In this episode, hosts Chris and Mark speak with two leaders from the Silicon Valley company, Applied Materials: Chris Librie, outgoing Head of ESG, and Elena Kocherovsky, Climate Program Director. The discussion dives into the uniquely successful approach Applied Materials has taken to decarbonization and the evolution of their sustainability strategy. Chris and Elena explain how the ways Applied Materials has approached governance, internal and external collaboration, and their focus on making the company's sustainability efforts profitable have made it possible for the company to stay on track toward its net zero aspirations even in an era when many other companies have reduced or pushed back timelines related to their climate ambitions. They also discuss the importance of planning sustainability leadership transitions when roles and team composition change.
