Building Better: The Intersection of Growth and Sustainability - Alexis Haass
Welcome to season 3 episode 8 of Better Than We Found It, the go-to podcast for sustainable leadership and purpose-driven business practices.
On today’s show, I’m excited to welcome Alexis Haass, a seasoned expert with over 20 years of experience at the intersection of business and climate action. From her impactful work at Adidas, where she led sustainability efforts, to her role as the first Chief Sustainability Officer at Arcadis, Alexis has consistently been at the forefront of driving meaningful change. Now, she focuses on advising private equity portfolio companies and advancing green transition solutions through the Women Climate Leaders Network at the European Investment Bank.
In this episode, we explore Alexis’ career journey, what inspired her passion for sustainability, and her vision for the future of sustainable business. We discuss the role of innovation in shaping consumer demand and, most importantly, why linking sustainability with growth and strategy is key to driving performance.
