I had the great opportunity to host a roundtable discussion on setting science-based targets at Sustainable Brands’ 2018 New Metrics conference in Philadelphia in October. Science-based targets (SBTs) have received a growing amount of research interest and company attention over the past five years. Currently, 515 companies worldwide are engaged in setting and validating SBTs through the Science Based Targets Initiative—a steep increase from the 14 companies who were engaged in this process four years ago.

I hate to garden. I am the type of person who would rather sit at my desk on a sunny summer day than plant seeds, pull weeds, or harvest anything. So it will surprise those who know me best that I just finished a ‘20-year’ stint as the Director of Forestry in Uruguay, on a team that launched a successful bio-products ‘business’ on the Rio Negro River outside of the city of Mercedes, and I loved every minute of it.
