Redefining Sustainable Business in 2025 - A Live Conversation with Reagan Richmond and Eban Goodstein

In this special live episode recorded at Bard College's Brooklyn campus, host Renay Loper sits down with Reagan Richmond, a 2017 Bard MBA graduate who consults Fortune 500 companies on climate strategy, and Eban Goodstein, who leads Bard's Graduate Programs in Sustainability. They explore how to navigate sustainable business in an increasingly polarized political landscape, discussing Reagan's diagnostic framework for companies facing pushback and the evolution of sustainability leadership from pioneering figureheads to thousands of practitioners worldwide. Key insights include using resilience as a unifying narrative, integrating climate and nature risk assessment, and the growing influence of the Global South in driving environmental progress.
