Episode Title: Episode 5: Putting People at the Heart of Transformative Change and Business Accountability
Episode Guest: Judith Wiese, Chief People and Sustainability Officer, Siemens
Synopsis:
In this episode, Bill interviews Judith Wiese, Chief People and Sustainability Officer, Siemens, a global technology company focused on creating technology with purpose to add real value for customers. The two discuss the challenges of embedding sustainability across a diverse portfolio, particularly amidst an increased demand for corporate transparency and accountability in many markets around the world. There is an expectation for credible, comparable, and consistent information to enable investors and capital markets to align with the values of a company.
Sustainability is now embedded in decision making, and increasingly as a factor in cost, and how customers and consumers are choosing products that they want to have in their portfolio. Bill discusses with Judith the importance of the power of people in driving trust and retaining values of companies – and how trust is earned, not given.
