September 29, 2026 · 48 min

Show notes

Sustainability has spent years building the business case, but the low-hanging fruit has largely been picked. The challenge now is finding the more difficult, higher-value opportunities that can drive growth and resilience.

In this special live episode of Purposing, Becky is on the ground in New York for Climate Week, exploring how organisations can move from sustainability ambition to action, and build strategies that deliver both business value and positive impact.

Joining Becky for this discussion is an expert panel of sustainability leaders:

  • Kevin Eckerle, Head of Environmental Affairs at Bayer Consumer Health
  • Marissa Saretsky, Chief Sustainability Officer at Opella
  • Eric Johnston, Head of Corporate Affairs & Sustainability at Nestlé Waters & Premium Beverages
  • April LaCroix, Global Head of Strategy at Anthesis

In this conversation, you’ll hear how sustainability leaders are turning carbon into capital, making the case for investment and finding the “Actionable Edge”, where ambitious ideas meet practical action. And listen out for a few hot takes along the way, along with questions from the audience on what it really takes to turn sustainability into business value.
