Climate Confident From Bronze to Gold: Bridgette McAdoo's Climate Success Story at Genesys
In today's Climate Confident episode I had the privilege of sitting down with Bridgette McAdoo, the Director of Sustainability at Genesys. In our conversation, we covered a wide range of topics related to sustainability and what it means for Genesys and the world.
We started by discussing the importance of sustainability and the role it plays in Genesys’ business strategy. Bridgette emphasized how sustainability is not just a buzzword, but a key factor in driving the company's success. She also shared her personal journey and how she ended up in this role, and the impact she has had since she joined Genesys.
We then talked about some of the sustainability initiatives that Genesys is undertaking, and their impact. Bridgette shared how the company is working with its suppliers to make sure they are following sustainable practices and how they are using platforms like Ecovadis and CDP to monitor their progress.
One of the highlights of our conversation was when Bridgette shared the impressive progress that Genesys has made over the past year and a half. We talked about how the company has moved from a bronze rating to a gold rating from Ecovadis, and from a D rating to a B rating from CDP, proving that Genesys is not just setting goals, but is actively working to be a leader in sustainability.
Lastly, we talked about the lessons learned from this journey and the importance of being agile, flexible, and patient. Bridgette emphasized that it's not possible to change everything overnight, but by taking it one step at a time, we can achieve great things.
