Spheres of Influence: How Will You Contribute to Societal Net Zero?
Reaching societal net zero will take more than reducing operational emissions. Companies shape climate outcomes through their supply chains, financial decisions, policy engagement, and the signals they send to markets and culture.
This panel brings together leaders across technology, finance, and sustainability to explore how companies can accelerate climate progress by expanding their influence beyond their direct footprint. Grounded in the concept of Spheres of Influence, the conversation will unpack how organizations are identifying and acting on the areas where they can accelerate their climate impact.
Attendees will learn what it means to scale climate influence in practice and how leading organizations are integrating climate into financial decision-making. Speakers will share real examples of how this is showing up today, and what it takes to turn influence into measurable impact.
Speakers include:
Daniel Witt, Director of State Policy, Lucid Motors
Sophia Gluck, Senior Sustainability & Responsible Technology Manager, Okta
Angela Ortlieb, Sustainability Strategist, Futerra
Joe Speicher, Chief Sustainability Officer, Autodesk
Patrick Flynn, Topo Finance and Switchboard
