Welcome to our next episode of Material Growth, a podcast of the Material Growth Network hosted by Substack. Find the network at materialgrowth.substack.com and join a community of entrepreneurs and business developers who are focused on growth and business-building in the materials industry.
Today’s episode is an Executive Roundtable that we hosted last year, with guest speaker Catherine Keenan.
Catherine is a member of the Board of Directors of Agilyx AS, an advanced plastics recycler. Previously, she was Head of Sustainability, Public Affairs and EHS for Trinseo, a $5B materials company. She is the Founder of her own consulting firm, Catherine C. Keenan Consulting which specializes in sustainability and ESG.
With 30+ years in the Chemical industry, Catherine has deep expertise in sustainability strategy development and ESG. She has built global sustainability programs with disclosure/public reporting aligned with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). She led the setting of 10-year sustainability goals for two global companies, and has positioned companies for improved scores on Environmental/Social/Governance (ESG) ratings frameworks.
Sustainability is THE hot topic in materials today. You can’t turn around but see a chemical company announcing a sustainability report or new initiative based on sustainability. But are all sustainability initiatives created equal? Where are the pitfalls or mirages in sustainability? I can’t think of a better person to help answer some of that than Catherine.
We touch on a variety of topics related to sustainability including: ESG Goal setting, Net Zero and climate initiatives, Product innovation, and the Circular Economy.
Get ready to have your thinking turned upside down as we speak with Catherine Keenan here at Material Growth.
