Breaking down silos: How one of the world’s biggest software companies approaches collaboration
Manage episode 400626817 series 2734211
At the ESG Insider podcast, we’ve been hearing a key theme on repeat: Solutions to climate change and biodiversity loss require collaboration across silos. In this 'Breaking down silos' miniseries of the podcast, we’re bringing you examples of how collaboration across different groups of stakeholders happens in practice.
Today in Part II, we hear the perspective of one of the world’s largest software companies in our interview with Stephen Jamieson, Global Head of Circular Economy Solutions at SAP. Stephen says a behavior shift is required to address big sustainability challenges.
“The solutions to climate change, the solutions to biodiversity … it's in the behavior of how people are working and collaborating with businesses and how they consume products,” Stephen says.
And policy is “critical to enabling action,” he tells us. “This then stimulates the rest of the activity — stimulates that need for businesses to innovate, to find solutions, to be able to go and drive the reframing of the value proposition, discovering reuse solutions, how to scale infrastructure,” he says.
