Why Corporate Sustainability Reporting Is Failing Our Planet with B Lorraine Smith

In this episode of Moral Footprint, host Jeni Miles speaks with B. Lorraine Smith, a bold and visionary voice in sustainable business, about the deep disconnect between corporate sustainability claims and reality. Lorraine shares her decades of experience in ESG and why she ultimately stepped away, disillusioned by the industry's focus on reporting over real change.


They explore:

✅ Why traditional ESG frameworks fail to address systemic issues

✅ The dangers of corporate greenwashing and branding over substance

✅ Lorraine’s matereality framework—a radical shift to centering life instead of profit

✅ The tough questions businesses avoid about their own impact

✅ How individuals can reclaim their agency and challenge the status quo


If you’ve ever wondered why corporate sustainability feels like a façade—or how to move beyond it—this conversation is essential listening.
