Amidst this highly unpredictable global tariff war, there’s a new announcement each day on the latest round of tariffs being levied - or lifted - by and against the incumbent Trump administration. But what does this all mean for sustainability, and how will it impact companies on their green transition?
This week on the Frankly Speaking podcast, Richard Howitt was joined by Joeri de Wilde, economist at Triodos Bank, which actively works towards creating a just and inclusive society with respect for the planet, and describes itself as a leader in sustainable banking.
Together they discussed the link between tariffs and sustainability, and whether the European Union hitting back with retaliatory tariffs was really the right response. You’ll also hear more about:
Triodos Bank’s criticism of the EU’s Clean Industrial Deal
Why it’s so difficult to quantify the tangible impact of the tariffs on sustainability so far
Whether there’s really the appetite to create new international partnerships to counter the impact of the tariff war on global sustainability commitments
