BASF Canada: How to drive superior levels sustainability engagement through employees and other stakeholders

Explore the transformative power of employee-led initiatives and supply chain alignment in achieving sustainable goals with Eva Musso from BASF

In this episode, Eva Musso – Head of Sustainability and Government Relations for BASF Canada, talks with Alex about why BASF Canada has had such a strong focus on employee and supply chain sustainability engagement programmes and the value of this activity to the business.

Sustainability cannot be the remit of just one person, but many companies find the scale of the issue and the busyness of staff can be a block to meaningful engagement. So have Eva and her team achieved great results?

We explore:

  • How Eva’s background in Government brought a different lens to the challenge
  • The context and goals for the engagement element of her sustainability strategy
  • The goals the Sustain YOU program and employee response
  • The most innovative projects to come out of the Site Emission Reduction Challenge and why making it an employee-led competition made a difference
  • How employee-driven programs shift the culture of sustainability within a global corporation
  • How partnering with external organizations like Bull Frog Power & Iron and Earth, link to sustainability objectives
  • How to engage suppliers to align with BASF’s decarbonization targets – and the role of BASF’s digital application for calculating the cradle-to-gate Product Carbon Footprint (PCF)
