The answer is not black or white.
InPact is happy to share the outcome of its Transformative Project in collaboration with E4S on an important and highly topical subject.
How to assess nuclear energy through an ESG lens, balancing climate benefits against long-term environmental, social and governance risks?
Rather than debating whether nuclear is “sustainable” or not, the project delivers a structured framework to navigate the grey zones:
- climate impact
- social acceptance
- governance and safety
- long-term ethical considerations
Built on internationally recognized data, the result is not a decision-making shortcut, but a tool to:
- make trade-offs explicit
- highlight uncertainties
- support informed, transparent dialogue
While nuclear energy was the case study, the framework is designed to apply to other technologies facing similar ESG tensions.
