“The idea is not to save the planet—the planet will survive.”

Veolia CEO Estelle Brachlianoff shared a different perspective on sustainability during CNBC’s "Executive Decisions" podcast.

“The question is the human being on it, the industries. How do we ensure that we still have prosperity on this planet? It’s not the planet itself we have to save,” she told Steve Sedgwick.

For Brachlianoff, the conversation needs to shift from the abstract to the tangible—putting people at the center: securing supply chains, protecting jobs and safeguarding health.
