10/12/23 • 12 min

At the 2023 edition of the North American Sustainability & Responsibility Summit series we sat down with Stephen Molen, the Chief Revenue Officer of Cority, to talk about how more and more Environmental Health and Safety professionals have seen their company's Sustainability performance become part of their role. Why is that a natural fit for so many organizations? How does it change the existing EHS function? What should business leaders understand about this trend to help their EHS people better gather, document, and report on ESG performance? How is technology helping these people broaden and deepen their capabilities and skillsets? We discuss all this and more. Give this episode a listen!
