The Beekly: Inside Box's Sustainability Strategy
Join us for an in-depth conversation with Philippe Routhier Senior Program Manager, Sustainability & ESG at Box, the leading Intelligent Content Management platform powering how the world works together.
In this session, we’ll explore how Box is building a modern ESG program inside a fast-growing, AI-enabled software company—balancing customer expectations, emerging regulations, and internal change. The conversation will focus on what it actually looks like to operationalize ESG across climate, people, and governance in practice.
Philippe will share insights on:

Embedding belonging and the future of work into ESG strategy, with concrete programs around pay equity, hybrid work, and employee engagement
Navigating voluntary and regulatory reporting, including CDP, EcoVadis, and growing customer-driven disclosure expectations
Entering the sustainability field from a non-traditional background as an executive chef
