Sustainability After the Hype: What Smart Companies Do Next

Описание: What does sustainability really mean for your business right now?

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Kevin Dooley of Arizona State University to explore the evolving role of sustainability in procurement, manufacturing, and supply chain management. With nearly 30 years at ASU and 18 years serving as chief scientist at The Sustainability Consortium, Dooley brings deep experience working alongside major retailers and global brands to develop sustainability criteria across product categories, including cleaning products.

Is sustainability still worth investing in? Or are we past the peak of the hype cycle?

Dooley introduces the concept of the “Gartner Hype Curve” to explain where sustainability stands today. While some companies are stepping back from aggressive commitments and reporting requirements are shifting in places like Europe and California, he argues that this is not a retreat. It’s maturation. Businesses are moving beyond buzzwords and into practical value creation.
