Welcome to AccelPro Audit, where we provide expert interviews and coaching to accelerate your professional development. Today we’re featuring a conversation with David Gelles, reporter on the New York Times climate team and leader of The Times’s Climate Forward newsletter and events series.
Here on AccelPro Audit we usually talk to auditors, regulators, academics and regulators. But today we’re talking to a journalist at one of the world’s most respected newspapers. Why? With years of business reporting under his belt and a recent promotion to the head of up the Times’ Climate Forward newsletter, Gelles has a unique perch from which to view and understand the greater cultural context companies face when they’re doing ESG reporting.
In this conversation, he talks about the increasingly perilous political crosswinds companies must navigate, the rising risk of legal liability around environmental issues, why he still finds most companies’ ESG reporting lacking and finally, why he keeps a framed rejection letter from the New York Times on his desk.
