The Beekly: Inside Workiva's Sustainability Strategy
Description
Sustainability leaders today are expected to balance carbon accounting, evolving disclosure rules, and real operational change—all while building systems that can scale. Few people understand that challenge better than Annalee Bloomfield, VP of Solutions, Sustainability at Workiva and co-founder of Sustain.Life (now part of Workiva Carbon).
Join Beehive CEO Adriel Lubarsky for a conversation with Annalee on how companies can move from ad-hoc ESG work to building durable, auditable, software-driven climate programs. They’ll discuss what Annalee learned building a B Corp sustainability platform, how teams can improve data quality without massive headcount, and what Workiva is turning the next generation of climate reporting software into.
Topics Include:
How Annalee’s experience at Jet.com and Walmart shaped her approach to sustainability product design
Lessons from building Sustain.Life as a B Corp and integrating into Workiva Carbon
What companies get wrong about carbon accounting—and how to simplify it
How lean ESG and finance teams can build credible, audit-ready climate programs
