Good morning. Summer in the city is a great time to talk about garbage. the Sewerage strikes This is what worries at this time of the year and the smells emanating from the outdoor garbage cans remind us that the United States is one of the largest waste producers in the world, where Americans are born About 951 kg (2100 pounds) From the municipal solid waste per person every year.
The company that deals with about a third of that garbage is the WM, the giant, which is valued at $ 24 billion per year known as its name known as its name Waste management. These are the dominant player transportation, landfill sites, recycling plants and landfill gases projects. In this week’s episode of luck‘s The next leadership Podcast, CEO Jim Fish talks about the brand’s alignment about sustainability. “It is a profitable matter for us,” he says, noting that decomposing trash produces natural gas that indicates garbage trucks in WM, among other things.
It also talks about the transformational role of technology in creating safer trucks, and Ergo, a fewer people are needed in roles that can have 50 % rotation rates. “I went back there once when it was less than zero on a truck, climbing snow snow. Your hands are cold; it’s a difficult task,” he says. “The most dangerous place around these trucks is when they are outside.”
While Fish says that his philosophy is the status of the employees first – “If they feel satisfied, they will make the customer feel satisfied. If the customer is happy, the shareholders will be happy in the end” – he feels a special responsibility towards the environment. “I receive a lot of calls from customers who say,” Hey, what happened to receive my recycling last week? “The environment does not call me.”
On that front, it indicates progress. When coming to New York as a child, he says: “I looked at the eastern river and thought,” Oh my God, look at what extent this is terrible. “WM does not deal with the garbage group here.) Now?” New York has done a lot. It is not Tokyo but she has done a great job in improvement … Are we there? No, but are we better than we were? “You can listen to our full conversation on Spotify or apple.
