Fortune Brands Innovations recently deepened our partnership with Northwestern University’s Paula M. Trienens Institute for Sustainability and Energy through their Industry Affiliates Program (IAP). The Trienens Institute’s IAP promotes collaborative research and development with industry partners.
As a member of the IAP, Fortune Brands has a seat on the Trienens Institute Executive Council, a philanthropic advisory board consisting of entities who focus on sustainability and energy initiatives. The partnership also provides access to expert research, faculty insights, and a recruiting pipeline. Peter Kotiadis, our Director of Technology, Sustainability & Alliances, commented on the opportunities, stating:
This initiative aligns with our commitment to innovation and sustainability. We plan to bring our advanced materials expertise and manufacturing and operational insights to the table to advance the program’s mission. By collaborating with Northwestern’s world-class scientists and engineers, we aim to drive forward the development of groundbreaking solutions that will benefit both our industry and society at large.
We look forward to continuing this innovative partnership, which enhances our ability to create innovative products and drive Brands that Create Impact for us all as We Elevate Every Life by Transforming Spaces into Havens.
