Social Impact Power Chat with Christina Beckman of Culligan International

Christina Beckman, Senior Manager of Environmental Social Governance (ESG) at Culligan International, discusses the company's commitment to sustainability, with a focus on water filtration and softening. Christina advises how best to establish a corporate social impact program, emphasizing the importance of first going on a listening tour within the organization. Christina makes the case that ESG programs should be #communityfirst by aligning company resources with the actual needs of the populations they serve. This episode concludes with a look into the future of #socialimpact, in which Christina anticipates the growing influence of regulations, especially in areas like financial data and carbon emissions. Rather than conceptualizing these increased regulations as a business burden, she imagines they will actually bolster the support and justification of CSR initiatives.
