SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY CHAINS
Intuit’ s sustainability strategy is built around its business mission to“ power prosperity around the world”, with Debbie Lizt, Head of Global Sustainability, steering efforts across operations, supply chain and community impact. The company, which provides financial technology products including QuickBooks, TurboTax, Credit Karma and MailChimp, treats climate action as part of how it serves customers and supports the communities where it operates.
Debbie oversees Intuit’ s internal environmental footprint while also pushing the company’ s influence“ beyond the value chain” into customer, student and community programmes.“ My mission is to power prosperity through climate action,” she says. Debbie says the strategy is holistic, combining operational decarbonisation, supply chain work and communityfacing initiatives, noting:“ We focus both internally and beyond our value chain.”
From green building to global strategy Debbie’ s sustainability journey began when a university professor introduced her to the relatively new concept of green building and the idea that the built environment could work in harmony with nature. That early exposure translated into a role leading the green building work at a construction company, then to a growing interest in how business decisions shape environmental outcomes. intuit. com 5
