Anyone who doubts that sustainability is back on the corporate todo list need look no further than GM’s commitment to all-electric vehicles. More than ever, customers are demanding it from the companies they do business with. That comes as no surprise to Katie Schindall, the director of Cisco’s circular economy initiatives.
In this episode of The Rebound, Schindall discusses Cisco’s cross-functional approach to product design, manufacturing and logistics and lifecycle management through a sustainability lens. She also offers lessons for any organization about to launch its own journey in the circular economy.
