Description

My guest this week is Peggy Van Casteren, Head of SDG & Community Impact at J&J Benelux. In this episode, she talks about how: 

  • Sustainability is like a set of muscles in business, which need to be connected, exercised and strengthened
  • The healthcare industry is evolving from a focus on curing sickness to early interception and prevention of disease
  • Access to medicines relies on education, partnerships and technology (like drone delivery) to tackle global unmet needs for health
  • Closing the gender gap in STEM2D (science, technology, engineering, mathematics, manufacturing and design) careers brings opportunities
  • Diversity and inclusion stimulates creativity and innovation, with programs like Duo for a Job that works on refugee inclusion
