In our upcoming session we’ll meet Marna McDermott, Director of Sustainability at Exelon, one of the nation’s largest utility companies, serving more than ten million customers. Marna leads Exelon’s sustainability strategy, advancing its mission to power a cleaner and brighter future for the communities it serves.

With a background spanning environmental, energy, and natural resource policy, Marna has held key roles in the federal government and the nonprofit sector. She was a founding leader of the Conservation Litigation Project and previously served as Deputy General Counsel for the White House Council on Environmental Quality. At the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, she took on several senior positions, including Chief of Staff to the General Counsel. Join us as we talk with Marna about leading sustainability efforts in a highly regulated industry, how her government experience informs her strategy, and the importance of resilience in navigating today’s evolving ESG landscape.

Please join Heidi B. Friedman, partner and co-chair of the ESG Collaborative,
for one-on-one chats each month as she taps into the minds of ESG chiefs to examine how they are championing pragmatic ESG strategies to create innovative business models and building a sustainability framework to advance their company’s ESG footprint. Each session features a “meeting over lunch” with company executives from various industries who are actively paving the way for a sustainable future for their businesses to help secure consumer loyalty and increase employee satisfaction.
