Innovating for a Sustainable World - Jason Jay

    Description

    MIT’s Director of Sustainability Jason Jay discusses the difficulties associated with his role and how to change the sustainability conversation.

    Jason argues that there is a perceived trade-off for organizations considering sustainability and a tension between 2 perspectives. 

    He suggests that to tackle this, we need to accept that we all care about both impact and performance to some degree and consider a more integrative approach to providing both healthy environments and healthy businesses.
