exclusive series of video interviews keeps you connected to the inspirational business leaders who are continuing to drive sustainability and champion climate action from their own homes.

#SustyTalk is all about keeping edie’s loyal readers connected to sustainable business leaders across the world, whilst reminding us all that sustainability and climate action must go on through the current Covid-19 pandemic and beyond. 

The latest episode sees edie’s senior reporter Sarah George speaking with Budweiser Brewing Group’s head of procurement & sustainability Mauricio Coindreau.

This discussion took place shortly after Budweiser Brewing Group achieved a pledge to power all breweries and operations with 100% renewable electricity. The firm has invested in a combination of onsite generation and power purchase agreements (PPAs) to achieve this milestone, working with partners including CleanEarth Energy. 

In this interview, Coindreau outlines some of his key learnings from the process in the hopes of helping listeners looking to generate and/or procure their own renewable energy. 

He also outlines how businesses can better embed sustainability in procurement decisions and other key departments, to show true leadership in the run-up to COP26.
