Bill Weihl continues to fight for climate policy progress

At the GreenBiz conference, Bill Weihl, a prominent figure in corporate sustainability and founder of ClimateVoice, delivered a memorable speech highlighting the importance of vocal employee activism in influencing corporate climate policies, despite losing his voice to ALS. Utilizing ElevenLabs' technology, Bill's speech was delivered using a Professional Voice Clone that closely resembled his real voice, moving the audience to a standing ovation. He emphasized the necessity for corporations to actively engage in shaping climate policy, as many fail to meet their climate goals and remain silent on policy issues. To address this, Bill and other leaders launched the LEAD statement, garnering support from numerous sustainability professionals advocating for policy action. The event underscored the potential of technology to aid accessibility and support individuals with ALS in continuing their advocacy efforts.
