About Claudia Pilcher

As Sustainability Manager at Scholastic, I support the company’s annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory across Scopes 1–3, transforming complex data into actionable insights for leadership and public reporting. I also manage collaboration with cross-functional teams and external partners to align business objectives with sustainability goals and foster transparency. With a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies and International Relations from Colgate University and a certification in Corporate Sustainability Management from the Yale School of Management, I bring a strong foundation in corporate social responsibility, manufacturing, and environmental compliance. My goal is to integrate sustainability into business practices and drive progress toward meaningful environmental commitments.
