Why Cheap Products Cost the Planet More
Podcast: The Atomic Exchange PodcastPublished On: Fri Jun 26 2026
Description: In Episode 71 of The Atomic Exchange Podcast, Dr. Goran Calic and Jennifer Ward explore two management studies on sustainability and environmental policy. They discuss the pollution haven effect, where firms outsource production to countries with weak environmental standards to cut costs, and why companies delay going truly sustainable by relying on cheap "compensating actions" instead. The conversation includes Canada's new nuclear strategy and what it would actually take to make environmental policy work. A candid look at how profit motives drive outsourcing and why transparency matters more than feel-good gestures.
