3. “When a challenge hits you, there are two ways
you can go: be victimized by it or do something
about it. Choose to be positive every day, to be
present in life in everything you do. If you keep

build a better world. We’re all stakeholders.
Doing right by the environment and each other
gives us sustenance for the human soul.”

5. “I believe that no matter what you do in life,
you do it with excellence. And while there
are significant challenges in the world today,

6. “I would encourage everyone to learn and
do more in their own lives. One way to start
is to do the math. There are several websites
where you can estimate your personal impact.
Experiment with these and find ways to make
progress where it matters most in your own
life. I think you’ll find that many decisions you
make every day can have a material impact.”

chief sustainability officer at Owens Corning

7. “It’s not just about our company. We want to inspire
other companies, to show that we need to be
accountable for everyone, not just our customers.
No one business is going to move the needle
on solving the problems we face. So we want
to demonstrate to other people that it’s possible
to be successful while making purpose a part
of what you do. That’s also true for employees.
We want to help them change people’s lives.”
