ABOUT SAMANTHA MCKEOUGH
Throughout my childhood, I spent most of my weekends at my family’s cottage on Bass Lake, a pristine spring-fed lake in northern Wisconsin. I spent time swimming until my lips turned blue, fishing, and canoeing and this laid the foundation for my appreciation and respect for the natural world. This later transformed into a passion. In my years at the University of Wisconsin – Madison, I learned more about the pressing environmental issues we are facing today – climate change, the rapid rate of species extinction, and the mass destruction of our precious resources. Also during my time as an undergraduate student, I sought out opportunities to channel this passion into action which ultimately steered me in the direction of a career as a sustainability professional. In the roles I’ve had this far, I have seen first-hand the importance of meeting people where they are, getting to know them, and to understand what motivates them. I find joy in bringing everyone together to work on solutions that have a positive impact on the triple bottom line: people, planet, and prosperity.I am: Passionate and pragmatic; Adaptable and analytical;Optimistic and organized. The topic areas of my expertise include: sustainability reporting, ESG disclosures, strategy development and implementation, waste reduction and management, energy benchmarking, environmentally preferred purchasing, stakeholder engagement, sustainable transportation, greenhouse gas emissions calculations, climate and health.
