HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm excited to have Dr. Jane Smith with us. She's an expert in sustainable investment and the lead instructor for the Graduate Certificate in Ethical Waste Management Investing. Dr. Smith, can you tell us a bit about what inspired you to create this course? GUEST: Absolutely, I've seen a growing need for professionals who can navigate the complex world of sustainable investment, especially in waste management. I wanted to create a program that would equip learners with the skills to analyze ethical investment strategies and promote responsible business decisions. HOST: That's fantastic. Now, what are some current trends in waste reduction and environmental responsibility that students can expect to learn about in this course? GUEST: Students will explore topics like circular economy principles, zero-waste initiatives, and sustainable supply chain management. We also delve into the role of renewable energy and carbon capture technologies in waste management. HOST: It sounds like a comprehensive program. I'm sure there are challenges in this field, what do you find to be the most significant obstacle when it comes to ethical waste management investing? GUEST: One major challenge is the lack of standardization and regulation in the field. It can be difficult to compare the environmental performance of different companies and investments. Additionally, there's a need for more transparent reporting of environmental impact data. HOST: That's quite challenging indeed. Now, looking towards the future, where do you see the industry heading, and how will this course prepare students for those changes? GUEST: I believe we'll see increased demand for professionals who can bridge the gap between environmental science, finance, and policy. Our course equips students with a solid foundation in ethical waste management investing, preparing them to be leaders in this growing field and contribute to a more sustainable future.
