Digital Version In an era defined by environmental urgency and the quest for regenerative growth, few leaders embody the principles of sustainability as profoundly as Dr. PKC Bose, Executive Advisor to Global Board of Directors and Chairman, CAMBI INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED. A visionary industrialist and global sustainability advocate, Dr. Bose’s leadership journey reflects a career-long dedication to one purpose: transforming industries and mindsets toward a circular, sustainable, and inclusive future. From shaping multinational manufacturing empires to leading the charge in renewable energy, biogas, and waste-to-resource technologies, Dr. Bose’s professional story is one of innovation, integrity, and impact. Today, at the helm of Cambi India—part of the Norway-based global leader in sludge-to-biogas and biofertilizer technology—he stands as a driving force behind India’s transition to a circular economy. His mission: to prove that sustainability and prosperity are not opposing goals, but powerful partners in redefining the future of human progress. A Career Built on Vision and Transformation Dr. Bose’s journey toward becoming one of the world’s most respected sustainability leaders began with a simple yet profound conviction—to work only for organizations that serve the planet. His professional ascent is marked by leadership roles that span continents, technologies, and industries, each contributing to his deep understanding of industrial transformation and sustainable growth. He began his career as General Manager of Operations for a U.S.-based company, where he developed a strong foundation in engineering management and operations excellence. His career soon took him to SEW EURODRIVE Group, a renowned German power transmission company, where he served as Managing Director & CEO for 12 years. Under his leadership, SEW EURODRIVE established a strong manufacturing presence in India and became a trusted name across the continent. Later, Dr. Bose joined SAERTEX Group, Germany—the global leader in advanced technical textiles made from glass, carbon, and aramid fibers. For over 16 years, he steered SAERTEX’s Indian operations to the forefront of the composite materials sector, building one of the strongest organizations in the industry. His next chapter took him to ENERCON Group, Germany, the world’s largest privately-owned wind turbine manufacturer, as Vice Chairman & Managing Director. There, Dr. Bose led a remarkable transformation of the company’s Indian operations. He established a world-class Innovation Centre, three manufacturing plants for wind turbine blades, generators, and towers, and positioned ENERCON India as a major global exporter of renewable-energy components. Under his stewardship, ENERCON became synonymous with engineering excellence, sustainability, and industrial innovation. After completing his tenure at ENERCON, Dr. Bose co-founded ENREGO ENERGY GmbH, Germany, alongside senior colleagues from the ENERCON Group. ENREGO ENERGY focuses on wind, solar, green hydrogen, and energy storage systems—and has rapidly emerged as one of the fastest-growing green energy companies in Europe. In parallel, Dr. Bose has continued to serve as an advisor and board member to numerous international organizations leading the global sustainability transition, including ArcelorMittal Building Solutions, 2G Energy AG, Nagarro Group, EJOT GmbH, B&T Composite, and Kineco Composite. Yet among his many roles, his work with Cambi Group holds a special place. As Executive Advisor and Chairman of Cambi India, Dr. Bose is bringing one of the world’s most transformative technologies—the Thermal Hydrolysis Process (THP)—to India for the first time, helping the country turn urban waste challenges into renewable energy opportunities. Cambi India: Turning Waste into Wealth Cambi Group, headquartered in Norway and listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange, is a global leader in sustainable wastewater treatment and resource recovery. Through its cutting-edge THP technology, the company transforms sewage sludge into biogas, biofertilizer, and clean water, enabling a full-circle solution for waste management. Cambi India, under Dr. Bose’s leadership, is driving this mission forward by localizing and scaling the technology for India’s unique environmental and infrastructural needs. Its approach is not merely technological—it is transformational. Cambi’s THP systems use high temperature and pressure to pre-treat sludge, breaking down organic material and significantly enhancing biogas yield. The process not only reduces sludge volume and operational costs but also produces pathogen-free, Class-A biosolids safe for agricultural use. As a result, wastewater treatment plants transition from being cost centers to energy-positive facilities that generate renewable power and valuable soil nutrients. This innovation directly supports India’s broader sustainability objectives, from Net Zero 2070 to Swachh Bharat Urban 2.0, GOBAR-Dhan, and the National Green Hydrogen Mission. By enabling cities to generate renewable biogas and high-quality biofertilizer, Cambi India is contributing to cleaner energy, circular resource use, and sustainable agriculture—all crucial pillars of the circular economy. “Cambi India is not just treating wastewater—it is reimagining waste as a resource,” says Dr. Bose. “Our mission is to turn sanitation challenges into economic opportunities and position India as a global leader in sustainable innovation.” Evangelizing the Circular Economy For Dr. Bose, being an evangelist for the circular economy is not simply a professional responsibility—it is a personal philosophy. He believes that circularity represents a transformative shift in how societies view waste, resources, and growth. “To be a circular-economy evangelist is to challenge the take-make-dispose mindset and replace it with one of regeneration and renewal,” he explains. “It means proving that environmental stewardship can drive prosperity, and that sustainable growth is not a contradiction but a necessity.” Dr. Bose drives this vision by bridging the gap between innovation and implementation. He works closely with utilities, policymakers, and industries to advocate for technologies that turn waste into value—anaerobic digestion, thermal hydrolysis, and biogas-to-energy systems among them. Through his mentorship and leadership, he not only guides decision-makers but also inspires the next generation of engineers, scientists, and entrepreneurs to see sustainability as the defining challenge of their time. “Being a sustainability evangelist,” he says, “is about creating believers, not just customers; building systems change, not just projects.” Innovation as the Engine of Climate Action The cornerstone of Cambi’s success lies in innovation. The company’s THP technology transforms what was once an environmental liability—sewage sludge—into a renewable asset. Traditionally, sludge disposal has relied on landfilling or incineration, both costly and environmentally harmful. Cambi’s approach flips that paradigm, enabling cities to generate energy, improve soil

