Om denne podcast
Welcome to The Resilience Report, where we go beyond the headlines to spotlight the trailblazers redefining sustainable business. In each episode, host Lauren Scott sits down with ecopreneurs and lighthouse leaders—visionaries who are tackling our planet’s toughest challenges and proving that business can be a force for good.
Lauren has spent more than a decade working in the cleantech space, and specializes in translating climate initiatives into meaningful action to deliver on commitments to the building and renewables sectors. Her marketing and communications background is leveraged to promote social and environmental responsibility as an approachable, yet critical part of business operations. Scott’s career has been marked by being named one of Montreal’s Top 50 Women Leaders (2025), by her nomination as a 2020 Woman of Inspiration by the Universal Women's Network, as well as being shortlisted as Industry Woman of the Year by the ControlTrends Awards (2020).
