The word sustainability has grown in popularity as the “must have” strategy in recent years.  But what is the context and the crisis that will really drive planetary change in our VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complex, and ambiguity) world of today.  Drawn from more than 30 years’ experience in the release liner industry, Sean’s presentation will share a few reflections on the philosophical challenge we all face and how to buck the greenwashing trend.

Please join us as Sean Duffy, VP Sustainability & Regulatory Compliance, will be highlighted at the AWA Global Release Liner Conference as the Keynote speaker, to discuss the dilemma of sustainable growth.  Sean has been in the silicone self-adhesive industry for over 35 years working in the technical, marketing and sales roles.  His involvement with FINAT and the liner industry have helped develop his awareness and knowledge regarding ESG.

Staying on point with sustainability, Agnes Jolly, Global Technical Leader for Self-Adhesives Industries, and Kyle Rhodes, Americas Business Group Manager, Self-Adhesives Industries, will join the AWA conference presenting how the development of LED technology is providing a sustainable solution for the future.

And finally, how does the sustainability path and the future provide opportunities for future growth and leadership development?  AWA will have 2 separate panel discussions on the future of leadership and the future of silicone technology.  Please join Sean and Kyle as they address these topics in open panel discussions.

Come join us at AWA, visit our exhibit, start a conversation to learn more about how these topics affect us not only in the future but right now.
