Episode 040: Liam Bruno, Walgreens Boots Alliance

Episode notes

This month we meet Liam Bruno, a Double Demon currently serving as Senior Manager for Procurement at Walgreens. Liam's focus is on integrating ESG into day-to-day operations. ESG is, of course, well established and proven to create value when executed well, but there are many obstacles. Still, forward thinking firms like Walgreens are widening their definition of stakeholder to include social and environmental interests; seeing the potential payoff of cooperation between this wider interest group. In essence, Liam's role is seeking, what economic theory calls, a Pareto optimal solution, where all these interest groups are served while taking away from none. How does he do that? Listen in.
