Emma Scott: Inside Kent’s Real Zero Reality
from The Responsible Edge Podcast Hosted by Charlie Martin, Host
Can an oil and gas legacy company truly reach real zero? Kent’s VP of Sustainability faces the challenge head-on. Can a global engineering firm built on fossil fuel projects really lead the energy transition? In this episode of The Responsible Edge, Kent’s VP of Sustainability Emma Scott talks about what “real zero” looks like when your business still keeps the lights on for the world. Emma shares how she started from nothing — no emissions baseline, no clear data — and built a sustainability strategy grounded in facts, honesty, and uncomfortable truths. She explains why transparency matters more than perfection, and how progress in high-carbon industries depends on facing what’s real, not what’s easy. You’ll hear insight on: - The hard truth behind real zero vs net zero - Building sustainability inside a fossil fuel heritage business - Why honesty is the hardest — and most powerful — climate tool - How inclusion and well-being connect to real responsibility This is not a story of glossy wins — it’s about persistence, integrity, and progress from within. Watch now to learn how Emma Scott is helping Kent turn sustainability from an aspiration into action. #RealZero #Sustainability #EnergyTransition #ResponsibleLeadership #EmmaScott #KentEngineering
