Episode 17: "Corporate Sustainability Strategy during COVID-19 — with Rebecca Marmot (Part 1)"

In this episode, CSB Director CB Bhattacharya is joined from London, United Kingdom by Rebecca Marmot, Chief Sustainability Officer at Unilever, a multinational consumer goods company with products used by 2.5 billion people each day. Ms. Marmot discusses Unilever’s ongoing commitment to social and environmental goals, the importance of gender equity, and what it means for each individual to do their part: “Sustainability really sits at the heart of what we’re doing, so it’s not for us about an add-on or a plan that is distinct from the business, but actually just doing business in a different way.” Sign up to receive weekly episodes right to your inbox: bit.ly/csbpodcastemail Submit your "Sustaining Sustainability" feedback and/or questions: bit.ly/csbpodcastfeedback This episode was researched, recorded, edited, and produced by Prof. CB Bhattacharya, Dr. Leslie Marshall, Alyssa Martinec, and Jonatas R.
