Jeff Wooster, global sustainability director at Dow, joined GreenBiz Editorial Director Heather Clancy, who hosted the Sidebar, to discuss the company’s circular economy goals. Wooster notes that one of the goals is to increase the amount of materials it reclaims to use in its products. Its also working on chemical recycling. “It’s really our goal to try to let consumers put all of their plastic back into the system,” Wooster said. “We’re not there today but that’s what we’re working towards, that’s our vision.”
HSBC’s Paul Stanley, senior manager of corporate sustainability, joined Heather Clancy and Sarah Golden, Sidebar cohosts during GreenBiz 20, to discuss the company’s sustainability program. Stanley says HSBC has been involved with its clients’ sustainability work for a long time but didn’t talk about it publicly until a couple years ago when it announced five commitments.
