亚历山大是森普拉公司负责企业事务的高级副总裁兼首席可持续发展官,在那里她经常被提醒她的团队对人们的影响.

“在Sempra, 我们相信每个人的工作都应该为我们的可持续商业实践做出贡献,并帮助推进可持续发展 能源过渡亚历山大说。. “我们都必须成为可持续发展的实践者,因为我们作为一个集体团队的表现决定了我们在提供可靠服务方面的成功程度, 更实惠 清洁能源 对我们所服务的人民.”

亚历山大将很快参加 纽约气候周, 最大的年度气候事件之一,汇集了来自世界各地的决策者. Chief 可持续性 officers, like Alex和er, will gather to talk about 气候行动倡议 underway 和 share their ideas to help the world reach net zero. However, 为 Alex和er, the term “可持续性” exp和s beyond best 环境al practices.

At Sempra, Alex和er is driving responsible business practices with the aim to grow 股东价值 在各方面. She believes that doing well 为 shareholders starts with doing well 为 the 环境, the business, the industry 和 most importantly, people — which includes 投资者, employees, consumers 和 other stakeholders 和 their communities. 森普拉的一名员工 公司家族 十几年了, Alex和er currently leads a diverse team that includes 政府ernment affairs, 品牌, 策略性沟通及活动, 可持续性, 公司给 政治服从和报告.

推动能源转型

Sempra’s sustainable business practices begin at the leadership level. 亚历山大的任务是将内部和外部利益相关者聚集在一起,制定可实现的行动计划,帮助实现能源转型. 但是Alex和er并不仅仅局限于指导Sempra,她还通过类似于the的组织与其他公司和政策制定者分享Sempra的许多最佳实践 世界经济论坛.

“看到人们走到一起是令人振奋的,”亚历山大说. “A few years ago, the narrative of the just 能源过渡 was largely aspirational. 今天, 利益相关者正聚在一起,就能源以及如何实现这一目标展开更务实、更明智的对话 做正确的事脱碳, 能源安全 和负担能力. Our company is well-positioned to take on the 能源过渡, 和 we are proud to collaborate with stakeholders 为 the benefit of all people.”

丽莎·亚历山大站在纽约证券交易所的讲台后面然而,亚历山大说,前面还有挑战. For one, there’s a need 为 new technologies to advance 清洁能源 目标. 报告, 包括国际能源署, 建议实现全球净零排放目标所需的50%的技术目前尚不存在. 思想的多样性 将是至关重要的驱动 创新 整个行业. 其次,人们担心负担能力.

“发达国家是 移动得更快 而不是发展中国家,”亚历山大说. “A lot of people believe the 能源过渡 will be a smooth reduction of 排放 随着时间的推移. 我相信,在我们努力减少排放的同时,也为客户提供负担得起的可靠能源解决方案的过程中,仍存在很多不确定性. 我们得想办法 导航, together, so we are working toward a more just 能源过渡.”
