Summary

This quest for sustainability requires action on many fronts with changes to supply networks, manufacturing processes, and business models.

Episode Description

Across industries, the great clean-up is underway. Driven by tightening regulations, pressure from investors, and shifting customer preferences, companies are striving to reduce the burden of their activities on the planet. Conventional wisdom has always been that reaching for Net Zero is a holy grail, only possible through heavy investments on the one side and sacrificing margins on the other. However, environmental responsibility doesn't have to be at odds with productivity and by extension profitability.

Join the conversation with John Revess, Director of Net Zero Transformation at the World Business Council for Sustainable Development; McKinsey experts, Peter Spiller and Ruth Heuss; and host Daphne Luchtenberg, McKinsey’s Operations Practice Director of Communications.
