Welcome to Tactical Tuesday, a short-form conversation with subject-matter experts designed to give you practical tools, tips, and advice for building your solar business or career. 

I got great feedback on episode 183 back in September with my friend and returning guest Karin Berardo where we touched on the topic of ESG. It’s clear that ESG is a hot topic these days, and it’s also clear that it’s not one that’s well understood. So, Karin is back to give us a primer on the subject to which she’s now dedicating most of her time.

Today we discuss the increasingly important role sustainable and socially responsible investing is commanding for Corporate and Institutional investors, and the Environment, Social and Governance criteria that are driving the adoption worldwide.

While you're there, I’d be honored if you’d take 2 min and fill out our Listener Survey. I’ll be doing a drawing soon as a Holiday gift pulling from our Survey takers (if you leave your email of course) and our email subscribers to gift a 1-yr membership to the SunCast Tribe Premium Membership. And stay tuned later in the week for a Special Black Friday/Cyber Monday offer - to get details, subscribe to the Tribe! You’ll find the survey and subscription options on the homepage and thanks again for helping us learn how to better serve you!
