Description of Duke School of Business Video: Nikki Rodoni — Director of Sustainability, Gills Onions (http://www.gillsonions.com/)

“The Value of Waste.” When Gills Onions peeled their first onion, they realized that waste was going to be a problem, but far from shying away from the challenge they set out to find a solution consistent with their values. The principles of sustainability are embedded in Gills Onions’ core values of doing what is right, accepting personal responsibility and always seeking to improve at every level of their operations. The company has adopted ambitious and meaningful goals to continuously improve their environmental profile, both for near and long term. Nikki will share the goals and steps her team is taking along the way to get “Beyond the Bottom Line.”
