Kenvue Healthy Lives Mission: Q&A with Jennifer Duran, Group Head of Sustainability
NORTHAMPTON, MA / / August 12, 2025 / Realizing the extraordinary power of everyday care To read Kenvue's 2024 Healthy Lives Mission Report, visit Q&A with Jennifer Duran, Group Head of Sustainability, Kenvue Q: How is Kenvue's approach to sustainability evolving following our transformation into a standalone consumer health company? At Kenvue, we recognize that people's health is deeply interconnected with the health of our planet. Therefore, as a company singularly focused on consumer health, sustainability becomes a key element of how we do business and serve our Purpose-whether that's through our products and solutions, including many beloved brands worldwide, or through our work to reduce the impact of our operations and transition our sourcing efforts to be more mindful of the environment. That's why we're working cross-functionally to make sustainability part of our processes and built in, not retroactive or bolted on. Q: What are some of the biggest opportunities where Kenvue can make an impact? We have tremendous opportunities to partner with our industry to drive impact worldwide, from suppliers to customers as well as consumers. For example, on the ingredients side, we are working with suppliers to fully understand the lifecycle of our raw materials and identify the hotspots where we have the most opportunity for innovation as well as where we may need to build resilience. And through non-competitive industry consortiums such as the EcoBeautyScore, the Forum for the Future's Climate and Health Coalition, or the Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), we are using our collective knowledge to increase transparency, drive more responsible sourcing practices, and design more sustainable and resilient systems. Q: What are some of the challenges you face as you look ahead? We have the right strategy in place and our goals are set but there is alot of work ahead as we balance short-term mitigation with longer-term resilience-building efforts. What's important is maintaining our focus on our material topics and being thoughtful and strategic about the choices we make in how we manage them. This work is about innovation and identifying opportunities for growth as well as about managing risk and building resiliency in our business and value chain. Q: What are you most excited about as you think about the work ahead for Kenvue? I'm excited about the deeper integration of our Healthy Lives Mission within our business strategy and am looking forward to reinforcing the connections between sustainability, growth, innovation, and our commitment to help people realize the extraordinary power of everyday care.

4 Indian schools among finalists for World's Best School Prizes 2025
Four Indian schools were on Wednesday named among the top 10 finalists across different categories for the annual World's Best School Prizes, organised in the UK to celebrate schools' enormous contribution to society's progress. Schools from Haryana, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh were unveiled as contenders for a membership to the Best School to Work programme to help schools attract and retain the best teachers. The worldwide winners across categories would be announced in October. The five World's Best School Prizes – for Community Collaboration, Environmental Action, Innovation, Overcoming Adversity, and Supporting Healthy Lives – were founded by UK-headquartered T4 Education in the wake of COVID to give a platform to schools that are changing lives in their classrooms and beyond. 'In a world being turned upside down by AI, as technology reshapes the way we learn and renders jobs that have existed for centuries obsolete, amid growing challenges of climate change, conflict, poverty and populism, the world our young people are entering has never felt more precarious. 'And a good education, with humans at its heart, has never been more important,' said Vikas Pota, Founder of T4 Education and the World's Best School Prizes. T4 Education calls itself a global platform bringing together a community of over 2,00,000 teachers from more than 100 countries to transform education. Government Girls Senior Secondary School, NIT 5, a state secondary school in Faridabad, Haryana, has been selected for transforming the lives of at-risk girls by interlinking nutritional programmes, physical wellbeing, and mental health support with education to break down societal barriers and ensure no girl is left behind. It is on the list of 10 finalists for the World's Best School Prize for Supporting Healthy Lives. ZP School Jalindar Nagar, a public primary school in Khed taluka, near Pune, has been recognised for revolutionising public-school education by providing quality student-led learning with its Subject Friend system, a peer-learning model where students of different ages teach and learn from each other. This Maharashtra-based school is a finalist in the World's Best School Prize for Community Collaboration category. Ekya School, J P Nagar, is an independent kindergarten, primary, and secondary school in Bengaluru which is empowering students to become innovative thinkers and proactive problem solvers through a Design Thinking curriculum that integrates human-centred design processes and skills development. This school in Karnataka has been named a Top 10 finalist for the World's Best School Prize for Innovation. Delhi Public School Varanasi, an independent kindergarten, primary and secondary school in Varanasi, is creating an environment where students are empowered to explore, grow and lead with compassion through its learner-centric educational model that embeds environmental stewardship and social responsibility into the learning experience. This UP school is in the running for the World's Best School Prize for Environmental Action. Congratulating the schools on becoming finalists for the World's Best School Prizes 2025, Pota said, 'It is in schools like these that we find the innovations and expertise that give us hope for a better future. Leaders and schools around the world have so much to learn from these inspirational Indian institutions.' The winners will be chosen by an expert Judging Academy, with all 50 finalist schools across the five prizes also taking part in a public vote opened this week to determine the winner of the Community Choice Award. The worldwide winners across these categories will be announced in October, with all the finalists and winners invited to the World Schools Summit in Abu Dhabi on November 15-16. The winning schools will share their best practices, unique expertise and experience with policymakers and leading figures in global education.
