In this podcast episode Shamini Harrington, Vice President: Climate Change at Sasol & Presidential Climate Change Commissioner for South Africa discusses the challenges of managing a Just Transition strategy. Moving away from a fossil fuel base requires helping employees to make the transition to new jobs by building skills and capabilities, as well as working with suppliers to help them adjust their business models to renewable energy conditions and more. Shamini explains how Sasol is forging collaborative networks and what benefits they bring in jointly managing the change. Going beyond the company approach she shares the importance of the impact of governmental policies on creating a good base for developing ‘just’ solutions to the climate challenge.
