Sustainability Speaker Series

How do companies move from measuring their climate footprint to taking real, measurable action?

Join us for an insightful Sustainability Speaker Series presentation featuring Amanda Kardosh, Senior Director of Sustainability at Bloomin’ Brands, the company behind Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba's Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill, and Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar. She will explore how organizations assess, manage, and reduce their climate impact in today’s evolving corporate landscape.

This session will highlight why climate action has become a business imperative. Not only for environmental responsibility, but also for strengthening operational resilience, managing costs, meeting regulatory expectations, and building investor trust. Amanda will walk through how companies identify climate-related risks, set emissions reduction targets, and track progress over time.

Attendees will gain insight into key strategies driving decarbonization efforts, including energy efficiency improvements, waste and food loss reduction, sustainable packaging redesign, and supply-chain engagement in high-impact areas such as beef sourcing and deforestation risk.

Whether you are preparing for a career in sustainability or looking to better understand corporate climate strategy, this presentation offers practical, real-world perspectives applicable across industries.
