TriplePundit reported live from the Fortune Brainstorm Green 2014 conference in Laguna Niguel, CA. Follow along on this page for ongoing video interviews with sustainability thought leaders, corporate change agents and entrepreneurs who are leading the way to a more sustainable future.

In my second interview at Fortune Brainstorm Green last week I got to talk to Alcoa's Chief Sustainability Officer, Kevin McKnight. Alcoa is a well-regarded leader in sustainability, with some of its industry's most rigorous and long-standing sustainability initiatives. Kevin provides insight into Alcoa's leadership—both on how and what it makes. We also went into some of the details around Alcoa's recent success in the automotive industry helping make cars much lighter, and therefor more fuel efficient.
