Global Sustainability Trends

April 1, 2022 – Haworth Connect hosted Amy Haddon today for a webinar about global sustainability trends. The recorded webinar is available here.  There was a time when sustainability efforts in business were seen as going above and beyond. But that is no longer the case. Today, they are imperative for the well-being of people and our planet. Customers, investors and jobseekers alike are also taking notice.

Haddon, Schneider Electric’s Vice President of Global Sustainability Communications, shared the latest climate-related business trends and what companies are doing to achieve sustainability goals.

“Having a more efficient operation means that you save money, as well,” said Haddon. “And so, they're responding to those pressures, but they're not doing so merely out of the goodness of anyone's heart. It makes the business more resilient and it improves the bottom line.”
