NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / September 4, 2025 / Watch Season 5 Episode 6: The ROI of Sustainability – A CFO’s Perspective

The intersection of finance and sustainability is dynamic and full of opportunity. Far from existing in separate lanes, the two are increasingly intertwined, working together to fuel growth, spark innovation and create lasting value.

Economic sustainability and environmental sustainability

At its core, sustainability isn’t a trade-off against profitability; it’s a powerful driver of it. With the right investments, businesses can strengthen their bottom line while delivering benefits that extend to shareholders, society and the planet. 

In this episode, we speak to Chris Kuehn, Chief Financial Officer at Trane Technologies, and Erin Garrity, Services Account Manager, Trane. 

We take a deep dive into sustainability from the perspective of a CFO. Chris talks about the powerful venn diagram of sustainability, finance and technology; the secret sauce for company growth and how to pitch big ideas to a CFO.
