For Greg Jackson, CEO of Octopus Energy, business leaders who do not recognize the practical and economical opportunities in the world of clean energy and sustainability are being “lazy.”
“We've got a planet with eight or nine billion people. I think we should be putting everything we can on the table and not being lazy and solving this problem,” Jackson told the crowd on a panel at the TIME100 Climate Leadership Forum on Sept. 24 in New York City.
Jackson was joined by fellow 2024 TIME100 Climate honorees Wally Adeyemo, former deputy secretary and COO at the U.S. Treasury, and Pam Cheng, executive vice president and chief sustainability officer of biopharmaceutical company AstraZeneca, a sponsor of the event.
