Ecolumix CEO Doug Parker is the featured guest on the most recent episode of PracticalESG.com’s podcast, hosted by Lawrence Heim. In this episode, Doug discusses how sustainability and EHS functions increasingly need to be aligned and why applying credible regulatory data to corporate sustainability reporting is the way to go.  He shared  examples of two large companies with sustainability claims that were contradicted by their own EHS data. Doug describes how the absence of effective integration between the EHS and sustainability programs can dramatically increase companies’ reputational and financial risk.

Doug also shared his background leading EPA’s Criminal Investigation Division and how his experience there led him to founding Ecolumix, which applies vetted, regulatory data to support companies’ efforts to benchmark environmental performance and mitigate EHS risk.  You can listen to Lawrence’s episode with Doug here.
