SES’s sustainability journey: ESG in orbit with Amber Ledgerwood

Welcome to our sustainability and environmental, social and governance (ESG) podcast series. Each episode features business leaders from across the telecoms, media and technology (TMT) industry who discuss what sustainability and ESG means to them, their organisation and the industry as a whole.
