    Value Chain Decarbonization

    Welcome to the new episode of “The Sustainability Academy Podcast” by Bain & Company.  In this episode, host and Bain Senior Manager Jana Kremer-Homann welcomes Richard Haldimann, chief technology and sustainability officer at Clariant, and Torsten Lichtenau, Bain expert in decarbonization. The topic of this episode is “value chain decarbonization.” The world is racing to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050. Sustainability is a top priority in almost all industries, and its importance is only set to accelerate, especially in terms of addressing energy usage and curbing carbon emissions. What are the main concepts behind value chain decarbonization? What is the value potential behind it, and how do companies benefit from this potential? We'll answer that question in this episode.   Have fun listening!   More information about the podcast:  https://www.bain.com/insights/topics/the-sustainability-academy-podcast/   Any questions or suggestions?
