668: The ESG Imperative: Balancing the Attainable With the Aspirational w/ Adam Hunt

“I think a large part of the ESG model is about bringing each other up together – capacity building – and learning from each other.” - Adam Hunt, Global SVP Procurement & Subcontracting, Exyte

While ESG is becoming a top-line priority for the C-suite, the regulations, laws, expectations, and concepts underlying ESG are still relatively new – new to procurement and to the business as a whole. They can be challenging to pin down. 

ESG is broad and complex, with each region, industry, or organization defining and measuring success in different ways.  

Philip Ideson recently had the opportunity to speak with Adam Hunt, Global SVP Procurement and Subcontracting at Exyte, about the most important issues driving the current conversation around ESG and how procurement can evolve and elevate their ESG programs to meet the increasing interest coming from company leadership. 

Along with a discussion of AI’s role in all this, they also discussed: 

• How to build a globally successful ESG program by understanding regional and cultural differences and regulations
• How to use data to power your ESG program
• The art of setting ESG targets that balance the attainable with the aspirational
