Episode 18: "Corporate Sustainability Strategy during COVID-19 — with Rebecca Marmot (Part 2)"

In this episode, CSB Director CB Bhattacharya is joined once again 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 the business case for sustainability, investor relations, and the future of the consumer goods industry post-COVID-19: “Half the world’s total GDP is moderately or highly dependent on nature and its services. […] So, I think the business case behind doing that [reducing carbon footprint] is much better now and more widely understood and accepted.” 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.
