Eastman CEO Mark Costa discusses the company’s breakthroughs in chemical recycling and circularity, as well as how this type of innovation is at the core of the company’s values and strategy. “We have what we call the triple challenge,” Costa says in this interview with ICE. “We look at climate as a challenge. We look at plastic waste as a challenge, and we look at just improving the quality of people's life as a challenge, and you have to make solutions to all three of those at the same time.” https://lnkd.in/ewSZ-mxd

Pollution is getting worse because of climate change, and health care companies must figure out how to respond to the negative health effects, writes Sanofi CEO Paul Hudson. He offers several recommendations, including the use of AI to improve climate adaptation. “For starters, the health-care sector must identify key environmental risks created or exacerbated by climate change, clarify their potential health implications, and strengthen responses to — and prevention of — the relevant conditions and diseases. Health-care pipelines must be supplemented with targeted treatments,” Hudson writes. https://lnkd.in/eQxCb6pf #climatechange #healthcare #artificialintelligence

This year’s U.S. presidential election will likely impact markets, as has historically been the case, says Edward Jones Managing Partner Penny Pennington. That said, she says, many clients are more focused on paying for college this time of year than worried about the markets. “Think about the direction we’re moving in: We got a sanguine jobs report today, wage growth is up, inflation is coming down, interest rates are coming down,” she says. https://lnkd.in/egX_y5Md #economy #markets #geopolitics

Americans are eating more meals at home and dining out less, a sign of cautious spending and “deal seeking from the consumer,” says McDonald's’s CEO Chris Kempczinski. Food CEOs including Jeff Harmening of General Mills also see consumers chasing value, while grocers see an opportunity in this trend. “We are cautiously optimistic about our sales outlook for the second half of the year and expect customers to continue prioritizing food and essentials,” said Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen. https://lnkd.in/ea54gHen #inflation #consumerspending #retailspending

Can the U.S. stick the soft landing? Maybe, but JPMorganChase CEO Jamie Dimon remains concerned. “I am a little more skeptical than other people. I give it lower odds,” he said Friday. “I hope it’s true, but I’m also more skeptical that inflation is going to go away so easily.” https://lnkd.in/eRSVSKxx #inflation #economy #recession

The Federal Reserve’s 50-basis-point cut shows the Fed doesn’t want to jeopardize the labor market by moving too slowly, says Roger W. Ferguson, Jr., vice chairman of The Business Council U.S. and chair emeritus of The Conference Board. "I believe this one is a little more in the camp of 'OK, we say the risks are balanced, but it's really the labor market we're looking at. So far, so good, let's jump ahead of this,'" he says. https://lnkd.in/eSiUuFuZ #interestrates #inflation #economy

Tata Group is aggressively pursuing the energy revolution by building electric vehicles and shifting from coal to renewables. In this interview, N. Chandrasekaran describes how he pushed for Tata Motors to deliver an EV in one year instead of four: “I said, you may think I am a fool, or I have no idea, but, I said, I need it in less than a year. He said it doesn’t happen in the auto industry. I said, ‘That is what we have to challenge.’” https://lnkd.in/eRci6q5G #energytransition #electricvehicles #india
