Secure World Foundation is pleased to release Episode 7 of ESG in Space, a limited podcast series co-produced with Exponential Academy and hosted by Nishan Degnarain and Miki Sode. In this new episode, sustainability expert Sabrina Alam joins the hosts to offer a European perspective on integrating ESG into space industry operations. With a career spanning NASA, ESA, SES Satellites, and now KPMG Luxembourg, Sabrina offers unmatched insight into the regulatory, commercial, and design-based approaches driving sustainable innovation in Europe’s space ecosystem.
Sabrina discusses the implementation of mandatory ESG reporting frameworks like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), and how these frameworks are influencing procurement, satellite design, and risk planning. She highlights how European companies are embedding sustainability principles at every level, viewing ESG as a long-term strategic advantage, not a regulatory burden.
This episode sheds light on why Europe’s approach is being closely watched around the world, especially as questions of equity, transparency, and sustainability increasingly shape the future of commercial space activity.
