Good morning. Summer in the city is a great time to talk about garbage. this Health strike This time of year, this troubled scent from open-air trash cans reminds us that the United States is one of the world’s largest waste producers and Americans are generating Approximately 951 kg (2,100 lbs) Municipal solid waste per person every year.
About one-third of the company that deals with the waste is Wm, the $24 billion giant, also known as waste management. This is the main participant in operating transfer stations, landfills, recycling plants and landfill gas projects. In an episode of this week wealth‘ Leader next Podcast, CEO Jim Fish talks about keeping the brand aligned around sustainability. “It’s profitable for us,” he said, noting that breaking up the garbage produces natural gas that powers the Wm garbage truck.
He also talked about the transformational role of technology in creating safer trucks and fewer characters, with a possible 50% role in operating rates. “I got back there once, when the rear of the truck was below zero and climbed over snowflakes. Your hands were cold; it was a tough job,” he said. “The most dangerous place around these trucks is when you’re outside.”
Fish said his philosophy is to put employees first – “If they feel good, they will make customers feel good. If customers are happy, then ultimately your shareholders are happy” – he will have a special responsibility for the environment. “I got a lot of calls from customers.’Hey,’hey, what happened to my recycling pickup last week?”The environment doesn’t call me.”
On that side, he pointed out the progress. He came to New York when he was a kid and said, “I looked at the East River and thought, ‘How scary my god looks.'” (WM doesn’t deal with garbage collection here. Now)? “New York does a lot. It’s not Tokyo, but it’s done a great job in improving… are we here? No, but are we better than before?” You can listen to our full conversation Spotify or apple.
