The Beekly: Scholastic's Sustainability Manager, Claudia Pilcher
This event will not be recorded. Please join live.
Scholastic has been putting books in children's hands for over a century. Now, it's thinking carefully about the world those children will inherit.
In this episode of The Beekly, Adriel Lubarsky sits down with Claudia Pilcher, Sustainability Manager at Scholastic, to talk about what it takes to build a credible sustainability function inside a legacy company — one with a global supply chain, a beloved consumer brand, and real physical footprint risk.
Claudia leads Scholastic's sustainability reporting and strategy, navigating the intersection of environmental disclosure, stakeholder expectations, and operational complexity. She's working through the same questions sustainability and finance leaders across Corporate America face: How do you move from aspirational goals to auditable disclosures? How do you communicate climate risk in terms leadership acts on?
You'll hear:
How Scholastic approaches climate disclosure and what frameworks are shaping its reporting roadmap
The supply chain dimensions of Scholastic's physical risk exposure
Lessons from building buy-in across finance, legal, and operations
What Claudia wishes more companies understood before they start reporting
Who Should Attend:
Corporate Sustainability, ESG, Legal, Compliance, Risk, and Investor Relations professionals navigating climate and impact reporting, stakeholder expectations, and cross-functional program design.
