Uwe Bergmann, Director ESG Business Integration at Henkel, joins Prof. Dr. Laura Marie Edinger-Schons as a guest in this episode of The Sustainable Business Podcast to discuss past and current challenges in sustainability management. Based on his experience of more than twenty years at Henkel, he was lucky enough to build on the expertise of important sustainability pioneers, working towards standardization and certification approaches, formulating sustainability visions, and implementing them in strategy and practice. For him, achieving the vision of 9+ billion people living well within the limits of our planet requires data transparency, efficiency improvements, and the smart use of digital tools. However, he finds it most essential to engage employees and other stakeholders in the journey towards sustainability, navigating between clarity of purpose and employees’ willingness to support.
