Some of the most useful perspectives in sustainability come from people who have sat on many different sides of the table. In its first episode of the 2nd annual ESG Decoded x Climate Week NYC video series, host Emma Cox sits down with Stewart Lindsay, SVP & Chief Sustainability Officer at The Campbell’s Company.

Stewart shares how a love of history, a childhood in Florida, and a career that began in communications led him to sustainability, and why he believes nature deserves a bigger place in how we value food and farming.

Their conversation unpacks what it takes to drive change inside a 150-year-old company, how Campbell’s ties sustainability goals to its enterprise scorecard, and how its regenerative agriculture work is guided by the farmers.

Know why collaboration between companies, NGOs, and farmers is essential to advancing this work, how consumer awareness of where food comes from is growing, and why Stewart believes sustainability leaders need to be “persistent optimists” during a year of shifting priorities.
