Carbon Calories: Decoding Product Emissions with a Nutrition Label | ESG Decoded Podcast #159

What if tracking carbon emissions was as simple as counting calories? In this episode, host Erika Schiller welcomes Julie Mulkerin Ortiz, General Manager of Decarbonization Strategy at Chevron, to break down the complexities of carbon accounting using a relatable analogy—nutrition labels. Just as calorie counting helps consumers make informed dietary choices, standardized carbon accounting allows businesses to measure, compare, and reduce their GHG Emissions.Together, they discuss why accurate carbon data is essential for competitiveness in a lower-carbon economy and how inconsistencies in current reporting create challenges for businesses and global trade. Julie highlights key solutions, including using real data over estimated data, standardizing emissions allocation, and increasing transparency throughout supply chains.
