Episode Notes

In this podcast, guest Sarah Watt joins host Thomas O’Connor to discuss sustainability trends as we celebrate Earth Day.

 

Some of the biggest environmental impacts are within the value chain, including in the sourcing of raw materials. CSCOs, as custodians of environmental impact, also face external pressures. For example, investors are paying much closer attention to environmental, social and governance performance. Climate change risks are also an important topic to employees, who expect companies to take action on sustainability.

 

This conversation touches on three key trends — changing greenhouse gas emissions, long-term resource preservation, and the use of technology to drive sustainability.
