We had the privilege of witnessing Plastic Bank's David Katz's exceptional public speaking skills during our Global Alumni Reunion in November 2023. His talk, Imperfect entrepreneurship: The keys to creating and scaling for the planet, was not your everyday speech; it was a call to action to embrace sustainable business practices, contribute to environmental conservation, and actively engage in poverty reduction efforts.

As a public speaker, David possesses a rare ability to articulate complex issues with clarity and authenticity. He brings a unique perspective that goes beyond the traditional business narrative, challenging the audience to think differently and encouraging them to consider the broader implications of their actions. His narrative is not just about success, but a deeper purpose. Using a natural, extemporary delivery, David was able to captivate our audience in a way that left a lasting impression.

David made it possible for us to act. Our challenges are not for lack of ideas; however, for organizations as large as ours, the idea must be actionable and scalable. David did that, through the program. In the span of months, we were able to grow to over 27 countries, spanning boundaries and languages. He's a visionary by brilliantly showing us how we can have an instant global impact.

Environmental stewardship and enabling underserved communities has been embedded in SC Johnson's mission for decades. We are grateful that David shares our vision for a better world by helping to champion the critical need to end ocean-bound plastic waste and create pathways to further social and economic mobility for people in some of the world's most vulnerable communities. Our partnership with Plastic Bank has been invaluable, and we fervently believe in the long-term impact it will have for people and the planet.
