    In this episode, Behzad shares how his transition from plant-level energy manager to a corporate sustainability role at Maple Leaf Foods is helping the company bring greater alignment and momentum to its energy goals. Drawing on his hands-on experience, Behzad emphasizes the value of site-specific targets, practical support tools and direct relationships with facility teams. Rather than managing from a distance, he collaborates closely with plants to tailor goals, build trust, and empower local teams. His story shows how on-the-ground experience provides a strong foundation but needs to be complemented with new skills and new approaches to create a system where every facility contributes meaningfully to sustainability goals. This episode illustrates how building strong connections and adapting strategies to fit plant-level realities can lead to lasting, company-wide energy performance improvements.