Digital Version In the evolving landscape of healthcare, communication has become more than a supporting function—it’s a bridge that connects innovation, empathy, and community trust. At CHI St. Vincent, this bridge is built and strengthened under the leadership of Bonnie Ward, the Market Director of Marketing and Communications, whose visionary approach has been redefining how healthcare systems engage with patients, caregivers, and communities. For Bonnie, strategic communication in healthcare has entered a transformative era. “Consumers are interacting with healthcare brands much more like they do retail brands such as Amazon or Walmart,” she explains. “They want to select providers and surgical specialties based on the ability to get in quickly and conveniently.” This evolution in consumer behavior, particularly among Millennials and younger generations, has shifted expectations dramatically. Where older generations often displayed hospital loyalty, today’s patients are looking for speed, transparency, and accessibility—hallmarks of the retail experience. This shift has pushed healthcare marketers, including Bonnie’s team, to adapt rapidly. “This retail-style interaction with patients has challenged marketers and strategists to adopt online capabilities for scheduling much sooner than it naturally would have occurred,” she notes. “Healthcare has historically not adopted digital innovation as quickly as other business sectors.” Through this lens, Bonnie sees communication not just as a tool but as a responsibility—one that balances technological advancement with the deeply human essence of care. Anchoring Innovation in Mission and Compassion At CHI St. Vincent, a faith-based organization and part of one of the nation’s largest Catholic healthcare systems, mission and purpose are inseparable from strategy. Bonnie emphasizes that every initiative begins and ends with the organization’s core values. “When you are part of the nation’s largest Catholic faith-based healthcare systems, like St. Vincent is, mission is at the forefront of every conversation,” she says. “Our mission of expanding access to care and serving those who are most vulnerable leads us to look at where healthcare is lacking in the community so we can bridge the gap for our patients.” Bonnie’s perspective embodies the dual lens of a strategist and a servant leader. Her approach ensures that marketing decisions are grounded not only in growth metrics but also in social responsibility. “Mission also drives strategists to maximize our investments to ensure our growth opportunities make the most sense—both from a return-on-investment standpoint and from an access standpoint. Marketers and strategists have to work together to vet opportunities that make sense and also fulfill our obligation to humanity.” For Bonnie, the goal is to ensure that marketing is never detached from the mission—it’s a vehicle for fulfilling it. The Power of Data-Driven Storytelling In an era dominated by analytics and automation, Bonnie maintains a clear conviction: data and storytelling are not separate forces—they are symbiotic. “It is interesting to me that strategists and marketers talk about data and storytelling as two separate decision-making processes,” she shares. “I mentor my team to understand that your data should be driving the stories you tell, and for that matter, not to tell.” Her philosophy transforms raw numbers into narratives that resonate deeply with communities. For instance, Bonnie explains how data can reveal patterns that help save lives. “Data tells us that there is a seasonality that can be tracked for several procedures, including aneurysms, due to factors such as temperature change and barometric pressure,” she says. “As marketers, we can use this data to ensure that the stories shared leading up to this seasonality are about knowing where to go in an emergency, signs of small brain bleeds, or what symptoms to watch for if you are traveling.” Through this approach, CHI St. Vincent transforms statistics into storytelling with purpose—turning awareness campaigns into life-saving education. “Using data that is at a marketer’s fingertips strengthens consumer needs with community education,” Bonnie emphasizes. Making Healthcare Communication Accessible to All Healthcare marketing, at its heart, must speak the language of its audience. For Bonnie, this means ensuring clarity, accessibility, and trust across every communication channel. “In Arkansas, the average reading level is about 8th grade,” she explains. “That is why we are diligent about ensuring patient educational materials, videos, Google search terms, and signage are all understandable at that reading level.” But accessibility isn’t just about simplification—it’s about inclusion and collaboration. CHI St. Vincent actively engages patients to refine communication strategies. “We also interact with local patients through a patient experience team to showcase these types of materials and welcome feedback,” she says. “The key is to not work in silos but to garner feedback through small groups or focus groups and actually reflect your learnings in all that you do.” This open, feedback-driven approach has allowed CHI St. Vincent to build genuine relationships with the community, reinforcing the organization’s identity as both a healthcare provider and a trusted neighbor. Honesty and Integrity as the Foundation of Brand Trust Leadership, especially in healthcare marketing, is often tested during moments of change. For Bonnie, one such moment came in 2017, when CHI St. Vincent made the difficult decision to discontinue labor and delivery services. “My small but mighty marketing team at St. Vincent knows that my number one priority is honest communication—even with challenging information that you may have to share,” she recalls. “When our health system made the hard decision to no longer offer labor and delivery, we took an honest media approach.” What made this approach exceptional was the organization’s choice to collaborate with a competitor. “This approach even included us openly partnering with a competitor of ours who had the strongest labor and delivery program in the area so we ensured no lapse of care for our patients or employees,” she explains. The transparency paid off. “While we were met with some negative commentary, the support for our decision was overwhelmingly positive due to our transparency. The integrity of your brand must be reflected consistently or it falls short. Consumers are savvy and know when something is genuine.” This philosophy has become a cornerstone of Bonnie’s leadership: authenticity builds credibility, and credibility sustains trust.
