EHS Director
Muir Omni Graphics
"I remember when we began our sustainable journey here at Muir Omni Graphics, I researched sustainability and found a definition that touched me: 'The ability to meet our present needs without endangering the future’s ability to meet their needs.'

Paul Robbertz
Vice President of Health, Safety, Environment
Tomkins Industrial & Automotive
"The one that fascinates me the most is water. Whether you’re talking about fresh water or the ocean, water ultimately has a direct and immediate impact on every living thing. I don’t think it’s getting the attention it deserves. We’re in an era of environmental transformation, but I have concerns about how we prioritize, manage, distribute and protect our water supplies."

Mario Varela
Director of Corporate EHS
APP Pharmaceuticals, LLC
"The biggest challenge has to be accommodating and adapting quickly to the increasing demands on the business. I think this is probably true for most EHS professionals out there and across most, if not all, industries. Nowadays, change is the ‘name of the game’ and how successful or painful the final result ends up being is highly dependent on your attitude and approach towards new things."
