What if your renewable energy strategy could deliver real impact beyond carbon reduction?

In this episode, host Emma Cox is joined by Dana Clare Redden, founder of Solar Stewards, for a robust conversation on what it means to center equity in sustainability– especially in today’s complex geopolitical environment. Together, they discuss how innovative tools like social renewable energy credits (social RECs) shift the narrative around community engagement, climate action, and corporate responsibility.

Dana shares her journey and the experiences that shaped her vision, offering a powerful reminder of why authentic, community-driven solutions matter more than ever.

Tune in for fresh insights that challenge the status quo and reimagine what ESG can look like when communities lead the way.
