📷BUSINESS LEADERSHIP - The optimist CEO of Lenzing, Stefan Doboczky, weighs in on circular business models, short-termism & watchdogs. Do you ever wonder how CEOs from some of our industry’s most influential companies view the big social and environmental challenges we are facing today and the potential of business and innovation to adequately address these? TENCEL is a sponsor of this podcast series, so Michael took the chance and invited Lenzing’s CEO Stefan Doboczky to discuss a wide range of topics in a recent interview. They touch upon Stefan’s expectations of business leaders, the economics of sustainability investments, the circular model of Lenzing, the danger of short-termism, the conservative nature of the industry, climate change and forestry, and Stefan’s personal view of a better world where “being something is more important than having something…” If you ever wanted to peek into the mind of a global fiber company CEO, here is your chance.

This podcast is part of the #MakeItFeelRight campaign from TENCEL™.📷Will you help us evaluate and improve the podcast?

Although we will continue to release podcast episodes during the coming weeks, we are already planning for 2020, and we could really use your help.  Can you help us evaluate and improve the podcast series? The process is easy. If you have already listened to two or more podcast episodes, we would love for you to fill in a survey that includes questions about your experience and what we can do to improve the podcast. The survey takes around 15 minutes to complete. Or, if you have not listened to a podcast episode yet, then we will ask you to pick two podcast episodes to listen to, and then answer the survey. It's that easy. And hopefully it's also an engaging way to spend your time. If you are interested, please reach out to me at michael@sustainablefashionacademy.org.
