In this bonus episode, Host Angie Dickson, President of the Inogen Alliance and EVP of Antea Group USA, speaks with Sofiane, a Senior EHS Consultant with Baden Consulting in Switzerland. Sofiane walks through the extraordinary remediation of a major hazardous waste site, one of the largest and most complex environmental cleanup projects in Swiss history. He explains how decades of contamination were safely excavated, contained, and transformed into a site that now serves both the environment and the surrounding community.

Guest Quote
