Sustainability in the corporate world is changing so quickly. Over the past few years alone, investors, boards and companies have suddenly all had to understand the ESG considerations of their respective ecosystems. Many are feeling overwhelmed by the speed of change, even those who are lucky enough to have an in-house sustainability lead. Which is why the solution in speaking to many of our guests is seeking out an external sustainability consultant. In fact, this is one area that you, our listeners, have specifically requested we dive in deeper. 

Our next guest has been at the forefront of sustainability consulting for over 16 years and the financial space for over three decades: Milla Craig. 

Milla is President and CEO of Millani Inc., an independent advisory firm helping investors integrate ESG issues into their investment decisions, companies communicate their material ESG issues to investors, boards of directors understand their ESG responsibilities and capital markets participants create their proprietary ESG strategies.

On this episode, we unpack how Millani bridges the gap between investors and companies, what the sustainability consulting world looked like when the company was founded, and how it’s evolved over nearly two decades. We also discuss the rise of in-house sustainability experts, the impacts of game-changing legislation like California’s SB-253 and CSRD, how investors can sift through the fluff. And as ESG becomes a hot-button issue, we’ll discuss strategies for advancing sustainability in ways that resonate across industries and ideologies. Finally, for those of you tuning in who are early in your careers, we’ll explore what it takes to work with a leading firm like Millani. 

This episode is packed with insights, advice, and actionable takeaways for anyone passionate about ESG in the capital markets space.
