This episode of our regular podcast biotech voices Join us for an in-depth conversation with Jeffrey Whitford, vice president of sustainability and social business innovation at MilliporeSigma, the life sciences division of Merck KGaA.
Mr. Whitford will discuss the company's interim and long-term sustainability efforts and provide a detailed overview of how the company seeks to achieve its goals. The conversation further develops into discussing how essential people are when it comes to sustainability.
He believes that what is important from a sustainability perspective is not meeting people where they are, but ensuring that they meet people where they are in order to develop an understanding of why and how to achieve their objectives. We advocate the idea that meeting is important.
According to Whitford, education (both personal and academic) is essential to building an unbreakable chain for sustainability. He talks about MilliporeSigma's academic partnerships and the goal of making them global. Additionally, he concluded the conversation by adding that in order to really make a difference, you sometimes have to live with some discomfort and be prepared to embrace change.
