Speaking from Rome, ,��CEO and general manager of��, talked about how the Italy-based global energy company and utility provider adapted in the early days of the pandemic, and discussed the future of renewable energy and the critical societal role played by business. "This is a��crisis that forces everyone—governments, companies, each part of the��society—to rethink��the essence of its own being,” Starace said.

In another early episode, Bhattacharya discussed the future of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the role of political systems during this crisis with Columbia University Professor Jeffrey Sachs, director of its�� and director of the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network.

Bhattacharya discussed the urgency of collaboration with Paul Polman, former CEO of��, cofounder of��, and chair of the��, who spoke from London about what it means to be a responsible business in these times, and how CEOs can work together to build a new global green economy.

Once the virus is under control, a strong recovery is needed, Polman said. “And no better��recovery than recovering in the direction of a more resilient future,” he said. “Moving to a green economy is in fact the growth opportunity of the��century,” Polman said. “Just in the next 10 years, it��will unlock $26 trillion of��economic opportunity and create 65 million jobs. And, above all, it actually��prevents��700,000 deaths per year.”

And, closer to home, Bhattacharya discussed the need for strong networks in creating more resilient cities with Grant Ervin, Pittsburgh’s chief resilience officer and sustainability manager, who talked about the role industry partners can play in implementing digital, environmental and food systems innovations.

“We are seeing more clearly that we are in this together. We live in a shared space and the actions we take affect the wellbeing of us all,” said Bhattacharya, who also is the H.J. Zoffer Chair in Sustainability and Ethics and professor of marketing and management at Pitt’s��.

“Collaboration is the future,” he wrote in his 2019 book, “”��which demonstrates, based on his research worldwide, the value of promoting sustainability as core to a company’s purpose and the need for broad partnerships to address societal issues.

“This mindset has become more crucial as we face this pandemic challenge,” he said. “We need to emerge with an even stronger collaborative mindset–for our own collective survival,” Bhattacharya said. “When collaboration breaks down, everyone stands to lose.”
