In this edition of the Lubes’n’Greases podcast, our special sustainability contributor Apu Gosalia presents the key moments in the sustainability calendar so far in 2023. Apu frames them as the four elements of antiquity – earth, water, air and fire – but in a modern and urgent context.
We discuss the groundbreaking United Nations COP15 Biodiversity Conference in Montreal to protect Earth’s wildlife; the lubricant industry’s large water footprint as it relates to the UN Sustainable Development Goal number 6; the dismal reading that is the latest IPCC report and its analysis of atmospheric CO2; Germany’s insistence on an exemption for the combustion of controversial e-fuels, as well as solar power; and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive.
Listen to the podcast to find out how all of this relates to your lubricants business.
